Stories and ideas about building and scaling startups

A blog by the team behind Equals

Our team has decades of knowledge from building at Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Stripe, Atlassian, Intercom, and Loom – to name a few.

We write about and share our ideas and the lessons we’ve learned in strategy, finance, analytics, product, engineering, sales, and marketing. We pride ourselves on being opinionated, honest, and vulnerable. We hope our stories help others as they build and scale their own companies.

We usually post at least once weekly.

About us

We're building a next-generation data analysis and reporting tool that fits this era of work. It's directly connected to your data and is as unconstrained and flexible as a spreadsheet. It's paired with BI-grade dashboards that are as quick and easy to create as a doc. It’s the data tool we have always wanted ourselves.
