Colleen Schnettler was a stay at home Mom for many years, taking care of her 3 children. When she was looking to return to work, she was looking for remote - and it seemed that programming was the best avenue. She taught herself rails development, with the goal of starting her own company. Outside of tech, she spends time with her family outdoors, and claims she is a meat and potatoes kinda gal, with some bark thins for desert.

Recently, Colleen and her co-founder did a pivot of their previous offering, which was a package to solve reporting problems by embed them into your application. They are now focused on a SaaS tool, to provide this functionality for you.

Eduardo Abeliuk is originally from Santiago, Chile, where he spent the first few decades of his life. From early days, he had a deep curiosity to understand the world around him, which led him to study physics and electrical engineering. Post school, he joined an MIT startup, prior to obtaining his PhD from Stanford. Outside of tech, he likes to read books about longetivit, and listen to the Lex Friedman podcast. He also walks for at least an hour a day, and enjoys hiking, biking and time with family and friends.

Together with some colleagues from Stanford, Eduardo felt the pains of planning research projects. This process contained several processes that could have been automated through software. So, they decided to set out and build an enterprise solution for R&D projects.
