The Simply Stated Story

The hard things about building great software don't need to stay hard any longer

How we started

We've built a lot of software and led a lot of amazing teams while doing it. The people working alongside us have been, simply put, amazing. However, even with amazing people, software building is just too hard. There is too much complexity and too many details.

The problem is that introducing structure has always slowed things down more than it's improved cohesion and output. Until now. With the advent of AI that works, we can help ambitious software teams generate incredible business value without asking them to do any extra work.

We started Simply Stated because there is a better way. Software runs our world and we can't sit idly by without helping the teams that build that software. So often, when you see a team struggle, it's because of either a missing abstraction or a bad abstraction. In the case of product teams, we believe it's a missing abstraction: flows. Product teams build flows and yet, very few product teams can point to their flow, look at it, or even name its key pieces. Simply Stated is changing that, starting with Team Pando: your team's collaborative space for product requirements.

We’re a principle-driven company with strong values

Integrity - Human X Webflow Template

We believe ethics matter

We have moral obligations to employees, customers, and partners. There is a moral imperative to enable humans to build large systems that work. We optimize profit subject to ethical constraints.

Excellence - Human X Webflow Template

We're proud of our work

Anything we choose to do, we do as well as we can. We optimize for speed of shipping value to customers subject to the constraint that we are maximally proud of our work.

Simplicity - Human X Webflow Template

We aim for simplicity

In the Rich Hickey sense. We solve problems by pulling things apart, creating generic, single-purpose capabilities that we can compose into many solutions we haven't yet dreamt of.

Excellence - Human X Webflow Template

We're bold

We are bold, not incremental. We start from first principles to discover true solutions. We build products and a business that matter!

Teamwork - Human X Webflow Template

We walk the walk

We see every challenge and every moment as an opportunity to build trust through costly action. We believe that, repeated consistently over time, those actions become our reputation.

Creativity - Human X Webflow Template

We own end-to-end

Assembly line techniques and firmly delineated roles may work elsewhere but not here. Insight comes from dirty hands and breadth of experience. Each team member does it all.
