Steady

Steady is the autonomous team coordination platform revolutionizing modern work.

The average knowledge worker spends an astonishing 23 hours each week on coordination tasks—meetings, context-switching, and chasing information—rather than the work itself. This “coordination tax” drains productivity, diminishes work quality, and contributes to burnout and attrition.

Steady cuts the coordination tax and reverses the downward spiral of productivity, quality, and engagement. It runs in the background, automatically distilling plans & progress from tools, teams, and people into tailored summaries that give everyone the clarity they need to make fast decisions and outstanding products.

Designed for today’s complex work environments—where information is fragmented across tools, schedules, and human silos—Steady seamlessly integrates into your stack, delivering speed-to-impact instantly. It transforms how organizations coordinate, multiplying capacity and capability without increasing complexity.

At its core, Steady implements Continuous Coordination, an open-source framework for high-performance knowledge work. This proven methodology promotes structured, asynchronous communication loops, empowering teams to make informed decisions and achieve alignment without constant interruptions.

Cofounder and Principal

I've been building digital products and leading software teams for almost three decades. My experience includes engineering and product leadership roles in all sorts of organizations, from bootstrapped businesses and venture-backed startups to publicly traded companies. 

Over the years, I've been lucky enough to work, fail, and succeed with world-class creatives, engineers, marketers, and execs. I deeply understand what it takes to efficiently align people behind inventing, developing, scaling, and cultivating exceptional software products.

Today, I'm harvesting this experience to build and grow Steady, a simple approach to asynchronously coordinating work for software product orgs. Steady implements an open-source set of principles for modern knowledge work called Continuous Coordination, which I helped to create with my colleagues at Steady and other tech leaders.
