What is a crazy story about the startup?:
We were working with a development team online; they claimed to live in different parts of the world, and they weren’t doing a great job, so we moved on. Eventually, we learned they all work in the same room as a big team and had constructed these fake identities to get the job! It was hilarious to us and was a big learning moment for me.

We, along with many people, look up to Slack and how they have become an essential cog in so many people’s daily lives. The simplicity, necessity, and accurate design elements are all a key part of making online communication easy, and we want to replicate that with Fresco.
