Reza Farahani has a background in engineering, and was heavily influenced by his family. In particular, his Uncle was a fighter jet engineer, which he thought was the coolest job in the world. He graduated from Waterloo, and became a data scientist - but eventually moved towards entrepreneurship. Outside of tech, he lives in Ontario and loves to rock climb and boulder. He enjoys the community aspect of the sport, and has access to gyms and outdoor boulders where he lives. He also passionate about food, enjoying Greek and Turkish food in Greek Town where he lives.

Reza and his co-founder wanted to engage workers who were working remote - productivity, mental health, etc. And they believed that these parameters were vectors in measuring the performance of remote teams.
