Strengthen manager and team performance at scale with AI coaching, roleplay, and team experiences in one platform—customized to your company, and integrated with your tools.



We believe AI is meant to amplify human judgment, not bypass it. Every product decision we make starts with one question: does this make people more capable, or more dependent? We build AI that develops manager instinct, strengthens team trust, and compounds human potential over time.
Operators and AI builders from Google, Meta, McKinsey, and Yahoo! who spent years studying what makes managers and organizations effective, and who now build the AI systems to scale it.

Jennifer has spent more than 25 years building AI products and leading large organizations at Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and Change.org. Her first startup was acquired by Google in 2011 for its machine learning and Natural Language Processing technology, and she went on to lead large AI organizations at both Google and Meta, where her team focused on understanding, recommending, and ensuring the safety of content in Facebook Groups.
She founded Rising Team and built Arti, its AI leadership coach, to fulfill a vision she had carried for years: using AI to develop confident, high-performing leaders and teams at scale. She teaches Management at Stanford Graduate School of Business and is the bestselling author of Purposeful.

Jeff has spent the past decade building AI systems that drive growth at massive scale.

Tanya brings 20 years of building high-impact experiences for millions of users at Facebook, Hot Studio, Razorfish, and PeopleSoft.
