In 2011 SkySlope started out in the third bedroom of our CEO’s house with just him and two others.

The team has now grown from the original 3 to over 180 and our new space allows us to aggressively move towards our goal of being 200 strong by the end of 2019. Thanks to an amazing team and tons of Red Bull we now have over 200,000 users spread out across 5000 offices nationwide.
