The problem

I owned the goal-setting framework at a billion-dollar company for years. Every OKR tool on the market was overcomplicated and expensive, so leadership would not use them, which defeats the point. We were running company goals on spreadsheets that could not keep up.

What I built

I built OKRight as a weekend project and kept improving it until the company started leasing it from me as a vendor. Goal setting, reporting, and the feature the market skipped: cross-functional dependency planning, so every function could see what other teams needed from them. Self-serve billing through Stripe, SSO through Okta, run end to end by one non-engineer.

The outcome

OKRight ran the OKR framework at a 1,200-person, billion-dollar company for over two years and was profitable from its first customer. Executives quoted it by name in all-hands. The product is retired, but it taught me more about zero-to-one than anything else I have built.
