We give teams the bigger picture to better plan client work.
Float helps professional service teams plan resources and schedule projects, profitably. We’re modernizing resource management and building a sustainable future of remote work
How do you maintain flexibility & balance for your team?
A note from Glenn, CEO & Co-founder
We’re seeking to have an outsized impact on workplace productivity - to help every professional team around the world save time when planning their projects. We exist in a competitive category, against extremely well-funded teams, that are far greater in team size. To succeed, we believe in seeking a high density of talent and setting a high standard of excellence in how we work.
We’ve been a fully-remote company for over 10 years. A decentralized working environment, by nature, places greater emphasis on the quality of your output, versus effort or time spent. We reward A+ quality output, not A+ effort and B quality work.
As a fully-remote team, we place an unusually high value and expectation on concise, proactive, and productive async communication. There’s a 100% overlap with high performers and great communication at Float!
We seek growth because it creates opportunity. We want to be a $100M revenue company in 5 years. We want Float to be the best place for great performers to stay. I find the most rewarding moments at Float, are watching team members thrive and grow. We’re on a growth journey, we’re learning as we go, and there will be times when it’s more effective to bring in someone with experience, who has traveled the path before than to invest in developing existing talent.
I want Float to be where you do the best work of your career so far. We don’t always get things right, but we aim to treat everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve. And we seek to learn and improve together through every experience.
