Mission

To help teams ship great products by making better decisions.

Manifesto

Your product tools and processes are holding your team back from helping your users to achieve their goals. We exist to help you stay laser focused on them.

Background

Gone are the days of “growth at all costs”. Your business's budgets are lean, with a focus on profitability and operational efficiency. Now, more than ever, delivering value to your users and your business in a sustainable way is key.

Early stage product teams are having to adapt, but the tools are not keeping up. They've been built for enterprise organisations where bureacracy gets in the way of shipping great products. While the voice of the customer, such as support issues, feature requests, and feedback are helpful, they are reactive, lagging indicators of the jobs your customers need to get done.

We’ve experienced firsthand how valuable qualitative user research can be—talking to just seven people from your target segment can enable your team to glean so much insight. But, also how challenging it is to systematically analyse, share, and act upon the insights and tie them to your business goals.

At ARE, we’re starting with a product tool that helps your team ship great products by making better decisions.

Our values

01

Strive for better

We take action because we want to make the world better than it was before. We lift each other up along the way.

02

Take the lead

We seek out opportunity. We trust each other to use good judgement. We share what we learned so that others might benefit.

03

Nurture relationships

We value connection, communication, and collaboration. Seeing and listening without judgement. Respecting each other‘s time.

04

Behave with integrity

We are candid about what we want. We hold ourselves accountable, admit our mistakes, and ask for help at the right time.
