The Scope Family

Annual offsite, New York City

The Scope team together at the 2026 offsite in New York

We kicked off 2026 together in NYC

Every January we bring the team together to align, celebrate, and set the tone for the year ahead.

Scope has been our tech partner since day one, and they’ve been a major reason we’ve been able to move as fast as we have. Their engineering talent is elite, but what makes them truly different is how deeply they understand product. They’ve helped us think through strategy, roadmap, and go to market decisions like an extension of our founding team. Just as importantly, they’re genuinely great people, responsive, collaborative, and a real pleasure to build with.
