Origin Story

By Dustin Moskovitz

The Problem

At Facebook, coordinating work across growing teams was chaotic — email and meetings couldn't scale.

Building It

Founded 2008 by Facebook co-founder, launched 2012. IPO in 2020 (NYSE: ASAN). 150K+ organizations.

What It Means

Proved that 'work about work' is a massive category — teams spend 60% of time on coordination, not actual work.

The Dream

Help teams coordinate effortlessly so they spend time on the work that matters, not organizing it.
