Founders

  • Manny GriffithsCo-Founder & CEO

    After studying Finance at BYU, I did B2B SaaS sales for a legal tech company in Utah. While selling that software, my clients asked for a specific feature, they wanted "a dominos pizza tracker for legal cases". I left that company to create that tool so that all businesses can update and educate their clients on their services.

  • Josh ChristensenFounder

    While studying Mechanical Engineering at BYU, I started an e-commerce sandal company called J-Slips Hawaii which I scaled to $1M+ in revenue in 2 years. I turned it over to my family to run so I could pursue a career in tech. I taught myself how to code and became a software engineer working at extremely fast growing tech companies, first Qualtrics and then Route, before co-founding Hona.
