Founders

  • Sondre RaschFounder/CEO

    Co-founder and CEO of SafetyWing (YC W18) and SuperSide (YC W16). Formerly economics interested and policy advisor for the government of Norway. Generally into rationality, effective altruism, Karl Poppers theory of knowledge and consequentialist libertarianism.

  • Sarah SandnesFounder/CTO

    Norwegian based in NYC, with comp sci, math and startup background. Consider myself a pretty optimistic rationalist. I'm into reading, cooking, nutrition, health, exercise, nootropics, longevity, and creating a world with more equal opportunities - made a lot more possible thanks to the Internet and remote work. I'm also a singer-songwriter.
