YieldStack's answer

YieldStack combines AI-assisted lender matching with hands-on commercial mortgage brokerage. Borrowers submit once, compare financing options, and work with a team that handles structuring, negotiation, and closing coordination. Borrowers approve lender outreach, with no upfront fees and a broker fee paid only at closing.

Steady's answer:

• Designed for modern work by distributed work experts: Steady is the only tool purpose-built for modern, distributed work, created by a team with decades of experience in leading remote companies like Basecamp and GitLab.
• Contextualizes hard data with human data: Steady combines hard data with human-generated intentions and assessments, using AI to produce summaries about both what happened and what will happen.
• Adds structure to communication: Steady standardizes async communication into clear, structured plans, progress updates, and help requests, eliminating the need for costly synchronous meetings.
• Runs in the background: Steady works continuously, distilling plans and progress from tools, teams, and people into tailored summaries and insights while you sleep.
• Tells the future: Unlike other tools that only report on past events, Steady gathers human intentions to forecast what’s going to happen and allow teams and people to take proactive rather than reactive approaches to their work.
• It's an umbrella app, not an everything app: Steady integrates with existing tools, contextualizing their data without trying to replace them, focusing on data distillation and readership rather than meaningless "engagement" within a walled garden.
• AI value without requiring AI expertise: Steady’s AI features, like “Echos,” work in the background and on a schedule, providing value without requiring users to become prompt engineers.

Steady's answer:

Our Roots: Status Hero A few years ago, Steady founder and CEO Henry Poydar found himself running a large systems integration project at a public company, faced with the never-ending challenge of keeping a distributed team aligned amidst information overload. This led to the creation of Status Hero—an app designed to help teams stay on top of what matters without endless meetings. Despite its success, cross-team alignment remained an unsolved problem.

Steady Launches Determined to solve the challenges of modern work across multiple teams, Henry raised initial funding, assembled a team of distributed work experts, and built “Status Hero 2.0,” now known as Steady. Steady provides managers and contributors with personalized home screens, delivering the exact context they need without sacrificing valuable work time.

Continuous Coordination Steady is built on Continuous Coordination, a proven, open-source practice that prioritizes meaningful human collaboration and empowers teams. When you adopt Steady, you're implementing Continuous Coordination.

Leadership Led by founder Henry Poydar, the Steady team brings decades of experience from remote pioneers like GitLab and Basecamp. We use Steady every day to stay connected and work better together.
