In their words

Modus helps companies hire and retain only the people they need instead of becoming bloated messes. Modus connects your HRIS, ATS, and analyzes extensive data across your organization so leaders can detect, inspect, and correct their workforce plans - without relying on spreadsheets or complex systems. Lin experienced these challenges firsthand as a VP BizOps at HashiCorp, scaling from 100 employees to IPO, while Chris and Amar faced similar issues scaling 40+ person teams as a fractional CTO. They’re motivated by the belief that companies should have the least number of employees possible.
