I started Ando because hourly work is the backbone of so many businesses, but the way we schedule and staff people has barely changed in decades. Managers are still piecing together shifts with spreadsheets and texts, and workers are left with hours that change week to week.

That is not good for anyone.

Advances in AI now make it possible to understand demand patterns with high accuracy and support scheduling decisions that used to require guesswork. LLM driven, agentic systems can support both workers and businesses with clearer decisions and more stability.

We are building Ando to help teams match staffing to real demand and to give hourly workers schedules for which they can depend. It means fewer last minute scrambles for businesses and more steady hours for people.

I am excited to share that we have formed an advisory group to help us on this journey. These leaders have built great companies, scaled important technology, and helped shape the future of work. I am grateful for their time and guidance.

Grateful to partner with:
