ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO
Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.
As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!
I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
