What We Do

We’re the team behind Spidergap and AirManual — both highly rated B2B SaaS products. Our latest project, Ukoru, aims to revolutionize how businesses manage people.

Ukoru

Ukoru is being developed to help:

– Employees receive feedback and grow personally
– Teams build effective, low-stress processes

We’re currently prototyping and iterating quickly with feedback from hundreds of our existing customers.

Our engineering team is working in a greenfield environment, using modern technologies like NestJS, Tanstack Start, Tiptap, Hocuspocus, and OpenAI — free from legacy constraints.

Spidergap

Spidergap is a 360° Feedback tool used to collect feedback from colleagues, managers, and direct reports.

We’ve been the top-rated 360° Feedback tool since 2017 by:

– Creating an innovative feedback report that’s easy to understand
– Offering a highly customizable platform
– Delivering exceptional customer support

Spidergap is used in over 134 countries by thousands of organizations, including Samsung, 3M, Sony, the NHS, the European Commission, Breville, Konica Minolta, and Philips.

AirManual

Launched in 2020, AirManual helps businesses scale without constant stress. It provides tools for documenting and automating processes, team collaboration, and business health reviews.

We support over 100 businesses, including Asahi Beer, with strong traction in the accountancy sector. Like Spidergap, AirManual consistently receives outstanding reviews.

We plan to integrate AirManual’s strengths into Ukoru.
