An open letter to all who make up Onboard

From bootstrapped living room startup to nationally recognized and acquired company— the time has come for me to move on.

It simply wouldn’t feel right to close this personal chapter without extending my heartfelt gratitude to every human who has been a part of the journey.

To the hundreds of Onboard employees, both those who are there today and those who put in work with us previously along the path— thank you. For your hours spent, insights, and efforts in building something incredible.

To the many individuals who made up our vast network of investors, partners, providers, and clients— thank you. For your trust, partnership, business, and belief in the vision.

I wish I could personally thank each of you, face-to-face, for every genuine conversation and hour of honest work.

My journey would not have been possible without yours.
