Founder story
Founded in 2021 by Jon Darbyshire in Newport Beach, California. Jon, a software veteran who previously founded and exited Archer Technologies to RSA for over $200M, saw that existing tools were still too fragmented. He built SmartSuite to be the 'last software platform a company ever needs to buy'.
