🖤 Open Works #020 Everything We Built In 2024, Unwrapped!

Welcome to Open Works. Every edition (apart from this one which is a little special!) we solve a ‘people and culture’ problem crowd-sourced from the Open Org Community of 400+ Startup and Scale-up People Leaders.

🤲 Thank You!

As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to do something a little special for this edition. And we thought, what better way to wrap up 2024 than by sharing everything we’ve built and open-sourced together for the People community this year?

2024 marked our first year anniversary as a company. It’s been a roller-coaster, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

This is our chance to celebrate, reflect, and most importantly: say a huge thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🙏
