The Conifer founding team has been working on software products since they first got their hands on personal computers. Zach and Ryan approach software with a unique perspective: how can we use it to accelerate product validation, development, and overall organizational agility? Software is often the primary interaction point for a product, but it is also an incredibly powerful tool for prototyping, manufacturing, and scaling. In their professional careers, both Zach and Ryan have led multiple software projects and teams including computer vision applications, robotics, IoT infrastructure, and medical device development.
