Step01 / Propose
Someone proposes a real date.

The team
Built by operators who shipped products people actually use.
Decades of consumer product, design, and platform experience from Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Zoom, Google, and JPMC — applied to a category that has been coasting for fifteen years.
