Our Story
My name is Vance Grissom. I used to be an early-stage venture capitalist, where I got to work with incredibly talented people building tech startups. Even the best of them would sometimes get bogged down by routine tasks that consumed precious time and energy.
But there was always one thing in common among the startups that were crushing it: these were lean teams that hyper-accelerated their growth by taking maximal advantage of smart automation. I partnered with some of the smartest people I know to build Guava out of that simple idea: helping people spend less time on repetitive tasks so they can focus on what really matters.
Work shouldn’t suck
The most routine tasks are rarely the life-giving ones, so we want to help you spend the least amount of time possible on them. Make work about the time you’re in the zone, not about procrastinating from the boring stuff.
What We Believe
You control your day
We keep you firmly in the driver’s seat, because we believe deeply that bottoms-up automation will always outperform dangerous top-down attempts. This extends to both control and privacy - you should be the one to decide what parts of your workday get analyzed or automated, not anyone else.
Your time is all that matters
Your time is the ultimate finite resource. We’re on a mission to help you reclaim it. That’s why we don’t charge if we don’t save you time - we’re here to make a difference, not a quick buck.
