What is Ready?

Ready is the first calendar designed to solve the meeting problem. It stops them from crowding your day and makes the ones you have worth their weight.

We're building Ready because for some wild reason, someone decided calendars should be designed to jam our days full of meetings, most of which are kinda useless.

We don’t need calendars to book more meetings. We need less of them, and the ones we do have should be an awesome use of time.

It’s time for a new calendar. So we're building it — a calendar that results in fewer meetings, more focus, and better collaboration with your team.

What's it like to work at Ready?

We believe building a world changing company doesn't have to come at the expense of your personal freedom and enjoyment. We’re remote, so you can work from anywhere in the world. Most days we try to find some time together between 10AM - 2PM EST, but outside of that, we work on our own time.

Here are our values. If these click for you, it’s a good chance Ready is the place for you:

• Iterate Always: We constantly seek feedback, never get attached to our ideas, and always refine our creations.
• Build Trust: We are transparent even when it's hard and believe in each other.
• Optimize our Domains: We operate with autonomy, support each other when we're struggling, and treat feedback as non-binding.
• Hone our Craft: We push ourselves to the edge of our abilities, seek new challenges, and never stop growing.
• Enjoy: We make this experience joyful for ourselves, colleagues, customers, and everyone else who touches Ready
