A small team who’ve spent two decades fixing the offices they worked in.
Between us, we’ve been the office manager who ordered the wrong cable, the ops lead who got blamed for the double-booking, and the IT admin fielding “is this room free?” on Slack at 9:14 am, 9:22 am, and 9:41 am. That’s 20+ years of watching smart teams lose an hour a week to the same logistics nonsense — meetings that start late, rooms that aren’t really taken, displays that cost more than the laptops in them, and procurement processes longer than the workweek they’re meant to help.
So we built the thing we wished had existed. Lobby is a meeting room display that reads the calendar you already use, runs on hardware you can see a price for, and lets a non-engineer set up an entire office in under an hour. It’s opinionated about one job and uninterested in becoming a platform.
Things we believe
“Good software shouldn't need a procurement process.”
If an office manager can't try your product today, your product is too complicated for the people who need it most.
“One job, done well, beats ten jobs done okay.”
Lobby does meeting room displays. That's it. We're not your visitor management, your desk booking, or your badge printer — and we have no plans to be.
“Transparent pricing is a form of respect.”
If you can't tell whether you can afford the thing without booking a demo, we've already wasted your time.
“Offices aren't a startup's problem. Distractions are.”
Everything we build is in service of one outcome: your team spending the meeting in the meeting, not getting into it.
