Our founding team

How we work 🏆

Clarity drives speed

Say what you mean. Make decisions visible.

Direct, because we care

Give direct feedback early. Don't let small issues grow.

Craft is the product

We build things that actually work. Edge cases aren't edge—they're the job.

Own outcomes, not tasks

Real responsibility, real autonomy. Small teams do big things when trust is high.

Tightrope makes computer-use AI reliable enough for the systems businesses actually run on.

Our founding team has spent years building and scaling auth and data platform infrastructure at category-defining companies — Tara as head of integration platform at Merge, Alex as a founding engineer & EM at Stytch.

We spent months talking to companies across healthcare, logistics, insurance, and finance. Different verticals, same wall: critical data locked in systems that will never have APIs.

Browser-based AI changed what's possible. We're building the platform that makes it reliable enough for production.
