About Us

We built Cipherio because watching distributed teams struggle broke our hearts. You've got brilliant people spread across different time zones, different continents sometimes, and they're drowning in Slack messages and calendar hell. We've been there. So we created a platform that doesn't pretend remote work is just office work with worse lighting. It's different. Better, honestly. Our 47 clients aren't using us because they have to — they're using us because their teams actually collaborate now instead of just existing in separate boxes.

Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

Our Mission

Cut through the noise. Give remote teams the tools to work together without the bureaucracy. We're here to make async work feel natural, not like you're always playing catch-up. Real communication. Real progress. No more meetings that could've been emails.

Our Vision

A world where distance doesn't mean disconnection. Where a team in Cluj can brainstorm with one in Austin without anyone feeling left out or overloaded. We're building toward work that doesn't exhaust people — it energizes them.

Our Story

Started in 2019 when three of us got tired of managing remote teams with broken tools. We spent 18 months just listening to what people actually needed. Not what vendors said they needed. What they actually needed. Launched our MVP to 8 companies, learned fast, broke things, fixed things. Now we're working with teams across 23 countries, and honestly? We're just getting started. The feedback we get keeps us sharp.

Our Story

Our Core Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Brutal Honesty

We don't sugarcoat. If something isn't working, we tell you. And we expect the same from our users. That's how you build something real.

Speed Matters

Slow tools kill momentum. We obsess over milliseconds and workflow efficiency because your team's time is worth more than ours ever will be.

Human First

Tech serves people, not the other way around. We design for real humans with real lives — not hypothetical users in some product spec.

Async by Default

Not everyone works 9 to 5 in the same timezone. We build assuming people are asynchronous, not forcing synchronous nonsense.
