Introduction
The best teams
I've always been fascinated by what makes certain companies truly exceptional. When you look at any groundbreaking achievement in business or sports, you'll find the answer is: they had the best team.
Google built the best search engine not because of PageRank but because Larry Page and Sergey Brin assembled a team of brilliant engineers who shared their vision of organizing the world's information.
The NY Yankees’ dynasties—yes, plural, they had five—weren’t built on star power alone but on a carefully crafted roster where every player lifted up those around them. Even if you’re not a baseball fan (I’m not), you’ve heard the names Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Yogi Berra, and not in isolation.
These teams were magic because they brought together exceptional people who made each other better.
After meeting Scribe's team, I've never been more confident in a company's chances of success. Our co-founders, Jennifer Smith and Aaron Podolny, and our head of Marketing and Growth, Nick Churcher, have recruited an insanely high caliber team of bar raisers—not just in terms of raw talent (though there's an intimidating amount of that), but also in terms of everyone’s genuine humility and motivation to win together.
The mission
I was as compelled to join the team as I was motivated by Scribe’s mission to uplevel how people do work. Because here's the truth: companies are only as good as their people's ability to do great work.
Our CEO, Jennifer, explains it best: "Imagine you could automatically pull the best of what everyone knows how to do and make it available to everyone else on the team. That's what Scribe does."
Her idea is built on a profound insight about modern work: at most companies, knowledge exists in silos, passed down through informal channels and oral tradition. Oral tradition. In 2025. And it walks out the door when employees move on. The result? Pervasive mediocrity—with a handful of superstars whom everyone pings for help, constantly. Which does what no company leader wants: pull down the superstars rather than lift up the team.
The end of mediocrity
This horrible problem that's been hiding in plain sight?
It's been entirely solved.
Scribe’s platform lets companies capture the brilliance of their best people and make it instantly available to everyone else. This empowers every employee to be exceptional. Which lets them deliver the best customer outcomes. Which propels the business forward.
If you are a team leader or executive reading this, pause to consider:
What if every single one of your employees were exceptional?
At Scribe, everyone is—not just because we built the best team, but also because we use our own platform to make everyone’s knowledge instantly available to everyone else, and we were one of the first companies to use generative AI to make knowledge sharing even faster and easier. Everyone is at peak efficiency. Everyone is at peak productivity. Everyone is making everyone better. It’s pretty heady.
We're not alone in seeing this potential. I joined Scribe to put this product in the hands of every company or team that wants to be exceptional. We’re already helping over 3 million people across 450,000 companies uplevel their work—from startups to over 97% of the Fortune 100. New York Life, Intel, LinkedIn, Gong, T-Mobile, Northern Trust, Hubspot, and so many more depend on Scribe.
The choice to be exceptional
I wouldn’t be a marketer if I didn’t end with a call to action. So, here it is:
If you lead a team → get in touch with Scribe today.
If you’re a superstar on a mediocre team → create a Scribe immediately.
(It will take you seconds, give you hours of your life back, and make everyone else better.)
And if you want to help us uplevel how people do work → join us—we’re hiring!
And if none of what I've said speaks to you, listen to Jennifer for 45 seconds:
