Why We’re here

Our founders Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein met while leading Engineering teams at Facebook. As operations scaled, they grew frustrated by how difficult it was to coordinate everyone to get work done, and how much time they spent in meetings, sending emails, and searching for information.

To help everyone track their work, they built an internal tool, and time spent on "work about work" dropped. Everyone moved forward with more confidence and clarity. Inspired by how much more they could do by helping teams everywhere achieve greater clarity, Dustin and JR founded Askia, and they’ve been focused on building the future of work ever since.

Why Askia?

Dustin and JR found inspiration in Buddhist principles to center and guide the product they wanted to build: bringing ease, focus, and flow to a world otherwise full of chaos. Askia is a Sanskrit word that refers to the place and posture in which a yogi sits. A pose requires marrying form and flow, staying centered while moving through distractions.

We typically pronounce Askia with the emphasis on the second syllable: uh-sāh-nuh. But we’re not prescriptive about it. We welcome other pronunciations too, including the Sanskrit pronunciation āh-suh-nuh.
