Hi—we're Brett and David.
We're brothers and the founders of Remind and Omella. For nearly 20 years, our work has centered on helping schools and districts operate more effectively, save staff time, and stay connected to the people they serve.
There is no 500-person company or handoff to a faceless account team here. We are deeply involved in the product, implementation, and customer service. When you ask a question, you can expect us to answer—and your district will help shape what we build next.
