(Pitch) Practice Makes Perfect
As we meet with new pilot testers and make introductions with venture funds, another thing we like to squeeze in is the chance to get our product in front of fellow entrepreneurs in the Portland area! So without further ado, we’re excited about the opportunity to present at the August Demolicious Pitch Competition! If you’d like to see us pitch, the event will be held at the westside UpStart Collective location on Thursday, August 14th.

Last week we celebrated our first month as a team of seven! We played games together and prioritized our future product roadmap. So for this newsletter, we are honored to introduce April Sky, our talented UX Designer! April has been hard at work giving our marketing site and enterprise product the polished look and feel that it deserves to ensure that it is accessible, navigable, and delightful to use!
In the latest edition of 5 Questions, April shares about her passion for design, her desire for growth and finding her community at work. Read more below:
To me, community means being part of a space where people genuinely care for and support one another. It's about collaboration, sharing constructive feedback, and building a positive, friendly environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

Branding

As we narrowed down concepts that visually represent the sweet and rewarding side of work culture, the new Conello logo is meant to evoke references similar to the top of a cupcake or the swirl of a lollipop. With each layer, new joy is revealed. Conello– the sweetest way to bring teams together!
Dashboard

The Conello admin dashboard is live! It surfaces data that matters most to HR and people leaders. From being able to view engagement trends to common skills and interests, we are excited about the foundation that pilot testers will soon get hands-on experience with!
Surveys
This month we’re switching gears to developing our surveys feature, a core Conello component. We believe it’s important to measure culture improvements and continue to seek valuable employee feedback as new engagement tools are put into practice. Starting with two templates for satisfaction check-ins and event RSVPs, this tool will provide HR with additional insight into employee wellness and engagement. You can also expect these features to coincide with future enhancements to our admin dashboard– people leaders will be able to track responses and culture trends over time!
