Quip is real-time collaborative documents, spreadsheets, and chat embedded inside Salesforce to transform any business process.[1]
Quip was founded by Bret Taylor and Kevin Gibbs in 2012. Bret was co-creator of Google Maps, CTO of Facebook, and is responsible for Facebook’s “like” button. Kevin led engineering and product at Google, and brought Google App Engine to market. Quip raises $15M in series A from Benchmark Capital, and launches in mid-2013. Quip introduces Spreadsheets for teams, expanding productivity and collaboration beyond the document.[2]
Quip believes that we have a moral responsibility to help lead the fight for a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive tech industry. We acknowledge that this is a challenging and ever-changing area, and takes ongoing work. We believe that diverse and inclusive teams are essential to build the best product, to meet our business goals, and to create a work environment where people from all backgrounds can feel like they belong, which will ultimately make our entire team more successful. Quip has been actively teaching and educating team members on how to build a more anti-racist workplace through various methods:
- Hosting a book club on the book How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
- Creating a central repository to encourage folks to support organizations fighting racism and police brutality
- Developing a dos and don'ts messaging guide centered around racial equality
- Doing a virtual volunteering event by reading Anti-Racism Children's Book for the kids at UCSF[3]
