The idea of LOU came about when Rachel was helping her grandparents send a Happy Birthday message on Facebook to her Aunt Lou. She knew there had to be a better way to handle this tedious, but simple, task. At the time, she was participating in Babson’s Summer Catalyst Program where she teamed up with Kyle, and together, they found that this problem was a really common one with more complex SaaS platforms. These companies would spend weeks training their employees on how to use the platform. What started as an idea to help guide her grandparents through how to wish Aunt Lou a Happy Birthday on Facebook has turned into an enterprise software solution for large online business tool companies.
