Our story

Where we came from

Our work spans enterprise software at Microsoft, a robotics planning business we founded and sold, and autonomous inspection for utilities. We brought that experience together in BaseState to connect the work in the field with the decisions that follow.

How we work

People. Process. Product.

Start with the people doing the work. Understand their process. Then build the product that helps.

  1. People first

    Listen to the people doing the work. Respect their expertise and make it safe to question what is wrong.

  2. Process second

    Understand how the work moves. Improve the process before asking people to work harder or adding another tool.

  3. Product third

    Build around the people and the process. Judge the product by the difference it makes to their work.
