One of the co-founders of Kudoboard previously worked as a high school math teacher. At the end of the school year, he asked each student to write their name at the center of their own piece of paper and pass it around to the other students in the class.
Each student wrote a nice note to every other student in the class, and when students got their papers back they had a full sheet of compliments. The students were initially skeptical of the idea, but their thrilled reactions once they received their papers back highlighted the power of group appreciation and planted the seeds for Kudoboard!

Kudoboard has exactly what I look for in a company: a kind, respectful and flexible working culture and leadership team, a product that brings joy to its users, creative challenges in every role and the autonomy to solve them! I love the diverse amount of perspectives that comes with having coworkers living in different parts of the country - remote collaboration allows us to design a product for everyone and learn from one another.

Kudoboard has become the Insider Reviews team's default for birthday surprises — it's essentially a virtual bulletin board of messages, gifs, and photos for the lucky recipient.
You and your friends add messages, photos, and videos on a board until you're pleased with the content. Then you push a button to deliver the online board to the recipient.
