About
About Better Software
Better Software is a product engineering company, part of Better. We build software for owners and founders who already understand the problem.
30 minutes about the business and what you want to improve.
Who we work with
You know the business. You see what could work better.
Improving a business you already run
You want to serve customers better, make the work easier for your team or support the next stage of the business. We work through where software can help, including what your existing systems should continue to do.
Building something your industry needs
You have seen the problem firsthand and have a view of what should exist. We help turn that experience into a product, testing the assumptions with the people who would use it.
You bring the experience and judgment of the business. We bring product and engineering judgment, and take the time to understand the work with you. The product takes shape through that exchange.
Web applications, mobile apps, AI-powered products, SaaS platforms and internal tools, across healthcare, energy, finance, commerce, facilities, agriculture and other fields.

Helped build platforms contributing to $100M+ cumulative revenue. Leading a 40+ team of engineers and product builders.

Better Software Team
Better Software Team
Better Software Team is the product and engineering team at Better Software. We build custom software for established businesses in healthcare, energy and finance.
How we work
Understand the business. Build with the people in it.
Understand what should improve
We look at who the change is for, how the work happens today and what a useful result would mean. That includes customer experience, staff workload and the economics of the business.
Build a useful first version
We choose a scope that can be tested in practice, with the necessary integrations and operating responsibilities understood. The first version should answer a real question about whether the approach works.
Stay close as it is used
We review what happens with the people using the software, address what gets in their way and decide what to improve next.
We work as a pod: a product manager covering design works through priorities and usable workflows with you, and two engineers build, integrate, test, and review the software.
