True to the industry we serve, we love to travel, work hard, help others, and make the most of every day. We’re a global team of mountain bikers, surfers, parents, golfers, Star Wars fans, hikers, chefs, and football fans (both kinds!) who are connected by a #OneRevinate spirit. You might find us in California, Oregon, London, Singapore, Amsterdam, or Barcelona — or wherever the world takes us — working across time zones and countries to delight our customers as they delight their guests. Life on the inside is fast, fun, contemplative, energizing — a few of the words Revinators have used to describe the environment here. Come in and take a closer look at the our culture and how it unfolds! Pub quizzes, 3rd Thursday meet-ups, culture club, Olympics at the park, cookouts — there is a lot happening. Come in, take a look, and you will see us laughing, caring, arguing, too, at times. It’s hard to forget a Revinator when you have met one! What’s your passion? We’d love to bring it to our team. Want more details? Here are some numbers: —> 480 Revinators worldwide. —> 4 international offices, located in California, Oregon, Amsterdam, and Singapore. And we support people working remotely as well. —> 12,500+ worldwide implementations. We’d tell you about all the awards we won but we lost count. Awards like 4x Top Place to Work and 4x #1 CRM/Marketing product from HotelTechReport.

StrivePD, from the Strive Group, is a mobile and voice app designed with and for people with Parkinson's who strive to live fully. The concept for StrivePD grew out of personal experience. Cofounder Aura Oslapas has been living with PD for six years. Being highly sensitive to medications, she began to experience side effects early on, and found existing tools cumbersome and inadequate, or geared towards observational studies. Conversations with fellow PWPs and Movement Disorder Specialists confirmed her suspicion that many others could benefit from a better way to manage and learn from the interplay of symptoms, medications, side effects and other influences. This inspired her to create a patient-centric app that would make logging and tracking easy, and could generate personal insights that could also be shared with doctors, family, and other care givers. Knowledge is empowering. Self-empowerment keeps us striving.
