Today we're announcing Parafoil—a science-backed, AI-powered tool designed to help managers rapidly improve their performance. Whether you're balancing management duties with IC work, gauging your team's stress and burnout levels, or refining your leadership style and presence, Parafoil provides practical, actionable advice to help you lead better and advance faster.
Unlock Your Leadership Potential with Parafoil
Starting your first day as a people manager often comes with little support. You might get "management training"—classroom sessions led by those unfamiliar with your business, filled with frameworks and awkward role plays. But we know real leadership isn't about just being knowledgeable; it's about understanding how you're perceived, showing up authentically, and seeking feedback for continuous improvement. Many struggle with imposter syndrome, unsure who to trust for honest feedback, or question if their IC skills translate to managing people effectively. In fact, 82% of people who step into management have had no formal management and leadership training, despite having good intentions and a desire to excel.
Informed by dozens of conversations with newly-minted managers, and built on decades of experience working with some of the world's greatest business leaders, Parafoil is designed from the ground up to support your journey toward becoming the leader you aspire to be.
