Keeping Up with Hardal

We're a transparent company, which means there's a lot you can follow - both inside and outside Hardal. This page is your guide to staying informed without needing to attend every meeting.

What happens inside

Weekly Hardal sync (Mondays)

Every Monday, we have a brief team sync - what shipped, what's new, what's next.

Investor updates

We share monthly investor updates. A version is also shared with the team. You should know how the company is doing.

Here's what our updates look like:

For a daily, short-lived topic - a launch, an incident, a one-off coordination - open a #temp- channel instead of DMing someone. DMs get stuck with just the people already in the thread, and they interrupt like a notification meant just for you. A channel doesn't.

Archive the channel once the topic is resolved, or drop the #temp- prefix if it turns out to be an ongoing need.

What happens publicly

Open dashboard

Our real-time open dashboard lives at usehardal.com/open. ARR, active customers, team size, growth trends. Public by design - transparency keeps us accountable and helps customers and partners understand who they're working with.
