Team
Ownership for the people who build this country
Phantom stock and profit sharing have kept the best people at the best companies for decades. They were just never built for a plumbing company with twelve trucks.
We are technologists from families that own small businesses. We have built a company, sold it, and watched the people who actually run businesses like ours get left out of the upside. Reins is how we fix that: a valuation an owner can stand behind, incentives that follow it, and a team that stays.
We are building a dynasty, not a season. That means doing more with less, asking the difficult questions respectfully, and putting the product first. It is how we work with each other, and it is how we work with you.
Mission
Giving millions of small business employees a reason to stay
Vision
Enable new forms of liquidity for millions of small business owners
