Our mobile application helps students communicate with each other in a modern and exciting way. We are creating a group chat experience that combines fun interactions, security and structurizing group chat features. We will be starting from US markets and currently we are gathering attention among Gen Z all over the nation. We are building Lowkey on two fundamental beliefs: *Fast execution.* We make product decisions together as a team, build them fast and roll them out as soon as possible. This allows us to learn from real users, reiterate and launch quickly again. We aren't afraid of making mistakes. *Autonomous squads.* They have end-to-end responsibility for the system they support, starting with design up to maintenance and operations. Autonomy aims to have faster decisions because they are made locally instead of through management or alignment events.
