Yes, that's the founder. No, the handstands are non-negotiable.
Janet Nowlin
Tech was never just a job. It was always the lens.
Twenty-five years in IT, programming, database architecture, and UX design, followed by fifteen years in education, then real estate, then running her own brokerage. On paper those look like three different careers. They were actually the same career with different scenery.
The through line was always the same question: why does this process work the way it does, and does it have to?
That principle, borrowed from systems design and lived out in every role, is the reason Sighthound Labs exists. When Janet got into real estate she found an industry full of cowpaths. Processes done the same way for decades, not because they worked well, but because nobody with the right technical background had ever been frustrated enough to fix them.
Then she got her own brokerage. The last excuse was gone.
So she built the tools herself. And then other brokers started asking where they could get them too.
