Current Projects
LifePath Project
Life Path is an innovative program designed to help teen boys in underserved communities discover their purpose and stay away from gangs. By offering them a monthly allowance of credits, participants can access a wide range of activities—like surfing, painting, snowboarding, and music—that they might not otherwise experience. We're currently working on partnerships with ride-sharing services to provide transportation, addressing a key barrier to participation. In the future, Life Path will also incorporate a mentorship component and AI-driven recommendations to further expand opportunities and provide a tailored, experience-first journey for each participant.

BondFire is our audio-first mobile app that fosters a sense of connectedness and community through the power of anonymous storytelling. Users are invited to respond to prompts across various categories, sharing their stories in a safe, non-judgmental space. We're currently testing BondFire to gauge its impact on users’ feelings of connection and belonging, and to explore how this unique approach to storytelling can bring people closer together.

Past Projects
Transforming the My Account Experience at LegalZoom
At Griselda Labs, we believe in creating solutions that not only solve problems but also enhance the customer experience in meaningful ways. When we were engaged to revamp the My Account section at LegalZoom, we faced a significant challenge: the existing My Account area was limited to basic functions like updating usernames and passwords, offering little transparency or control to the user. This led to a high volume of customer support calls, as clients were left in the dark about their orders and how to manage them. We took a deep dive into the issue, analyzing over 50 workflows across various products and collaborating closely with operations, customer support, success managers, and attorney services to understand their needs. We also worked hand-in-hand with LegalZoomās technology teams to integrate the necessary back-end systems. The result was a fully reimagined My Account area featuring an Order Status page that provided real-time updates on orders, the ability to fix issues directly within the account, and a document center offering digital versions of products. This overhaul not only reduced customer support calls significantly but also introduced new revenue streams, saving LegalZoom over $450,000 annually and generating an additional $100,000 in monthly profit through features like optional shipping. Our work on this project recuperated $5 million per year through self-service features, making it a resounding success for LegalZoom and its customers.

Agile Transformation and Cost Optimization at the SBA
When the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) needed digital experts to bridge the gap between government employees and contractors, Griselda Labs stepped in to deliver impactful results. We were brought on board not just to review contracts but to serve as Agile coaches and liaisons, ensuring a smooth and efficient collaboration between all parties involved. Through our meticulous review process, we identified and eliminated unnecessary services, saving the agency hundreds of thousands of dollars. But our impact didnāt stop there. We also led the Agile transformation for two Scrum teams, which included both career employees and contractors. By setting up Agile ceremonies, leading story-writing exercises, and configuring Jira instances, we were able to foster a culture of collaboration and efficiency. The result was a more effective, cohesive team that delivered higher-quality work while significantly reducing costs. Our efforts not only optimized the workflow but also created a more positive and productive environment for everyone involved.

Innovating HR Solutions at Bambee
At Bambee, Griselda Labs was instrumental in addressing two significant challenges that were impacting customer satisfaction and business efficiency. The first challenge involved the misuse of the companyās HR manager service, where customers would front-load all their questions and then cancel their subscriptions, overwhelming HR managers and disrupting service for ongoing clients. To resolve this, we introduced a credit-based system that limited the number of inquiries a customer could make each month, with options to purchase additional credits or upgrade plans as needed. We tested this approach rigorously to ensure it wouldnāt negatively impact customer retention, and upon seeing minimal churn, we rolled it out company-wide. The new system not only balanced the workload for HR managers but also opened new revenue streams, allowing Bambee to better serve both new and existing customers. In another project at Bambee, we identified a gap in the market: small business owners without employees who needed HR guidance to avoid costly mistakes. We developed the āAmerican Plan,ā a new offering specifically tailored to these entrepreneurs. Leading the initiative from concept to execution, we created targeted landing pages, marketing campaigns, and system updates to support this new product. The result was a significant new revenue stream for Bambee, tapping into a previously unserved market segment and reinforcing our belief in the power of innovative, customer-centric solutions.

Enhancing Customer Onboarding and Training at ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan, a leading provider of software for tradespeople, faced a critical issue: new customers were struggling to onboard effectively due to a lack of accessible training content. This led to a surge in support tickets and frustrated onboarding specialists who were overwhelmed by the volume of inquiries. Griselda Labs was tasked with addressing this problem using technology. We began by conducting in-depth interviews with customers and analyzing support tickets to pinpoint the areas of confusion. Based on our findings, we implemented A/B tests that integrated training video content directly within the app, providing context-sensitive guidance to users as they navigated the platform. This small yet strategic investment not only reduced support tickets by 18% but also enhanced customer satisfaction. The success of this initiative led to the implementation of a new learning management system with API capabilities, allowing for role-based training, progress tracking, and certification. The result was a smoother onboarding process, happier customers, and more supported trainersāan all-around win for ServiceTitan.
