Retrograde’s Story
One day, Jake’s friend Ally lost a $50k brand deal with a huge company. All because Ally’s talent agent didn’t reply to the brand email for four days. When Jake heard about this he was angry and upset for Ally. This wasn’t the first time one of Jake’s creator friends had been let down by a talent agent. Jake decided to build an app that would monitor Ally’s email inbox and text her updates. Soon Ally’s friends started asking to use it, and suggesting things to add to the app. That’s when Jake called Grace (a very smart business woman + content creator) & Gary (a very smart software engineer) and asked them to help him turn his little app into a company. And that’s how Retrograde was born. Now our mission is to make sure no creator is ever let down by not having the right support again.
