About us
Two childhood best friends.
For as long as we can remember, we've pushed each other to be better versions of ourselves.

Our story
Why we created Quota.
Always a challenge
One of us raises the bar. The other meets it.
Whatever one of us was working on, the other was right there pushing. Neither of us ever wanted to be the one who fell behind.

The problem
A daily quota, and no real way to track it.
We kept challenging each other to hit a number every day. The goal was never the hard part. Knowing the other one actually did it was.
So we built it
The tool we wanted and couldn't find.
A quota, proof to back it up, and a streak we hold together. Then we opened it up so anyone could do the same with their people.
100 pushups / day

Today
Still in the same group.
Ari is a student at Texas A&M. Justin works. Every night, both of us post our proof before midnight.
Every feature in Quota started as something one of us wanted in that group.
