About
We built Sutro because we were the ones copying and pasting.
June ran operations at a fast-growing distributor where every order passed through someone’s inbox. Felix built payment systems where a retry could mean paying twice. Both kept seeing the same thing: automation nobody could check, so nobody trusted it.
Sutro is built on one rule. An agent should show its work and ask before it acts.
The name
Why Sutro
Sutro Tower sits on the San Francisco skyline. We named the company after it because the work should be visible, too.
Founders
JO
CEO
June Okamura
June knows exactly how many tabs it takes to enter one order, because she used to be the person with all of them open.
FO
CTO
Felix Oyelaran
Felix built payment infrastructure, where every action had to be safe to retry. He still treats an unexplained action as a bug.
Team
Six people in San Francisco
Two founders, three engineers, and a designer. We work together in Dogpatch four days a week.
Principles
How we work
01
Show the work.
In the product and in the team. If we made a call, we can tell you why.
02
Ask before acting.
If the next step is unclear, Sutro waits. We do the same.
03
Stay small on purpose.
Everyone owns a real part of the product.
