Engineers stop dreading week one.

Real teams, real metrics. Onboardr ships real outcomes — not vibes.

"By Wednesday of week one, my new hire shipped a real PR — not a typo fix. That was unthinkable a year ago."

Staff Engineer · Stripe

"Onboardr replaced a 60-page wiki nobody read. Now the codebase explains itself, and the wiki is obsolete."

Daniel Park
VP Eng · Linear

"It's the first AI tool that doesn't try to write the code for you. It teaches the codebase. That's the rare thing."

IJ
Imani Joseph
Tech Lead · Vercel

"Our ramp-up time dropped from 21 days to 4. We measured it across nine hires. Onboardr earned its keep in week one."
