Why we started North Meridian

Where we come from

We have both built software in fields where a mistake is costly: medical records, payments, systems that cannot go down.

What we kept seeing

At the small businesses we talked to, the same thing kept happening. People who were very good at their trade spent hours copying data from one program to another. They replied late to customers who had already written to a competitor. And they chased appointments by hand.

What we do

The tools to fix this have existed for years. We learn how each business works and build the specific piece it needs, inside the tools it already uses. We don’t sell it another platform to fill in on its own.

Who we are

There are two of us. Whoever you talk to on the first call is who builds what you will use, and who adjusts it afterwards.

  Mayda Morales Viera

  Co-founder · Engineering and product

  Digital product developer. She comes from building healthcare software, where mishandling a piece of data is not just another bug. That way of working — slow where it is delicate, fast everywhere else — is what she brings to North Meridian.

  Samuel Suárez Rodríguez

  Co-founder · Engineering and automation

  Software engineer. He comes from years of competitive programming, where a correct but slow solution scores the same as a wrong one. He builds interfaces and automates anything that has to be done twice.
