A little about us
The calls that come in at the worst time. The customer waiting for a reply. The work that follows you home. We started mate@work to make the day-to-day a little easier.
More business. Less busy-ness.
What we’re here to do
Our mission
We build practical tools that help businesses answer customers, stay organized and keep moving. From an AI receptionist to websites and customer management, everything we make should earn its place in your day.
Our vision
We want capable, thoughtful technology to be within reach for businesses at every stage — so owners and teams can spend less time chasing the little things and more time doing the work they’re proud of.
The people behind the work
Christine spent years on the customer-facing side of a busy business. Rodrigo built the systems that help businesses run. Both saw how easily a good opportunity can slip past when nobody has time to answer.
That’s where mate@work began.
When I worked at a dental front desk, there was never just one thing happening. A patient would be checking in, someone else needed to reschedule, and the phone would ring again.
You wanted to give everyone your full attention. Some days, there simply weren’t enough hands.
Years later, as a mom of two, I understand that feeling in a different way. Time is precious, and there’s always something else asking for it.
That idea is what drew me to mate@work. Not technology for the sake of it — something genuinely useful, that makes a busy day feel a little more manageable and helps customers feel looked after.
I started teaching myself to build software in Peru in 2019. I was curious about what technology could do, and I spent every spare hour figuring things out — one website, course and late night at a time.
When my wife and I moved to Vancouver, finding work was harder than I’d expected. I sent applications and waited. Most of the time, I heard nothing.
Then someone posted in a WhatsApp group that a local print shop needed a developer.
I replied almost immediately.
That job gave me room to learn by doing. Over time, I built systems the business relied on every day — from ordering tools to the software behind its operations.
Working closely with business owners showed me something else: even excellent teams miss calls, messages and chances to connect because they’re busy doing the actual work.
Christine and I started mate@work because we knew there had to be a better way to handle those moments.
Why it matters
We’re building the tools we wish more businesses had: useful, straightforward, and made with real people in mind.
