About Us
We knew there had to be a better way to document processes and learn on the job, so we built it.
Tango is a browser extension and desktop application that creates how-to guides with screenshots, in seconds. It’s best for people who:
Need to teach and learn new software
Wish step-by-step guidance could take place asynchronously, in the flow of work
Believe in the power of the right answers, in the right place, at the right time
As a product-led series A startup, Tango powers processes for 250,000+ team members at companies like IBM, Salesforce, and Verizon. We’re backed by leading venture capital firms, including Tiger Global, Slack Fund, Salesforce Ventures, Atlassian Ventures, Wing VC, General Catalyst, and GSV Ventures. And we’re growing fast.
We envision a world where working and learning happen in tandem. Where how-to guides are easier to make and faster to follow. Where procedural knowledge and personal insights live side by side. And where each of us spends less time searching for answers and more time improving our craft.
That’s the future we’re building. Come build it with us.
