Our team met at ExpressVPN when it had just over 100 people. The first IT hire had just started, and HR was still handing out laptops.
Over the next few years we helped scale it to 1,000+ employees across 7 offices. Along the way we turned IT from a pile of manual tasks into a system that ran itself. New hires had the right apps and access on day one, and people who left lost that access the day they left.
People noticed. Founders, CEOs and investors wanted the same setup, whether they had 15 employees or 500. But when they went looking, they hit a wall. The tools that could do it were built for large enterprises. They were too complex to set up, too expensive to justify, and out of reach for any company without a full IT team.
That didn’t seem right to us. How well a company runs its IT shouldn’t depend on how big it is.
Now AI is changing how companies work and how they think about software. The repeatable, learnable jobs that used to eat up an admin’s week are exactly the ones that can be automated, and IT is full of them: setting up new hires, granting and removing access, checking who can see what.
ShiftControl was built to do that work for you. It sits on top of Google Workspace and manages every employee’s access from day one to day done, so your team can focus on the work that grows the business.
Our mission: make it easy for any company to set up every employee with the right apps, the right access and the right controls, without the hassle.
We see a world where best-practice IT is a standard for every business, whatever its size.
