Atomic Squirrel


Launch and scale your startup

Atomic Squirrel is now Gruntwork!


In 2015, I launched Atomic Squirrel to try to make it easier to build a startup. Along the way, I met Josh Padnick, who was trying to solve the same problem at his company, Phoenix DevOps. Our companies began working together and after many months and many happy clients, I’m happy to announce that we are now officially joining forces at a single new company called Gruntwork!
