Our
Mission
Every day, employees witness shifting market dynamics, identify process inefficiencies, and recognize emerging opportunities—but this critical intelligence often remains trapped at operational levels.
Our mission is to unlock the strategic intelligence hidden within organizations by systematically capturing and analyzing the workforce insights that never reach leadership.
​
We set out to TRANSFORM EMPLOYEE INSIGHTS INTO A STRATEGIC COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, equipping leaders to prevent crises before they emerge and capitalize on breakthrough opportunities that competitors miss.
While running our own successful businesses we found that there was no better way to proactively prevent crises, and to take advantage of hidden opportunities, than to ask the frontline what they know about the business.
We asked ourselves, WHAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN COMPANIES TRANSFROM THEIR WORKFORCE INTO A STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE ENGINE? That question led to years of research, development, breakthrough AI capabilities, and ultimately, Blyndspot.

Josh and John have both run several companies of their own. Whenever they got together and talked shop, the same question kept surfacing: “How did we miss that?” Whether it was a negative event that put the business at risk, or a missed opportunity for growth, early intelligence on critical insights was hard to come by.
The frustrating part? They both knew someone at the company had to have known. The problem is that these hidden risks and opportunities just weren’t making it to the top, where high-level decisions could have made a huge difference.

Maybe it was fear, or the management hierarchy getting in the way, or just the sense that no one was listening—but transparent sharing from the workforce was rare.
There had to be a better way. That’s when Lyssin was born.
​
Lyssin isn’t just another tool—it’s the solution to a problem every company suffers from. A way to cut through the silence and unlock the collective intelligence of an entire organization. It’s the bridge between the people who live and breathe the business every day and the decision-makers who can turn those hidden insights into actionable strategies—strategies that supercharge performance.
For Josh and John, it isn’t about building another company. It’s about transforming the way businesses listen and learn from their people. And that’s a story Lyssin is writing, one employee insight at a time.
Situated in the heart of the Pacific Northwest's dynamic tech landscape, Lyssin operates from offices in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA
