Tempo Labs
Tempo is an AI-powered visual editor for React that enables designers, product managers, and engineers to collaborate directly on production code, bridging the gap between design and development to eliminate handoff inefficiencies and accelerate product development.
Founding Story
Founded by Kevin Michael and Peter Gokhshteyn, who previously built Perpetua together (exited for $150M). They recognized the inefficiencies in the design-to-development handoff process and envisioned creating a unified workspace where design and code 'speak the same language,' allowing cross-functional teams to collaborate visually on production codebases rather than creating throwaway prototypes.
