Kimono Labs
I spent the summer of 2014 as an MBA Intern at Kimono Labs, a startup fresh out of Y Combinator doing very exciting things in the world of APIs.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of instructions a website gives to output its data in a structured manner, for example, the Facebook app looking a lot like Facebook on the web with all of the content present. An API makes this possible. Kimono is a tool that launches a browser extension and allows users to curate their own API from any website.
I worked as a growth strategist, engaged in researching the company's largest user segments and developing
a tool that would ultimately grow the user base by offering a solution to a problem these individuals experienced in their day-to-day workflow.
My time with the company began in San Francisco and unexpectedly relocated to Tokyo for six weeks -
an experiment that was later covered in an article by Fast Company .
