Our Philosophy

Software should stay simple as your team grows

Most help desk software tries to do everything. It adds AI chatbots, sales pipelines, knowledge bases with gamification, and analytics dashboards that nobody reads. Every year the feature list grows and the product gets harder to use.

We took the opposite path. SupportBee does one thing: it turns customer emails into organized tickets that your team can assign, discuss, and resolve together. It feels like email because it is email, with collaboration built in.

We have been building SupportBee since 2011. We are bootstrapped and profitable. We do not have investors pushing us to add features you do not need or raise prices to hit growth targets. We answer to our customers, not a board.

Hana Mohan

Founder & CEO

Hana started SupportBee after running Muziboo, a music community with over 500,000 members. She used Gmail to handle customer support and hit the same wall every growing team hits: emails getting missed, duplicate replies, no accountability. She built the tool she wished existed.

Before SupportBee, Hana studied at IIT Guwahati. She went on to co-found MagicBell (YC W21), becoming the first openly transgender woman to go through Y Combinator.

She is based in Barcelona and writes about entrepreneurship, bootstrapping, and building inclusive companies on her blog.
