Founding Story
It all started at the dinner table...
Shani Dowell, Possip’s Founder and CEO, has led people-focused organizations across business, education, and nonprofit sectors. As a teacher and leader, she saw the barriers preventing students, families, and staff from sharing their needs—logistical challenges like time, language, and access, alongside cultural barriers like trust and fear.
One evening, a challenge between a parent and teacher landed at her dinner table. What started as a minor issue had grown into stress for everyone involved. Shani thought, There has to be a better way—what if people could easily share their needs before they became big problems?
Inspired by the teaching concept of an “exit ticket,” she envisioned a quick, simple way for communities to reflect and share feedback regularly. Leaders, in turn, would receive actionable insights—rich in both data and commentary—to guide decisions and strengthen connections.
Founded in 2017, Possip now serves over 1,300 organizations and amplifies the voices of more than a million people. By making listening routine, accessible, and actionable, leaders can build organizations where everyone thrives.
