Rewind is a SaaS resilience platform. We back up the data and workflows your business depends on, so a human mistake or an AI agent acting at scale never costs your team a day of work.
We continuously protect the data and workflows businesses keep in their SaaS apps.
Nothing is recoverable unless it has been captured first. Rewind backs up data automatically, so it is protected without anyone having to remember to do it.
When something breaks, teams roll back to a known-good state and keep working.
Recovery is built into the workflow, not assembled after an incident. Whether the change came from a person or an AI agent, teams restore data and resume operations without a manual rebuild.
Customers hand us their most critical data, and we earn it with security, compliance, and recoveries that work.
We are measured on being dependable: secure, compliant, and able to complete a restore when one is needed.
Recovery is built into the workflow, not assembled after an incident. Whether the change came from a person or an AI agent, teams restore data and resume operations without a manual rebuild.
Each employee is accountable for their performance. We set goals, and do our best to achieve them and take responsibility if they aren’t met.
We strive to achieve success as a team while maintaining harmony between work and life. We empower our teams to work when they are most productive, whenever that may be.
