Counterpart

Three years, three Huddles. Our team was back on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium for Gleaners' Huddle Against Hunger, presented by the Indianapolis Colts. Games on the 50-yard line, Clayton Anderson performing, and the locker room experience everyone's still talking about.

Everyone on our team tried a field goal. Andy, one of our guests, was the only one who made it. Andy, we see you.

Every dollar raised goes to buying food. Thanks for having us, Gleaners. We'll be back next year.

☕ Happy International Coffee Day! We take coffee seriously around here. Seriously enough to build a game around it.

Every other Friday, Coffee Club takes over a different local coffee shop. It's our standing excuse to work side by side, swap ideas, and trade pastry recommendations. No RSVP required.

Then there's Coffee Bean-Go. Every visit gets you a number on your card. Fill a row, column, or diagonal, and you win a prize. We've called a few bingos so far, and now we're playing on bigger 5x5 cards. No one has won one yet, and the competition is heating up.

Where's your go-to coffee spot? Drop it below. We might need it for our next Coffee Club. 👇

Ever had software make you click through five screens to do one small thing? We think about that stuff a lot.

Our September Tech Talk is all about quality of life: the little fixes that make a workday smoother. Like a payment page one client told us saves them up to an hour a day, or an import that finally takes spreadsheets the way they actually come in.

They rarely make the highlight reel, and people are quietly grateful for them.

Happy Women in Tech Week 💙

Women are launching bold ideas and leading meaningful change every day, and the right technology helps carry those ideas forward.

We see it right here at home, too. The women on our team at Counterpart design, build, test, and lead the work, and Counterpart wouldn't be Counterpart without them.

Here's to them, and to every woman in tech building something that matters.

How do you measure something as human as workplace culture?

That was the challenge Brennan Burns brought to us. His Radical Appreciation methodology helps organizations understand how their people really show up at work, and he needed custom software to run it end-to-end.

So we built the platform behind it: adaptive assessments and a baseball-card-style Radical Profile that every participant keeps and coworkers collect. "Come as you are," brought to life in software.

We're always up for a trip back to the classroom. JT, Aaron, and Jason spent time with the computer science students at Hamilton Southeastern High School, answering the questions they'd sent our way about coding, careers, and life as a software developer.

It's a visit we look forward to every year. Thanks to Julie Alano and her students for having us; they asked great questions, and the future of tech looks bright. 💙

Say hello to the newest member of the Counterpart team, Aaron Fan! 👋

Aaron joined us this summer in a dual role across quality assurance and development, and he's already jumping into client projects with the team. We can't wait to see everything he builds (and, in the best QA way, everything he breaks) around here.

Welcome to the team, Aaron. This hire? Definitely a feature, not a bug.

We'll be at the Indy Chamber's first Opportunity Exchange, and if you're looking to win more contracts in Central Indiana, you should be too.

It's Thursday, September 10, from 12-3 PM at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. You'll hear directly from procurement leaders at Salesforce, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the Indianapolis Airport Authority, and more about what they look for in a bid, connect with organizations that help businesses qualify for new contracting opportunities, and meet decision-makers from across the region.

it's a straightforward way to meet the people making the buying calls.

Second place AGAIN! 🥈🏈 We’re nothing if not consistent.

Hannah, JT, Steve, Ian, and Sophie represented Team Counterpart at the second annual Colts Trivia Night and managed to bring home second place for the second year in a row!

Of course, the best part of the night was getting together for some friendly competition while supporting the Fight for Life Foundation and the incredible work they do in our community.

Thanks to Marlin Jackson and the Fight for Life Foundation for another fun night. We had a blast, and we’re already brushing up on our Colts trivia for next year. 💙

What does it actually look like to work with a custom software partner?

Every Counterpart project starts the same way: by understanding the people, processes, and challenges behind it before we talk about technology.

From discovery and planning to design, development, testing, and long-term support, we’ve built a process that helps organizations tackle complex challenges with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens between the first conversation and a successful software launch, we put together a behind-the-scenes look at how a Counterpart project works.
