// 05 — Manifesto
We believe good products are built, not decorated. Fewer features, done properly, will always beat a long roadmap done halfway.
Etch started in 2016 as two people sharing a desk in Lisbon. Nine years and 120+ products later, the rule hasn’t changed: we only take on work we can do properly.
