LFW
Let's f***ing win
We play to win — for our customers first — and we say it out loud.
Yes, in client meetings. No complaints so far.
ABOUT UPLIFTOS
Two decades of building
enterprise software. One conclusion.
After 20 years of building software companies, we watched every organization we worked with drown in vendor contracts, redundant tools, and hostage pricing. So we built a platform that lets them own their entire stack instead.
MISSION
Replace vendor sprawl with software you own.
Most enterprises run on 400+ SaaS vendors with overlapping features, redundant costs, and zero data portability. UpliftOS is a self-improving platform that builds, runs, secures, and maintains your entire software stack — with compliance, security operations, and continuous improvement guaranteed.
FOUNDERS
Two decades of partnership. Three companies. One vision.
Mark McNasby
Co-Founder & Partner
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
— Theodore Roosevelt
Growing up, I heard my father say this at least once a month.
Dad, this one's for you 💪
Michal Oglodek
Co-Founder & Partner
"As a dad with three kids, I think about the world they'll inherit, where AI is expected to displace jobs on a massive scale. I want everyone, whatever their education or skills, to come out the other side as a builder. This is our dent in the universe."
What used to take Mark and me a year to build is now done in an afternoon. So a school, a hospital or a city no longer has to rent hundreds of systems it can't see into, fix or secure — it can own its software instead.

Values
Six values. Four acronyms. Two swear words.
Not the ones on a poster in the lobby. The ones we actually say out loud — in meetings, on calls, and at one in the morning when something is on fire.
TOWOIT
The only way out is through
When you get into deep water, the only way out is through. We don't route around a problem — we find out why, and fix that.
Routing around problems is how you end up with 450 apps.
YOLO
You only live once
We've already had the sensible careers. This is the one we'd regret not trying.
Our mothers would like us to point out this is not financial advice.
DO GOOD
No acronym. It didn't need one.
We build for the schools, hospitals and governments that serve everyone else — and we build it properly.
The one value we'd never joke about. So we didn't.
FLY
Catch us if you can
We move fast, and we don't slow down so the incumbents can keep up.
Legacy vendors: this one's about you.
FAFO
F*** around and find out
We're motivated by our detractors. Every “that'll never work” goes straight on the wall.
To our detractors: thank you for the motivation.
Let's talk.
