*What we do*

MyQuire has a mission to provide an online tool for doing projects that is
easy to use and lets members do work, meet in real time, and connect their
projects to their networks. Whether trying to do a project at work or
planning a casual weekend getaway with friends, there has been a pain
associated with the entire process. The popularity of social networks has
taught us that people would rather interact with *people *when they are
online. And so MyQuire developed a powerful and comprehensive tool for
projects that puts *people *– not technology - at the center of the project
and uses intuitive design and a streamlined feature set to let people work
how they want to work instead of asking them to change their behavior.
