Aimed at young professionals, Corner adds a layer of accountability to your typical goal-setting process. When other team members count on you, you're bound to start following their lead and count on yourself as well.

Corner is intuitive and easy to use, simple as that. Alas, goal-setting shouldn't morph into tedious task by itself. It motivates users on both personal and professional levels, adding just enough responsibility to others to let them push forward.
