Send us a textIn this episode of TacoBytes, Una Japundza sits down with Doug Dosberg, founder of HeyTaco, to dive into the origin story of everyone's favorite peer recognition tool. From his early days at The Motley Fool to his unexpected leap into building a culture-shaping product, Doug shares the behind-the-scenes moments that brought HeyTaco to life.You'll hear how a frustrating experience with clunky HR software sparked a big idea, how game design principles helped fuel user engagement, and why Doug chose customer funding over investor dollars. This is a conversation about building with intention, staying close to your users, and why recognition works best when it's peer-powered and intrinsically motivated.Key TakeawaysDoug spent 11 years at The Motley Fool, where he focused on building tools to improve employee experience.HeyTaco was born out of frustration with a clunky, top-down HR tool—Doug wanted something simple, joyful, and people-first.He intentionally designed HeyTaco as a bottom-up platform, where feedback and recognition flow peer-to-peer.Game design theory played a major role in shaping the product's engagement mechanics.The very first version didn't even feature tacos—it all started with the beer emoji.
