Parabol's sweet treat: Mary Berry Lemon Bundt Cake

This week Parabol celebrated our 6th year of existence!

Despite the challenges of operating as an organization (and as individual people) during a global pandemic, this year is worth celebrating for many worthy reasons.

Our team has more than doubled since year 5, signaling strong growth from a business perspective and creating an environment where more diverse backgrounds, experiences, and expertise come to make Parabol a better company and product. Having teammates across the globe has given us the gift of greater perspective and empathy—cheers to that!

While an in-person celebration wasn’t possible, we each selected a treat of our choice to enjoy and shared the photos on Slack (how good does that Mary Berry lemon Bundt cake look?!).

With our sweet tooth sated, we look forward to this year: learning from each other, experimenting, and sharing Parabol’s journey with you.
