FMYI (sometimes stylized as FMYI [for my innovation]), is a collaboration software B Corporation based in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Company

FMYI Inc. was founded in 2004 by Justin Yuen after he left Nike's corporate social responsibility team.[3] He remains the president of the company and has not taken venture capital to support the company, instead looking to bootstrap the company's success.[4] Current and former clients include: Nike, Sony, HBO,[5] Aflac, Hyatt,[6] the United Kingdom's National Health Service,[7] and MTV's Room Raiders.[3]

FMYI released the 7th version of their system, "FMYI 7.0", on January 26, 2013 which leveraged Bootstrap.[8]

The company is a certified B Corporation and was one of the first registered Benefit Companies in the State of Oregon.[9] FMYI has embraced worklife flexibility policies as part of its culture[10] and have received awards as a result.[11] The company also is part of a consortium of Portland, Oregon area tech companies that have joined forces to increase diversity.[12] FMYI purchases renewable energy credits for clients' energy use on FMYI.[5] Employees are expected to complete Natural Step training and are allowed to volunteer during the workday.[13]
