Sunshine

Our company mission: To create advanced technologies that make mundane tasks effortless, free up your time, and make it easier to be thoughtful.

At Sunshine, we are passionate about making the mundane magical: building everyday apps that put people first and quietly solve problems using sophisticated technology.

Our first product was Sunshine Contacts. Sunshine Smart Contacts is our new and improved contacts app. This second-generation app builds on the learnings from our first-generation product to produce the most sophisticated contact organization and enhancement system in the market.

As we build our portfolio of apps, we are eager to innovate in scheduling, group communication, and event organization, just to name a few.

In an era of amazing technological advances, the tools that help us manage the most important aspect of our lives – our personal relationships – have fallen far behind. The Internet and social media have given us powerful new ways to connect with people, but the essential technologies that help us stay connected to those who matter most to us are antiquated. They’ve been around forever and we all see them as ‘good enough,’ despite their outsized impact on our interactions and relationships.

When Enrique and Marissa discussed starting a company, these were the questions they came to focus on. Why are our phone lists, calendars, texts, and email so disorganized and difficult to manage? Why is it still hard to keep up with our friends’ job and address changes? Why aren’t artificial intelligence and other new technologies being used to reinvent these everyday social tasks that take up so much of our time and often serve only to increase friction in our lives?

They founded Sunshine in order to solve these “mundane” problems. Social platforms may have mastered sharing at scale, but no one has mastered the challenge of helping people easily share the right info, with the right people, at just the right moment. Sunshine’s mission is to build products that save you time, improve your day, and make it easier to be more thoughtful.
