Entrepreneurship can often feel like a tangled mess. Jonathan Fields, CEO and Co-Founder of Assembly, describes it as a “yarn ball”—full of wild loops, unexpected setbacks, and sudden breakthroughs. From a distance, success looks linear, but it’s the day-to-day navigation of obstacles that makes it possible. The chaos never truly settles, but through it, growth follows.
Assembly, an all-in-one communication and engagement hub, is built on Jonathan’s experience working in the tech space, particularly at ZipRecruiter. With a vision of helping organizations scale culture and boost employee engagement through technology, Jonathan and his co-founders built an automated platform that streamlines communication, idea management, and recognition—ensuring companies have the tools to nurture a thriving, connected workforce.
The entrepreneurial journey demands a unique kind of resilience—the fortitude to face the highs, the lows, and everything in between. For Jonathan, it’s the relentless drive to keep going through the messiness that fuels Assembly’s growth. How do you maintain momentum through the inevitable twists and turns of your own journey?
