Throne Labs

Most people think "accessible restroom" = ramp + grab bars + wide door. It's not wrong, but it is missing something just as important: cleanliness. Why? Because a wheelchair ramp doesn't matter if the restroom at the top of it is too dirty to enter. Our Accessibility Consultant, Louis Do, who is blind, shared what it's like navigating public restrooms he can't visually check before using. "Cleanliness is never my favorite part of using any public facility... it takes very careful planning around bodily needs." If a restroom isn't clean and safe, it's not actually available to everyone, no matter how many accessibility features it has on paper. Ever wondered why—or how—we clean Thrones so much?

17 miles along the Atlanta Beltline this weekend. 🏃♂️ While I prefer the quietness of the trails, there’s something special about hitting the concrete at sunrise and dodging bikes, scooters, and strollers. 😅 Seeing how this loop brings real access to previously disconnected parts of Atlanta is awesome. Also cool to see a couple of Throne Labs “thrones” en route! S/o Madison Huemmer! Now if we can remove these giant World Cup soccer balls scattered around, that would be great… asking for a friend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💔 #Atlanta #Beltline #Running #ConnectedMobility

What should designers stop doing when it comes to public restrooms? 🤔 "If anything, they should start doing more," said Ben Clark, our cofounder and VP Hardware. "It feels like so many places where Thrones are needed are places where people have built out infrastructure and didn't plan ahead for bathrooms." The best way to expand restroom access is to prioritize them. Who'da thought?

I feel seen. Few texts have filled me with as much joy as this picture sent by my friend Heather. We met nearly 29 years ago on move-in day at Smith College. She knew exactly how much it would mean to me when she texted me this picture of her sitting on a Throne, mid-jog along the Atlanta Beltline on a recent trip. Tag someone that knows exactly how to make you smile. #friendship #cheerleaders #Throne Labs #publicrestrooms #joggers #ATL

We're honored to be finalists and can't wait until Smart Cities in September! 🏙️⭐

Where are all my remote engineers at?! One of our FAVORITE clients (seriously our team fights over who gets to work on their roles) is hiring. We are partnering with Throne Labs, to hire a Senior Full Stack Engineer. This is not your typical full-stack role. We're looking for someone who truly leans backend while also having hands-on experience building and shipping React Native mobile applications. What we're looking for: ✅ Strong backend engineering experience with Node.js and TypeScript ✅ Experience designing and building scalable APIs ✅ Production experience with React Native (iOS & Android) ✅ Comfortable owning products end-to-end, from architecture through deployment ✅ Startup mindset with a passion for solving challenging technical problems 💻 Fully Remote (US) If you're someone who has primarily worked on the frontend or mobile side, this likely won't be the right fit, we're specifically looking for an engineer with a strong backend foundation who also has React Native experience. If this sounds like you (or someone in your network), please reach out to Alyssa Smith or feel free to send me a message or comment below! #Hiring #SoftwareEngineering #FullStack #NodeJS #TypeScript #ReactNative #RemoteJobs #StartupJobs #EngineeringJobs

Did you know that community involvement can help with reducing vandalism in public restrooms? Throne's VP of Product, Shyanne Telfer MCIPS, shares that sometimes the strongest accountability comes from the neighbors, park-goers, and commuters who use a restroom everyday.

“We didn’t go in knowing we were going to move it or planning to move it, but the ability to move it is definitely a benefit of this pilot.” That was Joel Miller, a public space manager with Seattle Department of Transportation.
