Teamflow - Feel like a team again with your own virtual office

by

Teamflow is a virtual office for your team to hang out. Bring back the camaraderie of being in the office, the energy of working in the same room, the spontaneity of hallway conversations.
The joy of feeling like a team again.

Hi! I’m Flo, founder and CEO of Teamflow (I swear we didn’t name it after me). I though of this when my team at Uber had to go remote for a launch, and we instantly lost our camaraderie and found it much harder to work together. Now with Covid, everyone has become aware of these pain points. Game nights or casual hangouts in the kitchen are replaced by awkward “Zoom happy hours.” There’s more friction to work together, and everything feels more formal and transactional. But we think we can have our cake and eat it too — keep the life-changing advantages of remote work, and remove all its downsides. Teamflow lets you: 🗣️ Only hear and be heard by people around you 👋 Just walk up to someone when you want to talk with them 🔑 Close the door when you want to have a private conversation 👾 Play games in the space 🖍️ Whiteboard together 📝 Take meeting notes Very excited to hear everyone's thoughts!

@altimor Congrats on the launch! I’m already on the waitlist for my future start up ;)
Robert Mews
Great idea Florent. Have you considered having an app in this Zoom marketplace?

We are using this product for some Friday now (does people in English say this idiom? We do here in Czechia haha). It helps to our team to connect in a different sense than in a meeting that has a direct purpose. It's important for people to have a connection without purpose, even more in these self-isolating times.

It feels a little bit awkward, but actually this concept works really well!✅ Used a similar tool for informal meetings. https://getmibo.com . Feels just like you met in real person. Price is a little bit high i think. Are there any trial plans?
Florent Crivello
@simonblok Cheaper than an office ;) And yes, we offer a 30-days free trial, with unlimited meetings and team members!
Apoorva
@simonblok we used it for a happy hour. It felt super natural and we ended up playing games in the end. Definitely worth a try

As a fully remote team, we're always looking for tools that help us lower the friction for collaboration. We are huge fans of async communication, but there's a class of problems that a quick conversation/screenshare can solve much faster. Teamflow has helped us facilitate those quick collabs more frequently. Overall, love the product, and especially love the pace at which the product is improving!

Had the chance to first try it out a few weeks ago and tried it again yesterday. The improvements you guys did are amazing and I love the idea!
Tommy Leung
@a_m4 thanks Aleks! We’ve got more improvements coming! 🚀

I have been lucky to try it, and it's fantastic how much friction it remove. Drag your avatar close to a teammate to talk; I like the mechanism—seeing where are people in the office, which one in a meeting, which one is at the kitchen available for an easy talk. Feel like at the office but better.

Congrats Flo!! Incredible to see how fast you and the team have iterated on this since the early metaverse days. 🚀
Florent Crivello
Thanks Leon! You were perhaps in the first 10 people to see the prototype haha. Excited to show you what’s next!

Delightfully fun to use, common response I hear from my team is that it makes the remote world feel more personal. Great job @altimor and team at Teamflow

I've been using Teamflow with my students (marketing, journalism, innovation) since november and I'm trully enthousiastic ! Teamflow allows to keep them both engaged AND productive. They've been able to build an app (no code - via Glide) from scratch, working in separate rooms, then come by together and pitching the client, live from within Teamflow. It's a huge improvement in the way I'm teaching, coaching and building projects and, more importantly, living my work live, with my students, partners & sponsors. Well done Fl'o's Team and keep it up !
Jakob Tazreiter
@altimor Hi! Congrats on the launch. How does Teamflow compare to Tandem?
Florent Crivello
@altimor @jaketazreiter Ultimately, we're after the same kind of problem, but take a very different approach from them — we think the spatial component is key to re-creating natural interactions for remote workers.
Ada Yeo
Such an amazing idea to bring serendipity back to the office!
Ariane Ville
Very much looking forward to trying Teamflow, and not have to go through many steps and apps before chatting with a colleague :)
Jordan SUCCAR
We have been using Teamflow with the CrazyMonkey team since the early beta. I've been impressed by how fast they build such a strong product. I'm wondering @altimor how would you define the perfect workflow between Teamflow and Slack for example? Are they in competition or should they be used together ?
Florent Crivello
We're introducing a chat feature just next week, but for now, they can be used together, which also fixes one of the main problems people have with Slack: the fact that they're overwhelmed by notifications. It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff on Slack — idle chatter lives alongside important business decisions. But on Teamflow, conversations are ephemeral — so if you missed it, you have nothing to catch up on. And if something important emerges from that conversation, people know to circulate it on Slack / email.

I had the chance to try Teamflow, and it was an amazing pleasure to work on this tools ;) I really recommend the tools and the team is awesommeeeee

Been using Teamflow at Causal for the past few weeks and love it — we're a remote team and it lets us interact much more naturally than on Slack+Zoom. I look forward to logging into Teamflow every morning :)
Adriaan Balt
So impressed by how quickly you went from a prototype to this beautifully designed application! Well done TeamFlow!
Silvia Curioni
My team has been using Teamflow for the past 4 months, when we couldn't even add furniture to our office! It's been an amazing tool for our all remote team with 4 different timezones!
Tommy Leung
@silvia_curi you're one of the originals 🤗
Ridd
Tried it out yesterday and was really impressed by the collaboration tools 💪
Packy McCormick
Congrats Flo!! Excited to watch you and the team make remote work better than office work!

I’ve been using Teamflow with my fully distributed team since it was it was closed alpha/beta. The product has replaced annoying Slack DMs with quick high bandwidth and accelerated our team’s shipping velocity. Teamflow has been rapidly iterating and improving. Already love the product but can’t wait to see where it goes this year! 🙂
