Company mission
Fellow's mission is to make meetings delightful.
Our take
The quality and quantity of meetings has long been a problem in many workplaces, and the shift to remote/hybrid work over recent years has pushed it to boiling point. It’s no surprise then that meeting-optimization software company Fellow has found plenty of success in the space.
Fellow is a comprehensive meeting productivity app that allows users to construct agendas, record notes, assign items and more all through a single platform. The company has enjoyed strong growth since its launch, but faces a host of contenders similarly looking to dominate this burgeoning market.
Whilst Fellow’s offering seems more comprehensive and customizable than competitors like GoogleDocs and Hugo, the comparison becomes tighter against Adam.ai and Docket. That said, the company has attracted big-name clients like Motorola, Shopify, and Uber, which should help it compete as the market evolves.

Company values
- Write the playbook - We listen and we learn but we evaluate things from first principles. This means that we are not here to follow playbooks for success, we are here to write the playbook
- Set the bar high - We are an essential part of our users’ days. We help them manage their interactions at work. We help make work better for them. In order to help them with such an important mission, we have to have a very high quality bar
- Pace quickly - We name this value pace quickly instead of move quickly because we want to emphasize that we want to be measured in our approach and it’s through this considerate pacing that much of our speed is achieved
- Swing for the fences - Sometimes we will try things that have a low probability of payoff but enormously high returns if they do. We use a methodology known in investing as the barbell strategy. 80% of the time, we do things that have a high probability of paying off and little to no downside. 20% of the time, we make bigger bets that have a lower probability of payoff but have an enormous upside if they do
- Experiment and Grow - By knowing that it’s ok to fail, we will be more willing to experiment with and try things that we might not otherwise have thought of and this is what will help us achieve outsized outcomes
- Fellowship - We must have each other’s backs and support each other as we all have a shared mission and the only way to achieve it is with each other
