Company mission
To make online connections more meaningful by building the most human spaces on the internet.
Our take
It's fair to say the shift in balance to remote work does not seem to be a temporary condition. Indeed many of the world’s biggest companies have committed to maintaining a fully remote workforce. However, remote needn’t mean less human.
A core piece to easing the transition is workplace collaboration tools — especially video chat tools that foster a “virtual office” feeling. Kumospace is one such tool.
Crucially the platform is built around immersiveness - the idea of being able to walk over and tap someone on the shoulder, have a really quick interaction, get what you need and then go back to work. In a virtual setting that means, guest logins, ‘rooms’ where people work and shared spatial audio.
The startup’s low-fi graphics and game-like mechanics might put some old-school employers off. However, its record with tens of thousands of teams so far, often using the platform for hours a day, suggests employees really love Kumospace and the ceiling for growth is high.
