Company mission

Make the world spend less time in meetings.

Our take

tl;dv is one of a number of new startups looking to combat the growing, and aggravating, number of video meetings that have cropped up over recent years. Its Google Chrome recording extension allows users to record video meetings with key moments marked, so they can be both reviewed when needed and distributed to team members who can’t or don’t strictly need to attend.

The company is operating in a razor thin market niche - but it’s proving to be a good bet so far. Google Workspace, for example, recently stopped providing their premium meeting recording feature free of charge to customers in the education sector. Plus, whilst there’s a number of competitors making similar moves in the meeting recording space (Loom, Rewatch, Sembly, to name a few), none are directly competing with tl;dv’s ‘key moments’ annotation feature.

It’s a simple function, but it’s one that has already proven hugely popular across Google video searches and Youtube. tl;dv’s incorporation of this into what is otherwise a standard video-recording tool makes for a remarkably unique product. Its simplicity, however, may also prove risky. The company may need to push for deep market penetration, or expand its offering, to continue attracting customers.

Company values

  • Independence and trust We schedule work around life and not the other way around. We trust everyone on the team by default, trust should always be a pre-requisite. We'll align on goals, KPIs, and targets, so you're fully in the driver's seat! Failing is crucial to growth. The faster we fail, the faster we learn. We discuss intellectually honest before things are at risk to go south. Like south, south. We'll reach goals together, we'll celebrate our wins together!
  • Async-first mentality, efficient meeting culture We treat time zones and your schedule with due respect. We believe information and knowledge should be acquired once, and distributed forever. We maintain a single source of truth so that all knowledge is discoverable by every team member independently. We love cross-functional collaboration. 1 + 1=3. Together we can achieve so much.
  • We win together and never forget to have fun Our team comes first, always. We love banter, silly jokes, and The Office. tl;dv is run by skateboarders, painters, guitar players, pasta chefs, and Formula 1 couch drivers. We love to work on our own schedule and have virtual coffees at random times and with random members twice a week. We work from wherever we like. Currently: Uganda, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Portugal, Russia, and Paraguay. We strive to travel and meet each other a few times a year in crazy places - to rent a house and chill out, play games, brainstorm or do hackathons. tl;dv is only as strong as the weakest member of the team. We will ALWAYS prioritize this. Vulnerability is strength.
