Our take
Meeting fatigue has become a significant pain point over recent years, exacerbated by the rise of video conferencing and remote workforces. Thankfully, there’s been a flurry of startups looking to alleviate the pressure and cash in on a growing sector that’s expected to stick around for good, with the normalisation of hybrid and asynchronous teams.
Vowel’s operating system includes features like searchable meeting recordings, automatic transcription, integrated agendas, and meeting analytics, all designed to boost productivity and trim the fat that sees the average worker spending around half their week in meetings.
Vowel has gotten remarkably far in providing a holistic, efficient meeting solution that can be easily integrated into a company’s regular workflow. Demand is set to rise in this sector over the coming decade and Vowel is in a strong position to take advantage of it.
