There was a time not too long ago when remote working was reserved for the few. Maybe you had a friend who freelanced, maybe you’d heard a rumour that someone in accounts had discovered a loophole in their contract, maybe you’d done it once when you’d had a bit too much fun the night before. Naming no names.

Teamflow is a virtual office for remote teams. It recreates the casual, unplanned chats and the seamless collaboration that people miss from physical offices. Here's how it works.

‍We’re excited to announce Teamflow’s $11M Series A led by Neeraj Agrawal at Battery Ventures. We will use the funds to keep building the future of remote work.

Here are five ways remote teams use Teamflow to feel more connected, work more productively, and make remote work much more fun.

The team at SafetyWing wanted a solution that allowed them to strike the right balance between flexible, focused work and time to collaborate and socialize in a way that feels natural and connected — and Teamflow helped them do just that.

This month our team of engineers released several product updates including one of our most requested features: Full screen mode. In addition, we released a Google calendar add-on, opening of apps with QR codes and entering and exiting rooms is now lightning fast!

This months’ feature releases and updates include Speaker Circles, ability to share and watch videos together on YouTube, and big mobile layout improvements.

We sat down with Rafael Sanches, the Co-Founder at Anycart, one of the biggest grocery shopping engines in the U.S., to see how his team uses Teamflow as their virtual workspace.

Virtual meetings are here to stay. And regardless of the format — in-person or virtual — making the most out of a meeting is business critical.

So, what’s the deal with remote work? Does it make us more productive and more collaborative? Or are we more stressed, less engaged and more likely to quit? We pulled our own numbers on remote meetings to better understand how employees and companies are working — or not — remotely.

A great place to start cultivating a culture that is mindful and respectful of each other’s personal and professional time is by changing the way meetings are planned and run.

Successful team building is about more than just throwing the right group of people together and hoping for the best. Fostering teamwork, group cohesion, and strong team dynamics requires deliberate guidance, effective leadership, and good communication — whether you are building your team virtually or in person.

Here’s how to run effective and efficient whiteboarding sessions with your remote team

As companies adapt to the hybrid work model and other models, the question of how to manage virtual teams has become more pressing.

We’re thrilled to announce our $35 million Series B investment led by Coatue’s Lucas Swisher, with existing investors Menlo Ventures’ Naomi Ionita and Grace Ge, and Battery Ventures’ Neeraj Agrawal and Brandon Gleklen also participating in the round. This round brings our total amount raised to $50 million in the year since our founding.

COVID-19 has accelerated changes to the workplace that were already in process, and the emerging hybrid work model is a response to that.

We hired employee #1 at Teamflow in October 2020 and shipped in January 2021 — going from first line written to shipping in 3 months, with Christmas in the middle.

While some businesses have made hybrid and remote work permanent, a recent survey by SHRM found that 72% of supervisors prefer their employees to be back in the office. Meanwhile, 55% of employees would like to work remotely at least some of the time. But the divergence across industries and income levels means that remote work is unevenly distributed by geography.
