2020 is finally coming to a close and what a year it’s been! First and foremost, a big thank you to all of you who have been early supporters of Workomo.
We started the company remote-first, with a distributed team, right before the pandemic started spreading, closing our pre-seed round in January. We built Workomo to make people insights easily accessible, exactly when and where people need them.
To that effect, we built a Chrome Extension to focus on making people-prep easy for meetings. Why meetings? When Work-From-Home hit and everything went 100% online, Zoom and Google Meet usage soared. Video calls became the norm. From networking to pitching your startup, from hiring to getting interviewed – people were in online meetings all day long, and so were we, helping them do their people-prep right inside their online, remote, workspace.
Since launching on Product Hunt in August, we’ve seen an incredibly passionate group of users showing us their love for Workomo.
@workomo‘s chrome plugin for google calendar is really nailing the art of nonintrusive but deliberate #CX and #ux.
Features (big *and* small) need the same level of care and attention.#prodmgmt #uxdesign pic.twitter.com/Zf1P6f5vvH

Wonder if @workomo can integrate with @branch_gg so I can quickly check “who dis” when chatting with people I first met in a virtual setting!
They are a chrome extension, so probably not hard 🙂https://t.co/HDuwZSgMxE

We truly believe in building in public. Check out our public product release notes and stay tuned to us on Twitter, LinkedIn and now on YouTube for more about what we’re building at Workomo.
