Work Wasn’t Meant to Be This Hard.
Innovation at the Heart of Everything We Do
Remote work was supposed to be the future—flexible, productive, seamless. Instead, it’s turned into an endless grind of scheduled meetings, calendar gridlock, and frustrating bottlenecks that kill momentum and drain creativity.
Every decision is delayed. Every conversation requires a formal invite. Every workday feels like a marathon of back-to-back calls. This isn’t how teams should work. It’s slow. It’s exhausting. It’s broken.
We started Katmai to fix it.

The problems we refuse to accept
For small, fast-moving teams—especially in tech—speed is survival. Every extra step, every delayed decision, every unnecessary meeting is friction that slows you down. And yet, today’s remote work tools force teams into a workflow that’s anything but fast:

Need a quick answer?
Wait a week for a 30-minute call.
Blocked on a decision?
Good luck aligning calendars.
Want to brainstorm?
Brace yourself for another soul-sucking Zoom session.
Packed with meetings?
Guess you’ll do your real work after hours.
The worst part? None of this happened in a real office. In person, you could pop by someone’s desk, hash things out in minutes, and get back to work. Work had flow. It was natural. It was fast.
Work at the Speed of Thought.
We built Katmai because we believe collaboration should be instant, not scheduled. Teams shouldn’t be forced into rigid, calendar-driven workflows that kill momentum. Work should happen naturally, when and where you need it—just like in a real office.
With Katmai, you don’t schedule work. You just do it.

Why We’re Obsessed With This Problem
Because we’ve lived it.
We’ve run remote teams. We’ve sat through the never-ending meetings. We’ve felt the frustration of waiting on slow decisions and missing the energy of fast-moving collaboration.
And we’re tired of hearing that this is just the reality of remote work. It’s not. It’s the reality of bad tools.
So we’re building a better one.
Katmai isn’t just another video conferencing tool. It’s a new way to work—one that actually works. One that makes teams faster, happier, and more productive.
This isn’t just about fixing meetings. It’s about fixing work. And we won’t stop until we do.
