About us
Gather gives distributed teams a virtual office, a place where you can collaborate like you're in person. In addition to video calls and chat, you can stop by someone's digital desk or wave people over to join conversations in real time. It's a way to bring back natural communication to the overly scheduled life of remote work.

🎙️ Acabei de gravar um bate-papo com o Raphael Baltar, CEO & Co-fundador da Meetz, a Lucimara Mendes Costa, Diretora de People & Culture na NEXTI e o Felipe Costa, Head of People na LOUD— que usam o Gather para liderar suas equipes remotas, e a forma como eles descreveram a sua experiência foi muito marcante. Trabalho remoto não precisa significar falta de conexão. Mas as ferramentas tradicionais quase nunca criam uma real sensação de presença. No Gather, você pode literalmente criar seu próprio escritório virtual. 🚶♂️ Caminhar até a mesa de alguém 🚪 Ter conversas com “porta aberta” ou “porta fechada” 💬 Esbarrar com um colega no corredor e começar a conversar—como seria presencialmente Sua câmera e áudio entram e saem naturalmente conforme você se movimenta, criando interações fluidas e realistas. E claro, o Gather avisa antes de alguém conseguir ver ou ouvir você (sem surpresas enquanto você troca de aba ou monitor). Na conversa, falamos sobre como isso muda tudo: ✨ Papos espontâneos que viram brainstorms geniais 🤝 Uma sensação de presença real que outras ferramentas não entregam 🌐 Um ambiente que realmente parece um local de trabalho Se você lidera uma equipe distribuída e quer mais do que só “entregar tarefas”—vale muito a pena assistir. *Just recorded a video chat with Raphael Baltar, CEO & Co-founder at Meetz, Lucimara Mendes Costa, Director of People and Culture at NEXTI, and Felipe Costa, Head of People & Cullture at LOUD — three leaders who’ve been using Gather to power their remote teams - and the way they described the experience really hit home. Working remotely doesn’t mean sacrificing connection. But the usual tools often fall short when it comes to presence. In Gather, you can actually create your own office space. 🚶♀️ Walk over to someone’s desk 🚪 Have open-door or closed-door conversations 💬 Bump into a teammate in the hallway and start chatting—just like in real life Your camera and audio fade in and out as you move around the space, so every interaction feels natural—not forced. And yes, you always get a heads-up before someone can see or hear you (no surprises if you're mid-multitask). In this conversation, we talked about how this changes everything: ✨ Spontaneous chats that lead to great brainstorms 🤝 A sense of team presence that structured tools just can’t replicate 🌐 A workspace that actually feels like a workplace If you're leading a distributed team and want to move beyond just “getting things done” to actually working together—let's talk!

Lenny Rachitsky Lenny Rachitsky is an InfluencerEarlier this year Noam Segal and I ran a survey of 6,500 tech professionals asking them what tools they use most in their work. We shared the results of this analysis in our annual "What's in your stack?" report (see link below). But then we got a question: "What promising tools appeared in the 'other' category?" In other words, what should be in your stack? Here's what the data showed us are the most interesting up-and-coming tools you should know about: 1. AI: Granola, Glean, ChatPRD 2. Work communication: Lark, Gather 3. Presentations: Gamma, Pitch, Lark, Napkin AI 4. Data: PostHog 5. Project management: Shortcut 6. Design: Penpot 7. Customer support: Pylon, ChurnZero, Crisp IM 8. CRM: Attio 9. User research: Tally 10. Email: Mimestream 11. Docs: Slab, Obsidian 12. Virtual whiteboards: Excalidraw Here's the full analysis: https://lnkd.in/gyeF2JDY

Last week, we ventured into the vibrant city of Montreal for our first offsite of the year! We love these opportunities to step out of our day-to-day work to strategize, learn from, and inspire one another. (And of course, have some fun together, too!) The best part? We never miss a beat when everyone returns home. We keep the energy flowing back at virtual Gather HQ 🍇

If you’re leading a remote team and still relying only on Slack, Google workspace and/or Zoom, you’re missing something... We started using Gather at Lizit about a year ago, and I honestly wish we had done it sooner It has completely changed how we interact as a remote team Slack/Google chat is great for async Meets/Zoom is great for structured meetings But neither creates the feeling of presence Gather adds that missing layer -You can walk over to someone’s desk -Have quick hallway chats -Share space with your team without needing a formal meeting It brings back the informal moments, the spontaneous conversations, the quick check-ins that usually get lost in remote work It has made our culture tighter, our communication more fluid and our days a little more human If you're leading a distributed team and want to keep people connected beyond tasks and deadlines try Gather #remotework #startuplife #teamculture #tools #productivity #foundertips

I always felt something off with remote collaboration. Our designers were working together, but it didn’t feel *effortless.* - Slack messages felt impersonal. - Scheduled calls felt too structured for brainstorming. - Async communication starting becoming the norm. We needed a space that felt more natural. That’s when we switched to Gather as our virtual office. Now, dropping by a teammate’s desk takes seconds. Ideas flow without the friction of scheduling meetings. Feedback happens in real time, just like in a physical office. The result? - Faster iteration cycles. - Higher-quality design work. - A stronger, more connected team. And most importantly—happier clients. Going into 2025, this was one of the best decisions we made.

How do you build a flexible and effective remote working environment? 🌍💻 Working remotely offers great flexibility, but it can sometimes feel isolating. Spontaneous conversations, quick questions, and the social energy of an office can be harder to maintain when your team is spread across multiple locations. Sounds familiar? At JS World Media, we’ve found a way to bridge the gap between remote and in-office work. We use Gather, a virtual workspace that enables us to collaborate as if we were sitting next to each other in the office. With Gather, everyone has their own virtual workstation, making it easy to “drop by” a colleague’s desk—just like in a physical office. Need a quick chat or want to host a presentation? Simply walk over to a teammate in the virtual space or join one of the designated meeting rooms. ✨ 4 benefits of Gather: ✔️ Effortless communication – No need to schedule a meeting for every small question. Just walk up and start a conversation when you see your colleague is available! ✔️ A stronger team spirit – The interactive, game-like environment makes remote work more engaging and social. ✔️ Structured workdays – Dedicated meeting rooms and workspaces create a productive setup. ✔️ Flexibility and efficiency – Ideal for quick check-ins, presentations, and teamwork across locations. 🔎 Check out how two of our amazing colleagues from JS Deutschland GmbH and JS Danmark describe the benefits of working on Gather! #RemoteWork #HybridWork #VirtualOffice #Collaboration

When Intuition started using Gather, the pace of work accelerated. Instead of waiting for scheduled meetings, team members could simply walk over to each other and start problem-solving on the spot. As they approached their beta release, their virtual office became vital for maintaining alignment and facilitating rapid iteration. The outcome was a highly successful launch and a connected, fast-paced team culture. Read their story here 👉 https://bit.ly/3DjuWYq
