"Age of Miracles"

Teamflow is a virtual office that makes remote work work. Led by Flo Crivello, a former Uber engineer who launched Uber Works and gig charging for Jump, Teamflow brings back the presence of being in the office, the energy of working in the same room, the spontaneity of hallway conversations — the joy of feeling like a team. Forget Zoom. Teamflow is what remote work should feel like. 

The way Flo and the Teamflow team are building is full of lessons for entrepreneurs. Learn how they're building in Zoom's virality with Slack's moats, for example, or how Flo spent two months of 13-hour days recruiting his dream team. 

Today, Teamflow is launching on ProductHunt. Go support them here: Teamflow on PH
