Patrick is the co-founder of Commons.so, a venture-backed startup building the future of enterprise audio. Their product enables remote teams to talk as if they’re in the same room — and in the process, break down barriers that inhibit connection.
Patrick and his co-founders came together in May 2020 when they realized the way we work was changing before their eyes. Seemingly overnight, remote work became the new normal for millions around the world. Yet there weren’t collaborative tools made for this paradigm, and it felt like we were still in the “cubicle era”.
To solve this problem, Commons enables teams to have interactions you’d have in the physical office, without needing to step foot in it — starting with drop-in conversations. Together, the Commons team has 40+ years of engineering and product experience and has developed products at Snap, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and their own startups.
