Orchestra

So thrilled to be part of LAUNCH and among such incredible individuals who are on the way to changing the tech industry. Being one of them is huge! ??

Offline accelerator meetup, Sequoia pitch... is this really happening?! ?? Just back from a whirlwind trip to San Francisco with Sergie Poe, where we had the incredible opportunity to meet and collaborate with the LAUNCH LA33 founders for the first time. The energy is still buzzing! It was a true meeting of minds, sparking an exchange of ideas, insights, and shared visions. Being there in person gave us the chance to discover shared passions and goals, driving us to push boundaries and take our ideas further. ?? We pitched Orchestra - our app to revolutionize team collaboration - to Jason Calacanis. His feedback helped us refine both our pitch deck and product vision. We also hit a major milestone with our first pitch to Sequoia Capital. It's crazy to think we've come this far! Was also a pleasure to bump into Vinay C. from Layerpath, whom I first met at last year's Collision Conf in Toronto. This one-week journey boosted our projects and opened doors to great collaborations, showing that dreaming bigger and aiming higher leads to exciting new opportunities. Thank you to all the great founders we’ve met along the way: Luke Belbina, Joe Tannorella from Pod Engine Parth Mahendru, Michael Acquaviva from Prandtl Dynamics Inc.

?? What's the major roadblock often encountered in remote settings? After 30 interviews and over 100 demos and onboardings, we found that remote teams often struggle with a problem known as the collaboration gap. This gap makes two key areas of remote teams' work vulnerable: ? Communication In the office, discussions happen in person, allowing for quick issue resolution. When it comes to remote teams, communication takes on a different form, where messaging apps serve as the primary tool for connection and context. But, in reality, these tools often become distractions, shaping collaboration culture in unproductive ways. ? Task management Managing tasks and workflows through various tools has become a burden, especially for those who rely on them 24/7. The main issue is that most task trackers quickly become outdated, leading to missed deadlines and unproductive workflows. Instead of the tool serving you, you end up serving the tool. We wanted a change. ?? That's why we started Orchestra – a new approach to collaboration that provides a more streamlined and intuitive work experience. Check out our manifesto for the full story behind the product: https://lnkd.in/e_EX3JJx #Orchestra #remotework #productivity #collaboration

As fans of remote work, we get how easy it is to feel drained by constant app-switching and disorganized tasks, all of which take a toll on your team's efficiency. And this frustration of juggling multiple tools for chats, meetings, projects, and documents — wasting half the day just trying to locate the right files! This happens because most collaboration tools were designed for office-based teams, not for those working fully remotely. But what if the tool was created by people who truly understand the remote work struggle? That's where Orchestra steps in. Imagine all your chats, calls, tasks, documents, and databases in one place — no more app-hopping. Isn't it the solution teams have been seeking all along? ? Get one place to run all your work.
