NAME OF STARTUP: Banter.so

Random moments of friendship and team building have dissipated as teams move to remote and async. Banter helps remote teams learn more about each other and build comradery.
FOUNDER: Raymond Sam
THE FOUNDER’S STORY: When and how did you come up with the idea for the business?:
I’m a Demand Gen/Growth marketer based in Toronto. Have built the marketing engines of some high growth startups like Wave and Ritual. As I was consulting with more remote teams, I noticed the lack of comradery that teams would normally build in an office.
Banter sparks spontaneous group conversations with ice breakers that would normally happen IRL.

Culture and People Leads, Team Leaders, Managers, Founders
LESSONS TO SHARE: What 3 key lessons from your startup journey you’d like to share with aspiring entrepreneurs?:

Banter helps promote bonding and friendships in remote teams by starting group conversations on a regular cadence with thoughtful questions and by bringing up interesting topics.
