| What problem are you solving? | Because the best communication and the best teams collaborate in person. Coordinating and organizing in person meetings is hard. Sunsama makes that effortless.Meetings are the pulse of organizations. It\’s where big ideas are being discussed and hard problems are being solved. The Sunsama feed gives you a way to find out what important meetings are happening with your team, even the ones you don\’t have to attend. You can like, comment and have discussions around the meetings inside your organization. |
| What is your solution? | Sunsama is an app that helps teams organize all their meetings, calls, lunches, and karaoke parties in one place.Teams rely on face-to-face conversations to solve their hardest problems. Sunsama makes it easy for people in teams to get together offline. By organizing all offline events in one place, everyone in the team can stay in sync about what\’s going on, and get involved in the conversations that matter most. More face time, less hassle. Sunsama is built for highly collaborative teams and organizations. If your craft benefits from input and discussions with your team, Sunsama is made for you. Sunsama will give knowledge workers a space where they can quickly assemble meetings/calls around conversation topics. You’ll have visibility into what conversations are happening offline within your team, so you can join in, follow up, or share your input via comments. Teams will be able to share their availability and easily schedule group meetings both within the team and across enterprises. Sunsama will be fully synchronized with whatever calendar you use, and integrate into your most important tools that help you communicate with your team (e.g. Slack), and manage your time (e.g. Tripit). Team’s will have a feed that’s the pulse of their organization. Meetings will be presented as opportunities and not obligations. Similar to Slack, you’ll be able to organize your team’s activities into channels, so that coordinating multiple projects and mixing in more social/playful activities is clean and simple. You’ll be able to comment, @ mention teammates, and shares files and notes on a meeting by meeting basis. When we’re ready to serve larger enterprises, we’ll provide analytics about meetings and interactions within the organization, so companies can figure out how to encourage more productive conversations. |

| Tell us about the market & founders, why is this a great opportunity? | Travis and I (Ashutosh) met while designing Volkswagen\’s internet enabled car back in 2009. We coordinated engineers and executives from the American headquarters, the German Headquarters, the Palo Alto research lab and two other research universities.After this, I moved to Palo Alto to work at LumobodyTech. I wrote activity recognition algorithms for wearable sensors. Those algorithms became commercially available in the LUMOback product and also used in Clinical research at Stanford University. Travis left to work on an innovative data-science based approach to counterterrorism at Deloitte in D.C. Travis and I didn\’t see each other again till I got a text from him that he was in Palo Alto for a few days. We ended up grabbing dinner at Da Sichuan and I started asking him about his project at Deloitte. Travis looked wildly uncomfortable as soon as I asked him. I thought it might just have been the blood red chili broth he just guzzled down but it turned out the counterrorism project just didn\’t go anywhere. Founders: |
