Now available in private beta, Spinach helps remote teams boost productivity of their virtual stand-up meetings. Early adopters can  join the waitlist here. Matan Talmi , CEO and Co-founder, Spinach: "With the right tools, remote work can and should be more productive than the in-person alternative. The pandemic has catapulted this existing trend and the workforce of tomorrow will demand premium, remote work experiences. Spinach is designed to deliver exactly that by making virtual meetings extremely productive, engaging and fun." A six person team spends an average of 750 hours per year in 30 minute daily stand-ups! Spinach makes that time count by adding increased organization, efficiency and transparency to daily stand-ups, all over Zoom. Spinach choreographs the daily stand-up by running the agenda, capturing action items and sharing them through the right channels. Spinach keeps everyone aligned by frictionlessly solving meeting organization and providing increased clarity amongst team members. Colin Born , Head of Corporate Development, Zoom Apps Fund: "We're proud to make Spinach one our first investments. The app Spinach has developed to work within Zoom is already helping teams run more impactful stand-ups than ever before, and we can't wait to see what the company creates next as they pursue their vision of making remote workflows even more efficient." With the launch of the Private Beta, Spinach will deliver reimagined workflow optimizations to some of the most innovative distributed teams. This fresh round of funding will be used to launch full access to Spinach, expand the engineering team and get Spinach into the hands of more teams navigating the remote era.
