“So claap, it's an async video collaboration platform. So basically, the key is to say that you have this big shift to a distributed world. One big problem that we have is that back to back meeting that become the norm, but we like the core of the problem is that anytime today we want to align and make decisions. Basically, we are stuck between two options.”
“To to sum up, it's Zoom, but for feedback and decision making. Because we add, like, on top of Loom, a layer of, like, collaboration together to annotate the video, to make decisions, and so on. But it's also a way to centralize all the videos you have, like, in the in your company in just one place.”
“So I think we got 1,400. Actually, it's a funny story because at first we got one one thousand eight hundred, but we had 400 votes deleted the week after. So I think it's one of the learnings I can share. If you ask too many people that don't have any account on the product and to vote, you might get some votes deleted. But right now, think it's 1,400 votes.”

“Yeah, so basically like the idea of Claap, it's an asynchronous meeting platform And the basic idea is to say that we are living maybe the largest shift in our work since the last industrial revolution, which is working from anywhere.”
“The valuation like pre money was around like 14,500,000.”
“I think it's part of this. We like basically like the waitlist, we had it like from the initial announcement in January with like the meeting calculator and also with like the fundraising announcement campaign we did in June. And I think like all the time is like, you know, when you don't have like any product, you need to speak about the absence of the product.”
