Thanks @mwseibel- I’m Siamak from  Campfire 🪵🔥 & we’re helping remote teams have actually fun virtual socials! 🟥 By now, we’ve all been in a work Zoom “social” where every second felt like a lifetime and you just couldn’t wait to hit that big read Leave button. 😥 Remote team socials suck & teams are having a hard time finding fun things to do together online to feel connected. 🎲 We solve this by giving teams a multiplayer game world that’s constantly updated with new games and activities for socials like happy hours and watercooler chats. 💻 We’re live in early release with Netflix, Lattice, Github and 30+ more leading remote and hybrid companies! 🔨 I’m a 2x metaverse founder (first co was a multiplayer AR startup). Before that I worked at Peloton and Microsoft. My co-founder, Sina, was a growth PM @ SaaS unicorn League. Our first engineer is an ex senior eng from Snapchat & Amazon. 👀 We want to make remote work less isolating, and beyond that, to offer a more fulfilling way for people to communicate & share experiences while physically apart.

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Sina from Campfire here. Really excited to be building this platform to help teams have fun together and stay connected. The fun element has definitely taken a back seat until now in remote settings for the last 2 years, but not anymore. We want to make remote life and more generally digital interactions more engaging than just staring at a 2D Zoom panel. The future of telecommunication is in 3D spaces to enhance it. It’s like going from Fax, to email, to FaceTime 🖨 -> 📧 -> 📱 We’re just getting started, and really excited about this journey. Hope that you can join us on the ride to building a better future for remote work globally and keeping teams connected ✌🏼

@Campfire is awesome! As soon as you step in everything feels more casual and friendly, which is great for team get togethers! I love the functionality of only hearing those that you're sitting with, really gives a cool feel to whole company calls as opposed to a ton of tiny faces on a stale zoom setting.
Sina Zargaran
@ernesto_reza thank you so much Ernesto for sharing your Campfire experience! We're so glad your team is part of the Campfire family :D P.s. we're adding a bigger hangout spot this week, check it out

@campfire @ernesto_reza Means a lot to have your support Ernesto and thanks a lot for being patient with us to get the features you requested- I promise good screenshare is coming soon 😂
Sandra Djajic
These games actually look super fun, I think most apps/games available now are renditions of each other and remakes of already popular games. These activities look genuinely fun to do :)

Campfire is super fun! Having a playground to be in with your co-workers in a remote environment is so much more interesting than Zoom or other tools. Remote cultures are hard to build and I'm grateful people are trying to create tools to help companies transition from offices to global collaboration. We have 40 people across 10 countries. The culture of work is changing and it's so exciting!
Sina Zargaran
@ngardideh Thanks so much! Distributed workforce is the future of work, and the stack needs to evolve and adapt. Appreciate the support 🙏🚀
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@ngardideh Thanks a lot for the kind words Nima 🥳

We've been using this for over a month now for Friday hangouts and a short "watercooler" meeting each week. It's been great fun and adds a new dimension to the casual team chats!

Campfire is a lot of fun! It is without a doubt the most fun I've ever had on a sales call lol. Highly recommend checking it out if you have a remote team, beats the heck out of awkward zooms.
Sina Zargaran
@frantzlight Thanks so much Chris! Definitely a better way to connect and have fun than Zoom :D
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@frantzlight Thanks a lot Chris! And soon we're stepping up our product emails as well ;)
Brad Sickles
When I led a team of engineers at a remote company, we had to work really hard to keep everybody connected. We tried small group coffee/tea hour among many other things, but it was always more effort than the team members could handle. This hurt our introverted engineers that still wanted to connect with coworkers. I've started another company since then and hope to use @Campfire as we grow.
Sina Zargaran
@brad_sickles this is so great! Thanks, Brad. Really appreciate you sharing your experience :D Looking forward to having your future team on Campfire!

we've been using Campfire for a few months now here at Freshpaint. our team is fully remote, and we love the change of pace it gives us. the games/activities change weekly, which is great for me as a founder - i don't have to spend as much time planning team building activities
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@fitzrocks It's been amazing to have Freshpaint as one of the earliest teams to use Campfire. Thank you for your ongoing support Steven 😊
Brennan McEachran
Had a campfire recently and it was so much fun!
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@i_am_brennan Thank you so much Brennan! Your support and encouragment since our earlist days means a lot.
Max Musing
Campfire is awesome, we tried it last week at Basedash. Feels like a really strong foundation for being able to integrate games into. Excited to see what you add next!
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@maxmusing Thank you so much Max. We're proud to have Basedash as a customer & can't wait to release the next batch of games for you guys :D
Matt Littlefair
We had a chance to try out Campfire with our distributed team and it was awesome! It took the work out of virtual team socialization and our team was super engaged. Our hour long Campfire flew by!
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@matt_littlefair1 Thanks for the kind words Matt :)
Mahmoud Parto
Such a great idea! Would love to use it to have some fun time with friends and colleagues during the coffee breaks. Nice work!
Siamak Freydoonnejad
@mahmoud_parto Thank you so much Mahmoud! We'll definitely open up Campfire for use beyond teams at some point, we already have people who use their work space for friend game nights too :)
Philip La
Used Campfire with my team and everyone had a great time! Tons of activities and ways for people to socialize in unique ways
Sina Zargaran
@philipla1989 glad you and the team had a good time!
Russ d'Sa
At LiveKit, we'd been looking for something fun and casual to help strengthen the emotional bonds within our remote team. Campfire offers a captivating shared experience for us to connect without feeling cumbersome or requiring deep investment. Amazing product!
Sina Zargaran
@dsa Thanks a lot Russ! Means a lot :D
