PH fam! 👋 If you are like me and working remotely, you would be mourning the loss of brainstorming sessions, loss of collaboration amongst team members, and loss of ideas flowing across the room. That’s what got us to Drunk Startups, a brand new mixer by Thursday. In this activity, your team breaks out into smaller groups and ideates over insanely absurd prompts like delivering pizza 🍕 to International Space Station. They put their best ideas on to our whiteboard and they later pitch those to the entire team. The fun part is the funding. Everyone on the team gets $100 million (well, of course, fake money - but who cares?) to fund the best ideas. 💰 So try it out and let me know what you think? I will be here all day and will be happy to answer any questions. As they say.. every single unicorn 🦄 was born around a whiteboard. All you need is a crazy idea. P.S. What’s your crazy drunk startup idea? 💡

Hello Product Hunters! 👋 Deepa here! I am the founder and maker of Thursday. We are very excited to share our newest mixer with you.  With this mixer, we wanted to facilitate collaboration, brainstorming, giving & receiving feedback; all of these while having fun. As a remote team, it is one of the best and most fun ways to spend synchronous time.  Get together with your team, try it out and let us know what you think.

@nishith_shah This looks like a very fun tool. The idea of giving teammates "money" to vote best ideas helps reach consensus which is otherwise not easy. I love that you incorporated video conferencing so seamlessly.

@maya_ovice glad you liked it. Such activities actually provides a stimulus to active collaboration between team members which otherwise is challenging while working remotely.

What a great way to have fun with my team, even with great distance! Congrats on your launch, Nishith and the rest of the team! And thanks for making internet more fun!
Harshit Beniwal
Maker
@eivindhaa Yes, because remote doesn't mean we compromise on having a little fun while working and "Making internet more fun" that absolutely captures what we've been upto all this while! Thank you so much for these kind words.
Amelia Charlie
What sets this particular remote-working product apart from its competitors? How do you differentiate yourself?
Nishith from True Sparrow
Maker
@amelia_charlie great question. First things first, we don't do boring! 😎 Thursday is all about providing opportunities to remote teams to engage in a fun way that doesn't seem like work. Our social activities (from drunk startups to charades to speed 1-on-1s) help break boundaries, and build trust.
