We started Slido with the vision to transform how meetings and events are run around the world.In the eight years since we began, the world has changed, no more so than in 2020. With millions of workers shifting to remote work, having the right technology in place to power their work and meetings is absolutely critical.In today’s work environment, it has never been more important to connect and collaborate, no matter how, where or when we work together. We believe that the way we work has changed forever. In the years to come, much of our work will happen on video calls and virtual meetings.We realized that if we want to impact millions of lives for better and truly transform how meetings and events are run around the World, we will need a strong partner.
