Hey everyone 👋 I’m Jakob, co-founder of Butter, which we've built to help people run super-engaging, interactive sessions from start to finish. We’re about to launch Scenes, an exciting new tool for interactive presentations and collaboration which people can use alongside Zoom/MS Teams/Google Meet—perfect for anyone who cares about keeping participants focused and engaged! We’ve launched on Product Hunt 3x before, and we've hit #1 Product of the Day and became a finalist for the Golden Kitty Awards — so I'm super grateful and excited to do an AMA and share our learnings here! Ask me anything about building a fully-remote startup, product- and community-led growth, keeping clarity, conviction and focus as a founder, and the future of collaboration!

Hey Jakob, huge congrats on Butter’s success and the upcoming launch of Scenes! Your track record on Product Hunt and that Golden Kitty finalist nod are incredible achievements. It’s inspiring to see how you’re continuously innovating in the collaboration space. As someone building pdftopdf.ai, I’m curious about your approach to keeping your team aligned and motivated while running a fully-remote startup. How do you ensure that everyone stays connected to the vision and maintains momentum, especially during challenging times? Also, with Scenes being a big leap, how do you strike the balance between experimenting with new ideas and staying true to your product’s core mission? Excited to hear your insights and wishing you all the best for the next big launch!

Hi Jakob, you mentioned building a fully-remote startup and product-led growth. Here's the question: How do you balance fostering a strong company culture and maintaining team cohesion in a fully-remote setup, especially when there's no physical office to build those spontaneous connections?
