Hi Product Hunt - Leonardo from Pulse, launching the next comm platform to help people discuss, align, and collaborate asynchronously. We built Pulse because we saw that keeping people inspired, motivated and aligned in any high-growing organization is *hard*. When you’re a small company and employees fit into a single room (physically or virtually), everyone knows what everyone else is working but at around 50 employees, this stops working and answering simple questions like “What are the company high-level priorities? What does leadership value most? Who are all these people I’m working with around the globe?” becomes super hard. If you have a system like Pulse, you (and others in your team) get a central location to (1) streamline important comm about priorities, directions and status, (2) share, discuss, review or collaborate asynchronously and (3) hold institutional knowledge and decision history that’s important to keep so that employees, current and future, aren’t lost without context. With Pulse, you get 3 different systems in one: 1) An internal publishing platform perfect for both small-scale distributed teams or high-growing companies. You may think of it as an “internal Subsctack for teams” with: - Follow/unfollow teams, people, and topics - Personal feed to get caught up with new updates - Ability to discuss and highlight key decisions taken - Daily/weekly digests with updates batched in a single email - Automated Slack notifications when a new update is posted - Bi-directional linking to create dynamic references between updates 2) A lightweight people directory that helps you better know where your team members are based, what updates they shared, how to get ahold of them for work, and any quick background they’d like to share. Every profile includes: - Basic info such as name, role, department, bio, etc. - Contact links: email, phone, twitter, linkedin, etc. - Location and time zone - Posts and comments history 3) A lightweight browser extension (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox supported) that makes your default browser “new tab” your new “company home” so that keeping up with new updates is ridiculously fast and easy. Includes: - Recently shared updates - Company (or team-wide) bookmarks - Company (or team-wide) time zones - Weekly b-days, anniversaries, or new hires Lastly, we have a special deal for the PH community -- with our launch, we're going to be limiting our free tier in the coming days. But, for Product Hunt companies < 15 employees that mention this post and sign up before the end of 2021, we'll continue to honor it.

Stefano here from Cloud Academy Inc. - we are a 200 people distributed tech company with people in 11 countries (US, EU, Canada, NZ, AU etc) and we have been using Pulse now for more than a year. Overall the product is great to align the entire organization, at different levels, on anything that goes from product releases or strategic decisions to discussion on specific projects. Streams are the perfect way to give everyone visibility on specific topics letting people follow that and contribute if/when needed. Example: we have an internal Stream where people can simply post new things they have released in our platform and everyone from CS to Sales or Marketing can follow that to be updated. With people across multiple time-zones, our main issue was moving to something asynchronous that did not have all the issues of emails and could help us track comms in one single place. Two features I personally love: 1) The ability to see how many people are reading and are up to date: it gives everyone an idea of how effective our communication is and it helps people understand if everyone knows about that update. This is particularly helpful for teams that are spread across the globe where you have 4-5 time-zones in the same team. 2) Pulse centralizes communication in one place. I love streams because they help the entire company organize information in a way that is simple to consume. Like many we have Slack as well, but we use Pulse for every piece of communication that needs to be available long term, discussed and communicated widely inside a team or even for the entire company.

Hi PH community, We’re excited to launch Pulse on Product Hunt today! During the last year, we worked with several companies with hybrid and distributed workforces to understand how to improve their internal communication. Building a good written culture is the foundation of any successful startup and it’s mandatory for fully distributed teams (even if you’re a pizza team). That’s why Pulse has been designed to be adopted by tiny teams, agencies, early-stage startups, and well-established companies. Here are 3 simple ways you can benefit from Pulse today: - Leadership comm: your leadership team will be able to communicate company priorities, directions and decisions to employees no matter when or where they are - Product/Engineering comm: your product and engineering team will be able to share ideas, customer feedback, or feature demos in the same place and discuss them asynchronously without being bogged down in unnecessary meetings - Sales/marketing comm: your sales and marketing teams will be able to stay more easily on top of product changes and communicate learnings and customer requests in an easy and effective way. So you can onboard salespeople faster, and equip them with the info to close more deals. Looking forward to having you onboard and reading your feedback. :)

Leonardo and team built something amazing here. I've been following their progress for the last two years and I think their product is the most fresh and thoughtful take on remote collaboration

I use Pulse to keep distributed teams in sync. So smooth I don’t see myself going back to traditional tools. Keep rocking!
