Teleport 推出新工具 Flock,帮助远程办公员工寻找线下会议地点
Teleport 是一家获得了安德森-霍洛维茨投资的创业公司,其创始人是 Skype 的多名早期员工。该公司的理念是,企业员工可以自由搬迁至他们认为最适合的城市或乡村 。
Teleport 已经开发了 一整套工具 ,帮助科技行业工作者计算,在考虑住房成本以及对保证生活质量必需的开支之后,他们最终的净收入是多少。
目前,Teleport 推出了 一款名为 Flock 的新工具 ,瞄准团队分布在全球各地的创业公司。
这款工具的概念并不复杂。
只要输入你团队成员的位置信息,那么该工具将可以计算出最便捷、成本最低的线下会议地点。
Teleport 认为,目前许多创业公司从一开始就拥有分布式的团队。随着硅谷等地住房和办公地产成本的上涨,因此创业者可能不会将整个团队全部安置在这些地区,尤其是当公司员工的关系网、家庭和熟悉的社区位于其他地区时。
以往,类似 WordPress 的公司曾围绕分布式远程团队搭建了整个系统,建立了公司文化,但一些更年轻的公司也在跟随这一趋势。两天前,丹尼·克里奇顿(Danny Crichton)曾 在专栏中介绍过两个项目 ,即 RemoteYear 和 Hacker Paradise,谈论了这样的“数字游牧民族”。
Got A Team Distributed All Over The World? Teleport’s Tool, Flock, Finds You A Meeting Hub
The thesis behind Teleport, a new Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup from a group of early Skype alums, is that workers should be free to migrate to whichever city and country suits them best.
They’ve been slowly building out a suite of tools that help digital workers figure out where they can maximize their take-home pay after accounting for costs like housing and finding amenities that match a person’s preferences for quality of life.
Now they’re aiming at startups with teams distributed across the world with a new tool called Flock.
The concept isn’t very complicated.
Just enter in where all of your team members are based and it will identify the most convenient and affordable place to have a face-to-face meeting.
Teleport is betting that an increasing number of companies are beginning with distributed teams from day one. As the cost of housing and office space in areas like Silicon Valley rises, it may not really make sense for founders to base their entire team here, especially if prospective hires have talent networks, families or communities elsewhere in the world.
While there are older companies like WordPress that have built entire systems and a corporate culture around distributed and remote teams, younger companies are starting to take heed as well.Two days ago, Danny Crichton wrote a column about two programs called RemoteYear and Hacker Paradise, that are catering to this digitally nomadic demographic.
