What We Do

Teamstand exists to solve the problems of lost communication and app overload. We focus on brining structure to unstructured communications and brining key information from multiple systems in context with discussions. Simplicity is at the heart of our design ethos; we believe the customer journey to the new and unknown should feel common along the way. That's why we aren't building an app experience but rather deliver our product where our customers live and communicate today.
