Closer brings all your communication in one place. It's real-time talking and collaborating to build a winning culture for distributed companies. "Closer is more important than Slack for us: For Slack there are alternatives (email), for Closer there isn't. It has been a game changer for me & my co-founder (we live 4-5h apart) and we owe our deep relationship in many ways to it. I was sceptical if we can scale a remote culture, but with Closer I think we absolutely can! Keep up the great work!"
