SoWork is the world's first virtual co-working space. Teammates, friends, and collaborators can freely use this space to interact with one another via proximity video chat. The platform comes with video, audio, chat, integrations, and enterprise-grade security, as well as custom maps and avatars. SoWork can also layer tools such as Slack, Google Calendar, Zoom, Twitter, Okta, etc. into one's virtual office. SoWork began after CEO Vishal Punwani and his co-founders decided to build a machine learning edtech company. While building, Punwani’s team found that they needed a better way to communicate. So combining their love for building and gaming, the group put together an internal communication product inspired by virtual worlds. Eventually, the team’s internal communication tool began growing faster than their external edtech one. The startup eventually rebranded and pivoted to a virtual HQ platform. [2]
