Our take
Remote working is becoming the norm for many companies, but without the right tools, communication and connectivity between team members can suffer. SoWork solves this problem with its first-of-its-kind metaverse for coworking.
SoWork's founders first met playing World of Warcraft. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they decided to leverage their knowledge of gaming to create a virtual communication tool for teams. By offering a beta version to companies such as Tinder, the team has been able to rapidly scale its R&D and lengthen its lead over would-be competitors. This includes big-name coworking tools like Slack, which is transitioning from a messaging facility to a virtual HQ.
SoWork has continued to gain traction even as companies begin to move back into the office. Despite this return to in-person workplaces, the company is banking on a larger transition into digital co-working. It believes that virtual offices will soon offer more employee perks and advantages, and companies (even those in growth stage) will be eager not to miss out.
