Mission

The future of the workplace is one built on top of voice and video collaboration. Our mission is to help people complete and automate business operations with just their voice. We type at 50 words per minute but can speak at 150 words per minute. Voice can allow us to turn talk into actions instantly.

Organization

We are building a globally distributed, remote first workplace from day 1. The Fireflies team is based in 5 different countries in 9 different locations. Remote work allows us to hire a diverse team to build a product that takes into consideration all types of users from across the globe. With the recent pandemic, companies have had to adapt to COVID-19 and make their teams work remotely.

The rise of remote communication & collaboration tools has further increased the need for a platform like Fireflies to organize all the different conversations that happen in meetings. Whether that is recruiting remotely, selling remotely, or managing the team remotely, Fireflies creates an automated knowledge base of all the meetings that are easily searchable and shareable.
