Email connected the world, but it lost its magic along the way. We believe it deserves better, and we're on a mission to bring email up to speed (literally) with modern messaging apps. Email should prioritize people, not advertising. Getting through your inbox shouldn't require busywork, and sending an email should be as fast as typing a text message. That's why we're building Shortwave: to recapture the magic of email with a beautifully designed product that works for everyone. Create channels to keep your team on-topic and make past conversations searchable. Instant delivery, typing indicators, and emoji reactions make conversations with other Shortwave users come to life. Use @-mentions to push notify the right people when you need them to join in. Shortwave connects to your existing Gmail account. Sign in today to get your inbox organized in minutes. You'll have the option to invite your teammates later.

OurPeople is a communication and engagement platform designed specifically for organizations with frontline, deskless, and dispersed employees who are often the hardest to reach with traditional workplace tools. Unlike email or chat apps that quickly become cluttered and inaccessible, OurPeople provides a secure, mobile-first hub where managers and team members can connect in real time. Companies use OurPeople to deliver announcements, send two-way messages via SMS or in-app, collect feedback through forms and surveys, and share essential documents or checklists all in one place. This approach eliminates the need for multiple disconnected systems and ensures every employee, regardless of location or access to a desk, stays informed and engaged. The platform also integrates with leading HR systems to automatically sync staff information, reducing manual work and preventing errors when employees join, leave, or change roles.
