As of October 22, 2024, we've extended our bi-weekly company meeting by 15 minutes to include a dedicated product demo segment. This segment is an integral part of our regular company meeting, occurring in the same time slot and using the same Zoom ID.

ℹ️ Overview

Showcasing our product improvements during company meetings is crucial for galvanizing the entire team around what we're building. These demos not only highlight our progress on key company initiatives but also serve as a powerful tool for team enablement, ensuring everyone understands and can articulate the value we're delivering to our users. By integrating product demos into our regular meetings, we reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement and keep our product at the forefront of our collective focus.
