Snapshot: Fleep

Can you explain how Fleep works?

Fleep works like any text-messaging service, but with the twist that it can be included in a conversation with anyone by adding them with their email address. If that person is not a Fleep user, Fleep sends all messages to them as normal emails and their replies are converted back to Fleep as a conversation flow. In addition to sending text messages, users can share files and images, or put messages on their pin boards so they won’t get lost in the flow.

Why did you form Fleep?

We left Skype and started building Fleep because we saw that we could create a tool that helps people collaborate better than the ones on the market. We saw that the existing tools were built for internal users of a system and fall short when work needs to get done. When people find themselves working across different organisations they give up and switch to email. We want to change that.
