Fosbury is a more enjoyable and efficient way for engineering and product teams to communicate.

We grew frustrated with how noisy, shallow and out-of-step messaging tools are with the way teams actually work today.

It is rare to find a top product company in Silicon Valley that truly works asynchronously, yet nearly all of them describe themselves that way. Slack is still open all day and the pings keep arriving.

We believe engineering problem solving and product work is exactly the kind of work that requires depth and focus.

So, we built the opposite! Speed and zero friction: keyboard-first, no loading states between you and the thought you are trying to send. Structure by default: public channels only, and conversations can be prioritized, assigned, resolved and closed, so a thread has a state and an outcome, not just a scroll position. Async by default: nothing here assumes you are online, rewards you for being online, or punishes you for being away.

Public alpha, free during alpha: https://fosbury.ai

This is just the start! Thanks for reading <3 Would love the chat!

this looks like a really interesting replacement for slack. Is this ready to be picked up by a small start-up?

    Yes! but we are only working with design partners willing to "pay" a 30 minute feedback session per week.

    In the site you can schedule 30 minutes with me. speak soon!
