We are the team behind an online interactive events platform that connects people in a more authentic way.
Spread across over 25 countries and spanning all 24 time zones, Remo is the team that never sleeps so we can support your success.
Before Remo ever existed...
When our founder and CEO, Hoyin Cheung, would leave an online meeting, he couldn't shake the feeling that he just couldn't connect with people in the same way that he could connect with someone in the real world.
Worse yet, he noticed time and again that social media had actually become anti-social.
So he asked a simple question:
What's stopping us from cultivating online relationships that are every bit as deep, meaningful, and enriching as relationships that develop in-person?
Out of that question, Remo's mission was born...
We set out to transform the experience of connecting, communicating, and collaborating with people across the globe by "humanizing" online interactions.
From our very scrappy beginnings, we took a human-centered approach to developing new ways of engaging online.
Energizing the virtual environment...
...because the environment creates the emotional context for a conversation
That's why the Remo platform was designed from the ground up to feature customizable floor plans – from a serene beach to a vibrant conference room to an electrifying stadium to an intergalactic spaceship and much, much more.
And that’s how Remo creates the ambiance for crucial conversations without international travel or disruptive logistics.
Celebrating the freedom of movement...
Surprisingly, many platforms create user fatigue and dread of “yet another” virtual meeting by forcing users into artificially restrictive virtual spaces – like “breakout rooms” that aren’t really rooms.
In contrast, we recognized how vital it is to engage people's natural desire to explore, and to experience the freedom of choice about where to go and with whom to engage.
That’s why we’re dedicated to innovating technology that nurtures our natural enthusiasm to engage in authentic conversations that lead to meaningful relationships.
We know we’re on the right track and hitting the right notes, because from a tiny five member team at the beginning of 2020, Remo exploded in a good way.
We're now a team almost 100 strong, supporting more than 66,000 event hosts from more than 105 countries, who have hosted over 3.78 million Virtual Events on our platform!
We’re excited to be a trailblazer in this booming industry as we boldly wave the “People First!” flag to connect people around the world in ways that rival the in-person experience.
