Last week, we soaked up the sun in Scottsdale, Arizona for our latest company offsite! 🌵We love these moments when we get to pull back, think big, and enjoy time together as we explore a new city. The best part? Coming home doesn't mean losing momentum. We’re bringing all that energy straight back to virtual Gather HQ to hit the ground running. ✨
Gather
Technology, Information and Internet
Bring the best of in-person collaboration to distributed teams.
About us
Gather gives distributed teams a virtual office, a place where you can collaborate like you're in person. In addition to video calls and chat, you can stop by someone's digital desk or wave people over to join conversations in real time. It's a way to bring back natural communication to the overly scheduled life of remote work.

⚠️ PSA for voice actors: there's a scam going around where someone is impersonating a Gather employee to request voiceover services. This is NOT us. Our team will always reach out from an @gather.town email address — never a Gmail account. If you've received a message like this, please don't respond (or feel free to report to us in a DM). We're sorry this is happening, and want to make sure our community stays safe ❤️

Today we're sharing a big update about the future of Gather. Since day one, our mission has been to remove physical barriers from opportunity and connection. That mission isn't changing, but how we pursue it is. The Gather you know and love will remain an independent, non-venture-backed business. We're laser-focused on building the best virtual workspace for distributed teams, with many of our tenured team members staying to make that happen. Meanwhile, the Gather AI team is joining Figma to push the boundaries of how people design and build software together. We're so proud of what they accomplished at Gather, and can't wait to see what they build at Figma! For everyone using Gather today: Nothing changes. We're grateful for your trust and excited to keep building with you. Thank you for believing in a better way to work remotely. We couldn't be more excited about what comes next!

"Remote doesn't have to feel distant." That's what it's all about 👏
The last 18 months have been a huge period of growth for our team. We’re a globally distributed crew, which brings incredible talent into the business, but it also means we have to be intentional about connection and culture. Introducing Gather virtual workspace has been a game-changer for how we connect and collaborate day to day. It’s more than a virtual office. It’s where conversations happen naturally, collaboration feels easy, and culture shows up in the small moments. I absolutely love how everyone has designed their own office spaces - it sounds insignificant, but that sense of ownership and presence makes a real difference when your team isn’t physically together. If you’re building a remote team and missing the human side of an office, Gather is well worth a look. Remote doesn’t have to feel distant when the environment is right. 🌎

"Quick questions actually become quick again because you can virtually walk over 🙌" Exactly the way it should be, even for remote teams 👏
We’ve been experimenting with a virtual office setup for about a week now. Not because we needed another tool. But because hybrid work still has an unsolved problem: Spontaneity. In a physical office, you walk over. Ask a question and clarify something in 30 seconds. In remote or hybrid setups, that often turns into a Slack message, waiting, another message, and eventually a call. What surprised me is how much friction disappears when “being around” becomes visible again. You see who’s there. You get a feel for availability. Quick questions become quick again because you can virtually walk over 🙌🏻 Coworking sessions also hit differently. Camera on. Mic off. Everyone focused, but not alone. And that matters more than we like to admit. But tools don’t fix broken culture 💡 If focus isn’t respected, if availability is expected all the time, if trust is missing, no virtual office will help. Structure and trust are non-negotiable in hybrid teams!!! But real performance only scales when people think like a team. Otherwise, you don’t have a team. You have a group of solo performers sharing a Slack workspace. Curious to hear your take. What actually improved collaboration in your hybrid setup? And what sounded great, but didn’t survive reality?
