Founder story
Bubbles was founded in 2019 by Tom Medema in San Francisco, California. Drawing from his experience as a former CTO scaling distributed engineering teams, Medema experienced firsthand the friction of excessive real-time meetings and context switching. He created Bubbles to shift workplace communication toward asynchronous, visual collaboration that preserves contextual feedback and deep work.
