Switchboard
The virtual workspace that keeps your team and tools in sync, even when you're not in a meeting.
What it does
Provides persistent virtual rooms that 'remember' the state of your work apps. Allows multiple users to interact with side-by-side web applications in real-time. Features high-fidelity video and audio for spontaneous or scheduled meetings. Includes shared multiplayer browsing for collaborative research and design. Organizes project-specific rooms to eliminate the need for re-sharing links.
Why it works
Context Preservation: Teams don't waste the first 10 minutes of a meeting finding the right files; they are already in the room. Tool Agnostic: It doesn't replace your tools; it unifies them in a single browser-based workspace. Deep Collaboration: Everyone can scroll, click, and edit tools simultaneously, not just watch a screen share. Efficiency: Reduces 'meeting fatigue' by allowing for a more natural, work-focused environment.

The virtual workspace that keeps your team and tools in sync, even when you're not in a meeting.
Overview
Switchboard is a high-end virtual coworking platform designed to move beyond traditional video conferencing. It provides 'persistent rooms' where teams can keep all their project apps—like Figma, Jira, and Google Docs—open and organized. Unlike Zoom, which starts and ends with a call, Switchboard allows teams to jump back into their work context instantly, making async and sync collaboration feel seamless.

Founder story
Founded in 2020 by Amir Salihefendić (founder of Doist) and a team of remote-work veterans. They realized that while video calls existed, there was no 'place' for remote teams to work together on their tools. They built Switchboard to solve the 'context switching' problem that plagues distributed teams.
