What Flow Club does

is a virtual co-working space where people work in high-intensity sprints designed to double their productivity. We envision a world where... - anyone can access deep, focused flow anytime, anywhere - working independently or remotely doesn’t have to feel like you're on your own Our mission is to build the software that powers the most inspiring and productive work environment for knowledge workers. Our members love Flow Club ( We’re growing quickly, just presented at Y Combinator's Summer 2021 Demo Day, raised $5M, and hiring our founding team. We are backed by Worklife Ventures, a firm investing in companies re-designing the way work gets done in the future, and 100 more of the world's best investors and operators. Among our investors are Paul Graham and the founders of iconic companies like Dropbox, Mercury, Quora, Outschool, and Sendbird. Finally, we are inspired by our members and hosts who we see everyday working out of Flow Club building the most incredible things. They remind us great things are built incrementally, one step at a time.

Virtual Co-working Community

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a virtual co-working space where people work together in focused sprints designed to double productivity. It's for knowledge workers who want to access deep flow states anytime, even when remote or alone. Our software hosts live work sessions that help people concentrate and stay motivated with others in real time.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company will be based here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team lives and where many remote and knowledge workers are based. It's the right place to build and grow this kind of remote productivity community.
