What GoComm does

GoComm, a Y-Combinator backed company, is a real-time communications and task management system for distributed workforces. Similar to what Yammer has done for office workers, we are doing for mobile teams, with an initial target market of the companies, venue operators and individuals who manage complex events of various sizes. GoComm brings to these workers a modern, integrated, task management and communications system that works immediately with their current mobile devices.
