What Hera does
Google Calendar is built on hypotheses that are now deprecated. Now that most of our meetings are virtual, there is a massive opportunity to remove frictions at each step of the lifecycle of these meetings, and finally make calendars actionable. From Hera, users can: - Schedule a meeting or share availabilities - Prepare a meeting with the right context on attendees and past discussions - Join a meeting in one-click - Snooze a meeting to make sure you don't forget to follow-up All of that without leaving the keyboard.

Calendar app to prepare, join and follow up on virtual meetings
We built Hera to make virtual meetings actionable throughout their lifecycle. Our app helps users schedule meetings or share availabilities, prepare with context about attendees and past discussions, join meetings in one click, and snooze meetings to remind themselves to follow up - all without leaving the keyboard.
We live and are based in Paris, Île-de-France, France and will continue to operate from there after YC.
Our team is based in Paris and the product is built for remote-first teams globally. Staying in Paris lets us keep close to our early users and leverage local talent while improving the core user experience for distributed work.
