Connects Slack, Teams & Webex chat apps
We build Mio, a platform that lets teams using Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Webex Teams chat together without switching apps. Our product syncs messages and channels across these platforms so users can work with colleagues however they chat, without duplication or losing context.
We live in Austin, Texas, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Austin has a strong tech talent pool and vibrant startup scene. It's where we live and work, so it's natural for us to stay and build Mio here.
