tl;dv, a meeting platform to record, transcribe, and timestamp virtual meetings, has raised a €4.3 million seed round led by K Fund, with participation from existing investors Seedcamp, Mustard Seed Maze, and another.vc. The round is also joined by Shilling.vc, as well as other European founders and business angels, such as Oscar Pierre, co-founder and CEO of Glovo.
As a consequence of the online meeting craze created by hybrid and remote work, the demand for solutions to record meetings and share them with the wider team and company has soared since the beginning of COVID. “We’re still talking about how remote might be the future of work. However, the true macro-trend that’s accelerating is asynchronous collaboration at scale”, says co-founder and CEO, Raphael Allstadt.
Being passionate remote workers long before COVID, the founding team at tl;dv identified the potential of meeting recordings early on. Empowering meeting participants to record, transcribe and highlight important moments from any live meeting, tl;dv allows busy employees to stay in the loop on every important development within their company without even joining the meeting.
tl;dv positions itself as a horizontal product that adds value to every function and department within a company. Thanks to its simplicity and laser-focus on seamless collaboration, it aims to bring departments closer together, with fewer meetings. “Imagine giving new hires access to the Strategy Update from last month, even if they weren't yet part of the company at that moment. Imagine being able to amplify the Voice of the Customer far beyond your User Research or Customer Success team, directly to the Executives of your company, or the engineer that is actually building the solution. Imagine sharing the interview of a promising new candidate with the hiring manager without asking anyone to jump to another meeting. The possibilities and efficiencies thanks to tl;dv are endless” he continues.
With the financing, tl;dv doubles down on bundling live meeting insights across various meeting providers, adding Zoom to their already existing integration with Google Meet.
On top of that, tl;dv’s play is to surface the important moments from the platforms that teams already use to collaborate, as well as to offer integrations with productivity tools such as Slack, Notion and CRMs like Hubspot or Pipedrive. A third important element of tl;dv is the Discoverability, fueled by a powerful search engine that allows users to find any spoken word from any meeting.
Jaime Novoa at K Fund adds: “For a long time at K Fund, we’d been recording some of our internal meetings so that they could be consumed at a later time by those not able to attend. This exploded with the pandemic and hybrid forms of work. tl;dv brings this to another level and we’re obviously heavy users at the firm. It’s not only about the pure aspect of recording calls, but also about the way it integrates with other productivity tools such as Calendar, Notion, Google Docs, etc so that it becomes an essential part of the way we work”
After winning one of the prestigious Golden Kitty Awards on Product Hunt in 2021, tl;dv has amassed more than two hundred thousand users at companies like Genies, Vaynermedia, Byju´s and Superside.tl;dv is launching their latest Update, focusing on Zoom, on Product Hunt today.
