The problem we see is that companies in their transition from physical office to a virtual and distributed workplace carried over all the meeting habits that are outdated.
We believe there is no longer need in standing meetings with fixed audiences.
With Meetter, you are basically setting your weekly meetings budget for the whole company and let topics compete for that time. This is a lot different from what is happening today: meetings fight for all the available time on everyone's calendar.
Meetter hours are not finalized until 15 minutes before the start. High priority, smaller and shorter topics win. Meetter makes all meetings about what they should be: about solving problems, not about socializing & sharing updates - there are less expensive ways to do that.
Can tool change the culture? We are optimists and believe they can.

- genevpd 8y agoYes, I have personally struggled a lot. About 5+ years of experience working in a highly distributed company where meetings for me and many colleagues take more than 50% of the time. There a lot of advice out there on how to improve things, but it takes time to master. The other problem is that it is not something that only you need to learn, all your peers have to and that takes time. There are also limits to what you can do with existing technology. Compare the difficulty of doing project task tracking in MS Word versus JIRA/Trello/Basecamp. With meetings, we are still at MS Word stage and Meetter is a JIRA/Trello for meetings.
