How are startups working today?
Our team @Coops_First works hybrid – we can come into the office when we want or work remotely when we want. With my childcare happening at my home (my in-laws taking care of my kids) having a place to go to the office has been good for me. #startupchats

Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Sign both offer the mobility needed in today’s modern hybrid environment.
Need to work from a desktop? Done.
Tablet? Done.
Mobile phone? Done.https://t.co/LFTza8PZOD #StartupChats pic.twitter.com/ZNQvoZd2dh— Stephanie Romano (@AdobeCAMStephR) August 31, 2022
YAAS the pandemic had us all open up our creativity to work effectively and closely even though we were apart! Our team operates on hybrid, leveraging virtual workspace and meeting in person too on FUN socials. #StartupChats

What makes up the founder’s digital toolbox?
Sign and Pro have integrations with Microsoft solutions to make your team’s work lives that much simpler.
The Microsoft Teams integrations are user friendly and allow you to do your work in one place. Collaboration has never been easier.https://t.co/m61W1L6oVn #StartupChats

A3: Virtual meetings on the daily. Zoom, Teams, Google Meet. And we use Teams for our back and forth messaging on our team. I have done the odd virtual conference which were a bit mixed and one virtual tradeshow as a vendor.

A3: The usual suspects, ZOOM, Google Chat. A really neat tool for polling people to make video a little more interactive is Mentimeter. We use this for team meetings sometimes. #StartupChats

What is missing when it comes to digital transformation?
A6: Lofty but – it can be difficult to find the right people, vendors, and services for your business. It seems like there is a neverending sea of potential and yet we often still rely on people we know to provide recommendations.

A4. The fact that customers all want to work differently – there’s no single process. It’s our responsibility as entrepreneurs to work the way customers want to work – but it isn’t always the most efficient way to work for our organizations #StartupChats

Invoices, finances, and contracting are always a huge spot where we see effectiveness decrease
