Berlin-based remote-team culture-building platform Remi raises €1.2 million in pre-seed round

The round also saw participation from angel investors including Tim Schumacher (Eyeo), Georgie Smallwood, CPO at TIER (as part of the Accel Starter programme), Emma Tracey, co-founder at Honeypot, former VP Finance at Personio, Michael Kuntz, and Trivago Founder Rolf Schrömgens. Founded in early 2021 by Valerie Krämer, Rebecca Görres, and Franco Gotusso, Remi helps remote teams build culture and connection through a series of daily and weekly team-building activities. Remi’s thinking is based on scientifically proven models that encourage habits formed through repeated interactions and nudges, thus building strong connections within teams. With 41% of employees reporting that they would consider leaving their employer in 2021 for a company that offers remote work, Remi is sitting in the middle of what could be a highly lucrative market. The tool is already sparking interesting conversations every day and giving us helpful context and insights into non-work-related parts of our colleague’s lives,” comments GetYourGuide’s Engineering Team Lead Nicolò Pignatelli.
