Remi

What Remi does

Remi (legally Human First GmbH, registered at Torstraße 170, 10115 Berlin) is a Berlin-based SaaS company that provides a culture-building platform for remote and hybrid teams. The product is organized as a virtual team hub with two core modules: 'Rituals' — a curated library of asynchronous team-building activities such as Mood Check, Share Your World, Thank You Box, and Team Questions, which teams can also customize by setting name, participant count, cadence, and notifications — and 'Manual of Me,' a colleague profile feature that lets teammates share working preferences, interests, and communication styles. The platform is built around an asynchronous-first philosophy explicitly designed to mitigate 'Zoom fatigue' and integrates natively with Slack, with the company signaling that additional tool integrations are planned.

Remi employs 1-10 people (two co-founders: Rebecca Görres, leading Product, Engineering and Data, ex-LSE Organizational Psychology & Behavior Lab; Valerie Krämer, leading Acquisition, People and Finance, former Chief Revenue Officer at Opinary and former Twitter employee). The company operates a product-led growth (PLG) go-to-market with a freemium model — the website currently offers free beta/early access and no public paid pricing tiers have been disclosed. The underlying revenue model is planned SaaS subscription, but monetization has not been publicly activated. Customers to date are predominantly remote or hybrid technology companies (e.g., Tier, Odaline, GYG, Giantswarm, Lovoo, Workmotion) plus a few marketing-services adopters (e.g., Remazing, Faktor 3, Kaleme), with testimonials positioned as the primary proof point and earned-media coverage (Deutsche Startups, Tech.eu, Sifted, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Gründerszene, t3n, Personalwirtschaft) used for top-of-funnel awareness.

Remi was founded in 2021 and raised €1.2 million in pre-seed funding in June 2021, led by btov Partners (now b2venture) with participation from European angel investors, earmarked for hiring the founding team and product development. No follow-on funding rounds, revenue, ARR, or paying-customer figures are disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• Donut: Slack-native app that pairs teammates for coffee chats and intros — almost identical async-matching use case that Remi's interest-based matching targets, and the same self-serve Slack PLG channel.
• Officevibe: Team engagement surveys and pulse feedback targeting remote teams — competes for the same manager's culture budget, also onboarding-centric.
• 15Five: Continuous performance management platform with engagement and culture modules; sells into HR at remote-first tech companies and overlaps with Remi's culture value proposition.
• Bonusly: Peer-recognition and culture-engagement platform often integrated into Slack; replaces organic cultural reinforcement (the same need Remi rituals target) with structured recognition.
• Leapsome: Berlin-based engagement + performance + learning platform — same DACH/European mid-market customer and overlapping culture/engagement use cases.
• TINYpulse: Anonymous employee pulse surveys and engagement analytics; lightweight on-ramp for manager-led culture measurement that competes with Remi's mood-check rituals.

Broad incumbents

• Culture Amp: Enterprise-scale employee engagement and performance platform serving large HR organizations; overlaps Remi's culture use case but operates at much higher ACV and organizational complexity.
• Lattice: Performance + engagement platform with broad HR suite; competes for the same "people platform" budget at remote-first tech companies even though Remi sits at a lower-friction, lighter product layer.
• Workday Peakon: Enterprise engagement platform owned by Workday; same buyer (CHRO/People Ops), deeper integrations but heavier footprint and much larger price point.
• Microsoft Viva: Microsoft's employee experience platform (Connections, Topics, Insights) bundled with Microsoft 365; competes with Remi's virtual team hub thesis, especially inside Microsoft-shop enterprises.
