Although we decided to build a business with everyone under one roof, SV was built on remote working in the early days!
The switch from working in person together to working remote hasn’t been too challenging for us due to the fact we kept the same software and structure since day one. At this tough time, we thought it might be helpful to create a resource list of our go-to tools that help us continue working with a remote team.
*None of the below are affiliate links and we don’t get kickbacks in any way. The below is just based on our experience of working with every software under the sun over the past 4 years.
Slack
Pretty universal in this day and age. Great to keep conversations in one place and create break off communication with your team.

Hive
A lot of people haven’t heard about Hive. For us, it's a game-changer. It’s the internal CRM we use for everything workflow. Creating tasks, timelining tasks, emails, managing projects and so much more. It’s where we have every SOP and people can always see what everyone is working on.
A real gem - we couldn’t live without it!

Zoom
Who isn’t on zoom these days!?
We find this the best out of the “conferencing” platforms.
For us, it's been the most reliable and the fact it’s so smartphone-friendly is a great PLUS.
