Pesto

Pesto is a startup that aims to reframe remote work as a more digitally native, authentically human experience. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in the United States, Pesto offers a platform for communication and collaboration using voice, video, and messaging, where users can interact through their avatars, allowing them to present their digital, authentic selves. This approach is positioned as a solution to make remote work less lonely and more effective.

Pesto differentiates itself from competitors such as Zoom and Slack by providing a more fluid and spontaneous communication experience, without the need for scheduling, and extending beyond simple text-based, async communications. Additionally, the platform emphasizes creating a more enjoyable and humane remote working environment, in contrast to the often soul-sucking and demoralizing nature of traditional remote working tools.

In its latest funding round on 01 February 2022, Pesto secured a $5.00M investment from notable investors Manu Kumar and Jett Fein. The company operates in the Information Technology sector and is poised to capture the growing demand for innovative solutions that enhance the remote work experience.
