Details
Calendly is THE scheduling link. Tope Awotona bootstrapped it for 8 years with $200k of his own money before taking investment in 2021. Now has 20M+ users. Not the most innovative anymore, but it just works and everyone recognizes it.
Whereby is video calls without the download dance. Just share a link, people click, they’re in. Founded by Ingrid Ødegaard, grew organically to customers in 175 countries. Great for quick calls where you don’t want to make people install yet another app.
