I’m absolutely in love with products that prioritize employee wellbeing. We’ve been using Kona for a long time now and I have to say it’s insanely impressive. When Kona pops in and let’s me know HOW a team member prefers to communicate, it’s kind of a magical moment for me. Love this team and product, and everything they stand for.

@jmitch Thanks for the note Justin, & thanks for hunting us! Y'all over at Yac are genuinely the GOATs :)
Baadier Sydow
I'm struggling to find pricing?
Yen Tan
@baadier We do $50/manager/month for managers in our cohort! We can also do custom plans for annual contracts and for companies with 10+ teams.
Sahil Khosla
Congrats on launching Sid, Corine and Andrew! Every manager can benefit getting more visibility into their team's psyche and they should be encouraged to check in with folks on a more human level
Andrew Zhou
@sahilkhosla14 Thanks Sahil! We 100% agree :)
Yen Tan
@sahilkhosla14 Thanks so much, Sahil. Empathetic teams are the best teams.
Siddharth Pandiya

Annie Yan
@ke5havrao Thank you Keshav! We're so excited about building the Future of Work!
Tim Yu
Super talented founding team and such a much needed product in today’s remote work environment! Love the branding too. Can’t wait to see where this goes (to the moon 🚀)!
Yen Tan
@tim061693 You're the best, Tim! This means so much coming from you!
Carsten Meyer
Really ....you are launching with a Typeform for a Slack App?
Andrew Zhou
@ca_me Yes! Sounds a little weird at first — Slack apps are supposed to be lightweight, right? There's actually a lot to Kona under the surface that we want to cover in a 15-minute consultation, & we like to offer general culture best practices we've collected through interviewing more than 500 remote managers & working closely with executive coaches. Let me know if you want to give it a try! :)
Varun Arora
Congrats on the launch! Excited to see what's in store.
Andrew Zhou
@itsvarora Thanks Varun! We have a lot more planned down the line, stay tuned :-)
Annie Yan
@itsvarora Thank you so much Varun! We're excited as well :-)
Hunter McKinley
This looks amazing. Is there any plans for a Zapier integration?
Andrew Zhou
@huntermoonshot Maybe one day we'll launch a "Kona + Zapier" product ;-)
Anli Kotze
Looks great. Where can I look at pricing?
Andrew Zhou
@anlikotze Hey Anli! We're running a cohort-style trial for 30 days for only ProductHunt users, then after that it's $50/mo/team.
Miles Montes
Excited for @pandiyasid @itscorine @andrewthezhou as this is an amazing team that continued to execute and truly build an amazing brand and product that the world so desperately needs! Build and lead teams with intentional empathy. Cant wait to see what this company and team looks like a year from now!
Andrew Zhou
@pandiyasid @itscorine @milesnextdoor Thanks so much Miles, we appreciate you!
Tania Mulry
Very excited to see Kona expanding and this team flourishing. They've hit on a huge need at the perfect time.
Robyn Ward
Developing and sustaining high-performing teams is HARD. Even harder remote. Love this take on EQ in the workplace for better managers and teams!
Yen Tan
@robyn_ward You're so right. That's what 500+ interviews with remote managers told us. It's an honor to tackle this problem and build a more EQ-centric workforce!
Jordan Walker
Big fan of this product and the team behind it! In fact, we even have Kona installed inside of our own workspace. Congrats on the launch!
Andrew Zhou
@jordanlwalkerrr Thanks for the note Jordan! Y'all are killin it too :)
Suraya Shivji
I love this and totally want it!! Any plans to support multiple timezones and teams distributed across diff countries?
Siddharth Pandiya
@surayashivji thank you! We actually already support those - it was one of our most requested features. Our customers with globally distributed teams have the checkins set up for the morning in whichever timezone you're in :)
Welly Mulia
I think this is a great app for remote teams to bond better. Have applied for a spot via your site and can't wait to get started!
Andrew Zhou
@welly_mulia Thanks Welly, we'll get back to you ASAP!
Joshua Pinter
More important now than ever before. Mental and emotional health with remote teams is difficult to monitor, measure and improve, especially for non-managers. Any help to improve this is greatly appreciated.
Andrew Zhou
@joshuapinter Thanks Josh! We 100% agree :)
