@muhammad_jaffar Congratulations on launching Litespace on Product Hunt! Your solution to improve corporate culture and employee productivity in hybrid work environments is very timely and relevant. Good luck with your mission to revolutionize the future of hybrid work!

@muhammad_jaffar That is the Litespace mission! In a time of low moral, companies need to boost employees emotion connection

@muhammad_jaffar Congratulations to you and the Lightspace team. This innovation will come very important to companies while they are trying to manage the hybrid model. Having flexibility and still feeling connected while catering to both employees and employers without the right infrastructure is very difficult. Well done folks

@muhammad_jaffar @abdi_jama3 Thank you Abdi! One thing we love to remind clients is to stay away from "mandatory" + "mandates". It is about nurturing culture and providing them the tools they need to be flexible and have the best office experience! πŸš€

Congratulations on the launch of Litespace! I wish you all the best in revolutionizing the future of work. Keep up the great work! What size teams do you think would best benefit from using Litespace?
Christian Cotroneo
@algrab Hi Sergei, thank you for the great question! From a company standpoint we are currently focusing on organizations that are (startups -> small/mid market) and then we will scale from there. For individual teams, there is no optimal number as even in a small team of 3, one of the employees could have lots of connections outside of their department that they want to be connecting with. Example would be someone in a sales function would want the opportunity to connect with people from product/marketing for both professional and social interactions. Let me know if this makes sense!
Enes Aktaş
Congrats on the launch!
Christian Cotroneo
@ensaktas Hoping we can stay in the top 3. Best of luck on your launch. I will follow!

Hey @muhammad_jaffar! Congrats on your PH launch! Litespace looks very promising in our hybrid-mode era. Are you currently focusing on small companies and start-ups or enterprise ones?
Muhammad Jaffar
@nikita_abrosimov1 Thank you Nikita! We are currently focusing on small companies and startups. But, we will be scaling to enterprises later this year!
Eric Rafat
Hey @muhammad_jaffar! Massive congrats to you and the team for the launch on this. This is a great one in the era of hybrid workplaces.
Christian Cotroneo
@muhammad_jaffar @foundereric Thank you Eric! You are the GOAT πŸ™Œ
Justin Johnson
Great insight that creates massive opportunity in the new era of working. Really like the UI. We have a lot of contractors. I could see how this could help consolidate some of that coordination. Can you invite anyone to join in the workspace?
Christian Cotroneo
@justin_govy Fantastic question! Yes, anyone that will be going to your office can be added to your workplace. Could depend if they have a different domain email but I am sure there is a solution! We even let people setup shared offices so you could even call your work place "WeWork" πŸš€
Muhammad Jaffar
@cotroneo61 @justin_govy Thank you, Justin! It won't just be anyone but you can invite any of your co-workers to your workplace!

Congrats on the amazing launch of Litespace on Product Hunt πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ I'm super excited to see how it can help companies manage their hybrid workspaces in an efficient and productive manner. Could you tell us a bit more about how Litespace can help with office scheduling and data-driven decisions? πŸ€”πŸ€“ I'm looking forward to seeing how it can revolutionize the future of hybrid work! πŸš€πŸ˜Ž
Christian Cotroneo
@paolo_degiglio Hi Paolo! Amazing question. For office scheduling, Litespace recommends what the optimal day is for an employee to go into the office based on 1. Their schedule and 2. Who else is going in? If a lot of people from your department or close colleagues from other teams are going in, it could promote to take those meetings in person. For data-driven decisions, this is focused more on the HR admin side where the owner can track what their office utilization is, most popular days, and time that people are at the office to help plan corporate events. Let me know if this helps!

re: > Open to learning more about your hybrid/remote experience one challenge i've found is that -- now that there are all these different options available, remote, in person, hybird -- there's a lot more coordination cost. vs before you'd just know you'd see ppl in the office. Curious how Litespace helps with that? Also, curious: what's Litespace's own company policy, and how did you arrive on that?

@stedmanblake Our team is currently remote with the other founders, but we plan on opening an office once we have employees. That is a huge challenge with many firms and the way we solve it is through scheduling. Having employee's preference and location information so we can generate your hybrid schedule ahead which allow you to plan for the office visit better!
Christian Cotroneo
@stedmanblake Best of luck on the upcoming launch! I love to use the analogy of creating social snowball affects. If you knew a head of time the c-suite or your department head was going it, I bet most people would give it 110% to get into the office for facetime. I don't have the exact stat but I am certain most employees feel less connected to their boss / management which can impact promotions / reviews. Would love your thoughts on this topic! That example is more professional but the good old days of 5:00 Ping-Pong in the lounge is something we want to revive. I was always one of the competitive guys in the office!
Stedman Blake Hood
@cotroneo61 Yep all makes sense - thanks for sharing! I've heard the phrase "remote tolerant" which tries to get at this idea that -- practically speaking -- there are more professional opportunities for those who get facetime w/ more of the team than those who do not. I like this because it doesn't try to makes some artificial parity - it accepts the reality and ensures that teammates know what they're signing up for in either case.
Christian Cotroneo
@stedmanblake I couldn't agree more and I don't think people call this out as a major disadvantage of working fully remotely. Especially if you are the single person in a team from another city. You kind of become an outsider and how much can performance really makeup for that?
Allen Asagib
I like this idea, are there existing ways to generate people’s in-office schedules?
Christian Cotroneo
@asagib1 Great question Allen. There are tools out there that can help support in office scheduling but we feel Litespace is the most seamless, easy to use (not a chore / smart features) and focuses on connecting you with the people that matter. Most competitor tools say "hey go in Monday". Litespace does does not stop there. We tell you the "Why'. Go in Tuesday because 3 of your close colleagues + the CEO! Friday there is a lunch and learn!

Congrats on the launch, much needed tool in the new normal.

Congrats on the launch, would love to check this out for my hybrid team. We have been struggling with event planning.
Christian Cotroneo
@alextxt See my comment above! Events are posted on the company homepage so something as a @3:00 stretch in the kitchen to even Axe Throwing is just scratching the surface. The event planner can even create a poll to suggest times if it is for a larger group setting! Feel free to message me and I would be happy to chat!

Interesting, I am wondering if you guys have considered a solution for remote?
Christian Cotroneo
@maxwellr So happy you mentioned this! Our main "focus" has been on hybrid work but for full remote companies we have some high level ideations. 1. How can we connect fully remote workers to a central location to meet for coffee / lunch / events. 2. Does the company use a shared office space? We can already tackle this as Litespace allows you to setup multiple offices and add capacity
Usama Ejaz
Excellent work! Looking forward to hearing more about Litespace and the positive impact it has on hybrid workspaces.
