    In every team on the planet, you'll find people recognizing one another for their hard-work. As communication shifts to messaging, Disco (formerly Growbot), one of the most installed and used apps on Slack and Microsoft Teams, aims to be the shift that encourages and captures that recognition, surfacing it to people and organizations in a meaningful way.

    At Disco, we're continuing the long tradition of improving communication between people. Since the earliest days of computing, people have built software to make communication more effective from email, to social networking, to instant messaging. In the last decade, mobile apps have pushed communication forward. In the next decade, messaging platforms will be the hotbed of innovation at home and at work.

    Spreading to over 3,500 companies and 150,000 users in a few short months, we’re laser-focused on reimagining how teams encourage and celebrate greatness @ work. We’ve found great partners to accelerate that growth, backed by General Catalyst, Inventus Capital, XSeed Capital, 500 Startups, and the Slack Fund (who see Disco as the thought leaders on building and scaling incredible messaging experiences that people love).

    We need people who share that standard of excellence as we expand Disco onto other platforms and look toward reimagining how people interact with their peers, managers, and companies at work. This $17B market is ripe for disruption as the shift to messaging changes how we interact with each other and work systems. Disco is at the epicenter of this shift.
