Gatheround Acquired By Donut To Fill a Hole in Their Product Strategy

December 3, 2024

We know, we know, #DadJoke. Couldn’t help it. But appropriate because the Gatheround team built with both focus and joy. They had a vision for what employee engagement, collaboration and conversation could look like that went beyond the standard video conference or all hands slide show. And culture-forward customers like Lyft, Gusto, Salesforce, Cisco and others all agreed.

Ultimately, to reach the largest number of customers, Gatheround believed it could be an important part of a like-minded company’s business, versus going it alone. Gatheround CEO and cofounder Lisa Conn threw herself into this discovery process in a manner which impressed us and further solidified our view of her as a founder, leader, and executive we want to work with repeatedly. And when Donut raised its hand as a ‘best fit’ home, Homebrew enthusiastically supported the combination.

Congratulations to the Donut leadership. You added a great product and team that will hopefully take your business to even greater heights.
