The World of VITALIZE

• We are excited to announce VITALIZE's latest investment in Murmur, a Colorado-based firm helping companies make better, quicker decisions. Murmur does not replace or add itself to the large and growing list of existing platforms companies use today - instead, it integrates with the products already in use (Slack, gSuite, Notion, etc.) and the workflows that power them.

  • ASK + OPPORTUNITY: Murmur is looking for teams to beta test their DecisionBot in Slack. If you are a remote-first, Series B+ company and use Slack A LOT, check it out here (completely free!)
