Remo
Human-first virtual events and remote offices — top-down 2D spaces with always-on video rooms.
About
Remo is a virtual event platform built by a fully remote team for everyone else going remote. Founded by CEO Ho Yin Cheung — who spent years building remote teams for Fortune 100 companies — it recreates the event venue as a top-down 2D map of interactive rooms, each with always-on video chat, so attendees can pop in and out of conversations the way they would at a real conference. Remo says it has hosted 79,000 virtual and hybrid events over three years with 7.6 million participants, and names Google, MIT and Shopify among its customers (all provider-reported).
Cheung grew the company from 5 to over 100 people, all working globally, and has described how pandemic demand for virtual events spiked 1,300% — enough that the company stopped fundraising entirely and ran on revenue. Use cases span webinars, alumni events, job fairs and poster sessions, with a separate virtual-office product for distributed teams.

Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (TIER metrics, metrics-v1). Evidence: founder Ho Yin Cheung's background and the company's 5→100 remote-team growth documented in interviews; 79,000 events and 7.6M participants reported in Remo's own 2023 release. Strengths: revenue-funded independence through the pandemic boom, credible customer names, purpose-built event UX rather than repurposed meetings. Docked for: (1) headline customer and event numbers are provider-reported without independent audit; (2) post-pandemic virtual-event demand normalized, thinning the moat; (3) pricing and plan detail are gated. License: proprietary SaaS; trial available, paid plans tiered by event size.
