Ara
Ara is a Barcelona-based startup building an asynchronous video meeting platform for remote and hybrid teams, letting teams record on-demand video threads with AI-generated summaries and action items instead of scheduling live calls. It is positioned as "richer than Slack, lighter than a meeting," targeting product, engineering, design, and leadership teams. Founded by two former Glovo/Meta/Snap engineers; the legal entity is Joeyapp S.L., and no external funding round has been publicly disclosed.
