We empower organizations and people to do the right things right.

In Parallel is a coordination layer for enterprise teams — the infrastructure that connects meetings to plans, plans to tools, and keeps everyone working from the same picture of reality.

The product joins your meetings, captures every decision and commitment, and updates your plan automatically. No one has to report up. The system already knows.

Founded in 2023, based in Helsinki and Munich.

Our mission

Management overhead is a systemic problem.

Our vision

Most management overhead isn’t necessary. Status updates, alignment meetings, update decks — that’s not leadership, it’s maintenance. We’re building the infrastructure to handle it automatically, so people spend time on decisions that actually need them.

Our mission

Empower organizations and people to do the right things right — every week, not just every quarter.

What that means in practice: We connect meetings, tools, and communications so your organization runs on what actually happened — not on what people remember.

Meet our leadership

Built by people who've felt this problem firsthand.

We’ve built enterprise software, run large product orgs, and sold into the market we’re now building for.
