Origin Story

By Joe Thomas & Vinay Hiremath & Shahed Khan

The Problem

Too many meetings could have been a video. But recording, uploading, and sharing video was too slow. Loom made it instant.

Building It

Founded in 2015. Grew explosively during COVID/remote work. Acquired by Atlassian in 2023 for $975M.

What It Means

Async video replaced millions of unnecessary meetings. Record once, share with everyone, they watch when they can.

The Dream

To make video messaging as natural and common as text messaging.
