Sync without Zoom fatigue.
Keep distributed squads across Lagos, Nairobi, London, and Accra in sync without draining their energy on 45-minute daily meetings. Kola runs async standups, weekly wins, and Secret Santa directly inside your Slack or Teams channels.
How async standups look in practice
No awkward camera stares. Teammates answer on their own schedule; Kola rolls it up into one clean channel digest.
☀️ Daily Standup Digest · 8 of 8 teammates checked in:
Shipped: Shipped the new checkout endpoint with zero regression errors.

Unlimited Kola Groups: Keep local culture local
Not every event needs to spam the entire 200-person general channel. Create isolated spaces for departments, local city chapters, and project teams.
City Chapters
Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, London, or Kigali. Run local dinners, after-work drinks, and public holiday recognitions scoped only to that city.
Departments & Squads
Engineering, Growth, Product, or Customer Success. Each team configures its own cadence, questions, and summary channel destinations.
Seasonal Gift Exchanges
Run Secret Santa or White Elephant gift exchanges without exposing private match assignments. Attach a voluntary Kola Pot for communal budgets.

Activate with 1 click or customize questions to fit your team's unique banter.
