Part-Time Sales/Business Development Intern
Kona - the AI-powered internal leadership coach for remote companies.
Our founding team bonded over prior bad experiences with remote work. We knew work could be better, healthier, and happier.
So we turned to experts. We've interviewed 1500+ leaders since January 2020.
Their pain was loud and clear. Managing a remote team is hard. Itâs difficult to be a great leader, and managers are the most overworked and under-resourced members of an org. They need support.
â
We built đś Kona to help remote managers be great leaders without changing how they work. Kona empowers leaders to manage their teams with the right balance of empathy and accountability.
To us, empathy and great leadership at work aren't just an add-on. They're a must-have.
Kona is an AI-powered personal leadership coach for every remote manager. It integrates with your companyâs internal content, performance review platform, calendar, and more to operate as each managerâs personal management copilot. It helps managers prepare for 1:1s, develop and grow their team, give effective feedback, build engagement, and drive long-term success â all without needing to leave Slack.
We're making every manager a great leader.
Weâre Techstars alums, and raised $5.2M from Unusual VC, Kleiner Perkins, Zillow founder Spencer Rascoff, Amazon exec Jeff Wilke, The Fund, and more.
Our customers are the most culture-focused, people-first companies in the world. Check out our case studies for more on how Kona helps remote managers lead their teams effectively.
