ABOUT FATHOM

We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes to remember and share insights from their meetings.

Notes are time-consuming and stressful to create while trying to hold a conversation. Even when done well, notes are a poor solution compared to hearing something first-hand.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we\'ve built so far :

#1 Highest Satisfaction Product of 2024 on G2

#1 Rated on G2 with 4,500+ reviews and a perfect 5 / 5 rating

#1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

Most installed AI meeting assistant on both the

Zoom

and

HubSpot

marketplaces

We’re hitting usage and

revenue records every week

We\'re growing incredibly quickly, so we\'re looking to grow our small but mighty fully remote team.
