We believe collaboration should feel human

We're on a mission to rescue the world's most creative teams from chaotic, disjointed, and exhausting virtual meetings.

Founded in 2023 by a group of facilitators and educators frustrated with generic video tools, BaobabSpaces was born out of a simple observation: most software treats meetings as passive broadcasts, rather than active, structured experiences.

We realized that the best collaboration happens when cognitive load is low and psychological safety is high. We set out to build a platform that handles the administrative burden of collaboration so leaders can focus purely on guiding the human connection.

Our Values

Human-Centered Design

We build software that gets out of the way, helping humans connect more authentically.

Facilitation Excellence

Every feature we craft is measured against its ability to improve process and session outcomes.

Continuous Learning

We treat our company like a cohort—constantly reflecting, adjusting, and growing together.

Inclusive Collaboration

Collaboration shouldn't require extroversion. We build tools that level the playing field.
