- 5. SKYPE FOR SCREEN SHARING • It's a good tool because a lot of people are familiar with it. • First impressions are crucial: you don't want to spend 5 minutes of your meeting explaining to a potential customer how to use the app.
- 6. JOIN.ME TO REPLACE SKYPE • The main issue with Skype is the quality of the image and its tendency to lag when you share your screen. • This is why we are currently testing Join.me.

- 8. GOOGLE DRIVE – ALL DOCS IN ONE PLACE • Google Drive is great for sharing and also as a repository. • We use for documents that need to be used multiple times. • The only annoying part is Google tends to frequently modify the user interface.
- 9. BALSAMIQ FOR MOCKUPS • Balsamiq is a lightweight tool we use to design our wireframes. • We like it because of its simplicity and limited features, which force us to focus on what matters.
- 10. BITBUCKET FOR DEVELOPERS • Our engineers use Bitbucket to manage, share and store code. • The platform is great for reviewing and fixing bugs. However, all the features related to product management happen on Trello.
- 11. FINALLY • Working at a startup is hard, and not for the faint of heart. • But at the same time your team should know when to relax and take a break. Don’t forget to visit our blog www.keepek.com/blog
