Patrick is co-founder of Commons, a venture-backed startup building the future of enterprise audio. The product enables remote teams to have impromptu conversations as if they’re in the same room. Patrick and his co-founders, Aziz Kurt and Nazan Kurt, came together in May 2020 and realized that the way of working was changing before their eyes. Seemingly overnight, remote work became a new normal for millions. Yet there weren’t collaborative tools made for this paradigm, and it felt like we’re still in the “cubicle era”. To solve this problem, Commons enables teams to have interactions you’d have in the physical office, without needing to step foot in it. Previously, Patrick held product leadership roles at Google, Snap, Amazon, and several startups.
