Employee connection programs built for how tech companies actually work
Tech companies move fast, grow faster, and lose employees who never built real relationships before burnout set in. CoffeeChats.ai runs automated coffee chat programs inside Slack, connecting engineers, PMs, designers, and operators across teams and offices without adding to anyone's to-do list.

Slack-native
No new platform for employees to learn
Remote and hybrid work has made the accidental hallway conversation impossible. The informal networks that used to form naturally in offices now require intentional infrastructure. CoffeeChats.ai provides that infrastructure: a recurring matching program that operates in the background while your team ships.
We've worked with tech companies from 50-person startups to 10,000-person enterprises. The common pattern: fast growth creates silos, onboarding gets deprioritized, and senior employees have never met the people two floors down in their own building. A well-run coffee chat program changes that dynamic in weeks.
How Technology organizations use CoffeeChats.ai
Cross-team coffee chats
Match engineers with PMs, designers with data scientists, and sales with engineering to break down silos and improve cross-functional understanding.
New hire onboarding buddies
Automatically trigger buddy matches when new employees join Slack. New hires get connected with a relevant peer in their first week.
ERG and DEI programs
Run separate programs for Women in Tech, LGBTQ+ groups, and other ERGs with privacy-first matching and executive ally programs.
Manager skip-level programs
Connect individual contributors with senior leaders for informal conversations that replace formal town halls with something more personal.
Remote-first team building
For distributed teams across timezones, CoffeeChats.ai handles scheduling complexity automatically and ensures remote employees are not left out.
Customer advisory board connections
Introduce customer advisory board members to each other and to your team through structured virtual coffee chats.
What CoffeeChats.ai does for technology organizations
Slack-native experience
Employees receive a friendly Slack DM. No new app, no browser tab, no login. Matches happen where work already happens.
Scales with headcount
The same infrastructure that works at 50 people works at 5,000. Pricing scales with your team so you don't pay for what you don't need.
SOC 2 Type II ready
Enterprise-grade security controls, SSO support, and privacy-by-design architecture satisfy infosec reviews at the largest tech companies.
Engineering-friendly setup
OAuth-based Slack integration, HRIS webhooks, and a clean admin API mean your engineering team can configure this in an afternoon.
"We went from a company where engineering and product never spoke informally to one where cross-team coffee chats are a regular part of the culture. CoffeeChats.ai made that switch take weeks, not years."
