What is Floown?A fair question to ask.

The word Floown isn’t self-explanatory nor onomatopoeic.

It could be a sign of the times, following a trend in weirdly spelled names for tech companies.

Who knows. All that matters is that it tantalizes your fantasy. And that’s a good thing.

Now, for the straight answer… Floown is an internet tech startup, founded by three guys who had been bumping into problem after problem running their employment agency.

At the same time a lot of the physical boundaries that used to attach us to office are fading away. For most jobs or tasks, all you need is a laptop and an internet connection.

It’s actually a very simple solution.

This is what’s happening. All current scheduling tools, agenda apps and availability platforms are internal systems for the organization.

The organization decides when people have to come to work. That would make sense in a world where people work all their lives for the same company… But, as we have seen, that world will be gone not before long.

When you let individual people share their time by filtering out the available hours from the digital calendars they already use, you

Plus, Floown is a real platform. That means you can connect with multiple teams and only need one tool to communicate across teams and companies.

Or you can filter through the available hours of the people in all your connected teams and book the ones you need.

Whether you’re a freelancer working for multiple teams or a team leader for a company working with multiple people, it doesn’t matter. Organizations and team leaders get a real-time insight into the agendas of their people, while people still completely stay in control and keep their privacy.
