Sharpen Notes is a collaborative note-taking and productivity tool which has been launched as a Microsoft Teams app. It allows meeting attendees to make and share notes in real time without changing screens. When the meeting ends these notes are saved as a record which can be revisited or edited.
On top of that all the action items from the meeting are automatically synced to your tasks.

How did you come up with the idea for the company?

My lightbulb moment came from my work as an actor while trying to record myself practicing lines for a TV series and making notes on key moments in the script at the same time, but I soon realised that Sharpen Notes could benefit anyone in this new world of hybrid working.
Sharpen Notes is for everyone: whatever industry you鈥檙e in, or language you speak, it鈥檚 a practical solution to improve work life by ensuring that key points are not forgotten or missed when note-taking. Crucially, Sharpen Notes inspires teams to work more collaboratively and communicate in a more dynamic way throughout their video meetings.
