Our story
Communication should be yours to control
Tektite was founded on a simple belief: teams do their best work when they own their tools, their data, and the way they collaborate.
Why we built Tektite
We spent years watching teams struggle with the same trade-off: adopt a hosted platform and hand over your data, or cobble together self-hosted tools that feel a decade behind. Neither option was good enough.
So we started Tektite to prove it doesn't have to be that way. We're building a collaboration platform that's as polished as the best SaaS products, but designed from day one to run anywhere — your cloud, your data center, or ours.
We're a small, distributed team ourselves, and we use Tektite every day. That means every feature we ship has to earn its keep in the workflows we rely on. No bloat, no vanity metrics — just the tools real teams need to do focused, meaningful work.
What drives us
The principles behind every decision we make.
Focus Over Features
We build what teams actually need, not what looks good on a feature comparison chart. Every addition earns its place by making real work easier.
Privacy by Default
Your conversations belong to you. We designed Tektite so organizations never have to choose between great collaboration tools and data sovereignty.
Async Without Sacrifice
Distributed teams shouldn't feel distributed. We obsess over making asynchronous work feel as natural and connected as being in the same room.
