RetroJam
Why This is an Opportunity
Every dev team does retros and almost every dev team hates how they do retros. The real-time collaborative board with voting is a genuinely fun frontend challenge, and the niche is perfectly sized — specific enough to nail, broad enough to be a real business.
Key Pain Points
- •The same two people talk for 45 minutes while everyone else is on mute checking their phones
- •Action items from last retro are written in a Google Doc that nobody has opened since
- •People won't share honest feedback because it's not truly anonymous when your manager is watching you type
- •You spend 10 minutes at the start of every retro setting up a Miro board from scratch because nobody saved a template
Original Discovery
Engineering teams do sprint retrospectives that are either painfully awkward or completely useless — someone screen-shares a Google Doc and three people dominate the conversation while everyone else zones out. RetroJam makes retros actually engaging: anonymous sticky-note submissions, real-time voting on what to discuss, a built-in timer so topics don't drag, and an auto-generated summary with action items emailed to the team after. It's the retro tool that makes your team not dread retros.
