Coffee meetups and more right in Microsoft Teams & Slack!

LEAD is a San Francisco-based venture-backed company that offers LEAD.bot, which is regarded as a superior alternative to the Donut app by many companies. Although we don't mind being referred to as "Donut for Microsoft Teams," LEAD.bot is also available in Slack.
