Born in 2017, MinuteMe came about with the intention to alleviate the unnecessary time and effort spent on administrative tasks before and after meetings. The platform's success is backed by numbers, with users saving a whopping 16 hours per month on meeting-related tasks. In financial terms, this translates to a saving of $700 from a single weekly meeting involving 10 attendees. In the broader scheme of things, an extra 192 hours can be reallocated to revenue-generating activities each year, giving employees the freedom to concentrate on tasks of higher importance.
Simon Steele, CEO and Co-founder of MinuteMe highlighted a common issue: walking into meetings without a clear agenda or knowledge of follow-up actions, leading to squandered time. MinuteMe offers a solid solution to these pain points, equipping users with a clear view of the meeting agenda, discussion topics, and historical notes. Steele notes, “Time is our most precious resource. We all deserve meetings where everyone arrives well-prepared and has significant updates to contribute.”
Many organisations have already reaped the rewards of MinuteMe. Global CEO of Settify, Paul Psaltis, reported that prior to MinuteMe, his team took separate notes, creating confusion about task ownership. MinuteMe's incorporation into their process has led to enhanced role clarity and improved task management, thereby boosting productivity. Fiona Dorman, National Vice President of the National Council of Women Australia and Co-Founder of South Australian Women’s Fund endorsed MinuteMe for its facilitation of referencing past meeting notes, agenda setting, and enabling deeper, more constructive discussions.
