Case Study: Canua builds a fully remote, async team with Claap

Starting and Managing a Fully Remote Startup With Claap

Canua, a finance platform for consumers, was founded and run as a fully remote startup by solo founder Jeff Garner and a distributed team spread across seven countries. Their challenge was staying fast and aligned without relying on meetings, while still giving teammates enough context to make good decisions and collaborate effectively.

Claap provided the async video collaboration tool Canua used for bug reports, design reviews, quick updates, and investor communication. With Claap, the team could annotate directly on videos, share rich feedback without long meetings or email threads, and keep deep-work time intact; the result was smoother collaboration, faster feedback loops, and a team that could “just work and get stuff done all day” without Jeff becoming a bottleneck.
