There seems to be quite a few people in here looking to join a startup.
We're a mature aerospace impact startup (in Switzerland) pre launch for a new platform to engage and empower passangers in order to accelerate sustainability in aviation. Our product website is www.adaption.me and company website is www.optimaero .ai.
If you're interested in joining us, and you think you have skills that suit our business, you could drop me a speculative application by email at hello@OptimAero.ai.

As the guy who has to integrate your company in 5 years, definitely MSFT.

Will always pick Google. Google is way more secure than MS365. Microsoft has more security incidents each year than some countries.
Given your healthcare startup’s strict security needs and no IT support, I’d lean toward MS365. It’s built with compliance in mind, handles personalized email hosting solidly, and you can skip Teams in favor of Slack and Zoom without losing functionality. Just invest a bit of time upfront learning admin basics, it’ll save you headaches later. Security and control outweigh bells and whistles when patient data is involved.
Thanks C1 - super helpful. That's where I was leaning. D1 and MC1 also had helpful responses, which were similar to what I'd read online for pros/cons. Appreciate the help!
Our agency works with a ton of healthcare startups, and they tend to lean heavily towards MSFT — esp if they have any intention of working with/selling to care providers. They’re all on MSFT, so being on the same baseline platform lowers at least one integration barrier. And you’ll have more than enough of those very soon 😅
Yeeeeeeup. Every single one of them 🤣
Pretty soon you won’t be able to see the words “App Orchard” without thinking someone just hit you in the head with a bag of fruit.
My background for 25+ years is with Microsoft. I recently went to a startup where they rely solely on Google workspace and it’s as basic as it gets and it lacks major functionality. I’m an expert in Word & Excel yet there’s a huge learning curve when using google Docs and Sheets because to me, it seems they’re still in beta version. Maybe it due to the infringement issue with MS, who knows. I also took a data analytics course through google where the taught analysis using Excel. I quickly stopped and moved to the IBM course instead.
I’m struggling using google. Even Gmail. When I need to create a doc or sheet quickly and efficiently, I’ll use MS and dump the files into google drive where it removes nearly all formatting and most of the functionality with Pivots and even functions.
I don’t think I’ll adjust after time when I know what MS brings to the table.
Pay for MS 365 it’s 100% worth it.
MS all the way with zoom. Google is annoying if you work with MS users and there are more of them , exponentially.
F...curious, @OP is teams porous?
M365 is the better choice for scalable security and general workability. I've been in both ecosystems and google+slack is not good for enterprise level security (unless you have budget for extra IT staff). Also, in a Google environment, you are going to have employees literally begging you to go with Outlook. And no, using Google with Outlook front end isn't a working solution.
I prefer Google workspace... we also use Slack and Zoom, and have Google chat functions and Google meet for backup

Google first and buy at least one Gemini subscriptions at 250/m a license. That gives you equivalent of 10 employees if tied into Google ecosystem. Immediately put it to work building your company docs, workflows, and automating procedures.
So what’s it gonna take to get you over to my SideVV?
