Fathom

Overview

Fathom is the AI notetaker and meeting partner that captures what matters, connects with your favorite tools, and scales with your team. Founded in 2020 by Richard White (founder and former CEO of UserVoice for 13 years), Fathom participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch and raised $4.7M in January 2022. The company is based in San Francisco with a team of 25. Fathom is a free app that records, transcribes, and summarizes Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings so you can focus on conversations instead of taking notes. Richard White founded the company after experiencing cognitive overload from conducting 15-20 back-to-back Zoom meetings daily during user research, realizing he couldn't talk and type simultaneously. The platform provides accurate meeting summaries and AI action items delivered to your inbox the moment calls end, meeting notes and insights that sync automatically with tools like Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, and Asana, and custom meeting summary templates tailored to your team's workflow and priorities. Fathom is officially the #1 Rated AI Meeting Assistant on G2 with a perfect 5/5 rating and is the Fastest Growing App on the HubSpot marketplace. In 2026, Fathom's pricing model has four tiers: Free (completely free for individual users with core features), Premium (advanced features), Team (collaboration tools), and Business (enterprise capabilities). The generous free tier has been key to Fathom's viral growth and market penetration. Fathom serves sales teams, customer success, product managers, recruiters, and executives for meeting management. The platform's core strength is its simplicity and accuracy - it just works, requiring no setup complexity while delivering high-quality transcripts and summaries. The free-forever model removes barriers to adoption, allowing entire teams to use the platform without budget approval. What sets Fathom apart is Richard White's product philosophy learned from building UserVoice - focus on solving one problem extremely well rather than adding features. Fathom does meeting recording and summarization better than competitors, with faster processing, more accurate transcripts, and seamless integrations. The platform's perfect 5/5 G2 rating across thousands of reviews demonstrates exceptional execution and user satisfaction.
