Hooli? Isn't that a name of a company in the show Silicon Valley?

Yes. This is a non-starter with this name. C'mon. Reboot.

This should be an effective method of coming up with a new name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oejfTUlanHQ

Knowing this, I'm kind of surprised OP actually went with it.

The name is partly inspired from the show, and with the domain lying around, thought it made for a good easter egg. There are some others on the site if you look carefully ;).

OP here:

There are a gazillion collaboration tools out there. Why build a new one?

I use Trello/Hipchat/Github-issues in my workflow on a daily basis. I have tried a lot more tools. Most of the tools try to do many things and are not friendly on mobile devices. Hooli takes the simplicity of a tweet message to make actionable discussions that can be tracked in one live document. We have been using it extensively for taking meeting notes, managing our scrums.
