About us

Built in Port of Spain.Made for everybody.

Founded by Forsmon Technologies in 2025 and launched in 2026, TeamTawk was built to give Caribbean SMEs one powerful workspace — priced in local currency, so you save your USD for what really matters.

Our story

Forsmon Technologies started building TeamTawk in 2025 with one goal: stimulate Caribbean SMEs for greater efficiency through a single, affordable service.

Every tool we tried was priced in USD, built for teams ten time zones away, and assumed Silicon Valley budgets. Caribbean businesses deserve better — they deserve software that works on their terms, in their currency.

So in 2025 we started building, and in 2026 we launched — one workspace for boards, chat, AI, and files. Priced in TT dollars so teams can save their USD for what really matters.

TeamTawk is what happens when you stop importing software and start making it at home.

What we believe

Small team.
Big opinions.

We built TeamTawk around four rules. They keep the product honest when the pressure to grow tries to make it bloated.

Fewer features, done well.

We say no a lot. Every shipped feature earned its place by being used daily by our own team first.

Speed is a feature.

A message in Port of Spain should feel as fast as one in Palo Alto. We tune latency like other teams tune typography.

Local by default.

TT$ pricing. Caribbean emoji. Holidays in the calendar that actually match yours. Not an afterthought — the first draft.

Warm over clever.

The product should feel like a colleague, not a contract. Writing, timing, color — all tuned for humans, not dashboards.

Open roadmap.

Every customer sees what we're building, why, and when. No mystery. No moving goalposts.

Profit, not scale.

We're bootstrapped and planning to stay that way. Customers are our boss — not investors.

The crew

Twenty-two
real humans.

Designers, engineers, writers, a dog named Soca. No growth hackers, no VPs of thought leadership. Everyone ships.
