Recognition that builds culture

KaBoon is the Slack-native recognition platform designed for teams that want peer appreciation to become a visible, measurable part of their culture, without leaving chat.

Our Mission

Make recognition fun, easy, exciting and rewarding.

Recognition shouldn't feel like a corporate obligation. It should feel like celebration. When your team wins, your team wins. When someone does great work, the whole squad notices.

KaBoon turns recognition into a team sport. Real-time in Slack where work actually happens. Team-based competition with seasons that reset. Customizable values so your culture sounds like you, not a template. Gamified so people actually want to recognize each other. And optional rewards when you need them.

Why We Built KaBoon

In channel recognition

Recognition shouldn't require effort

Existing recognition tools live in separate portals, making recognition a chore instead of a habit. KaBoon brings recognition into the flow of work: a quick /award command in Slack, done.

Values full customisation

Culture is earned, not mandated

Your company values matter. KaBoon lets you name and customize your values, teams, seasons, and currency so the program sounds like you, not a template from a vendor.

Competition

Competition keeps people engaged

People recognize more when they see their team competing. Seasons reset the board so no one gets left behind, and fresh energy happens every cycle.

Rewards and boons

Rewards are optional, not mandatory

Recognition stands on its own. When rewards fit, KaBoon's Boon Shop lets teams run individual or collaborative goal-based incentives. When they don't, turn them off.

What We've Built

In channel recognition

Slack integration

Recognition in seconds. Tag teammates, pick a value, add a note. It's public, it's fast, and everyone sees it.

Seasons and leaderboards

Team competition that resets

Every award rolls up to the recipient's team. Seasons reset the leaderboard so competition stays fresh and everyone has a fair shot.

Values full customisation

Customizable values and themes

Define what matters: Teamwork, Innovation, Customer Focus, whatever fits your culture. Themes give you a new look and feel for your program, with custom colors, icons, and more.

Analytics

Analytics built for culture

See which values are celebrated, how team dynamics shift, who's building momentum. Data that informs, not overwhelms.

Rewards and boons

Boon Shop for optional rewards

When you want to incentivize, Boon Shop lets teams create individual or collaborative goals with real rewards. When you don't, just use recognition.
