“My thesis is that High-growth companies grow quadratically, not exponentially”. If you enjoy charts, a bit of math, and realistic growth expectations: read this article for a breakdown of what hyper-growth looks like.
Not a read, but a video: see a tour of the new Cisco office. It has occupancy sensors, smart video call cameras, better-designed tables, and much more for hanging out and gossiping collaborative work.
2 venture announcements
Frame AI raised $7.6M to increase sales and invest in development. Their product is an AI-powered customer support system. It helps to better measure effort, cost, and customer feelings.
Amie raised $7M. They are building a calendar combined with a to-do list for time-boxing of your tasks. If you think “I heard of other companies raising for essentially the same product”, you will be right. The article points it out as well - “Amie competes with a new wave of calendar startups, including Vimcal, Magical, Fantastical, Cron and Rise”.
