If the Founder & CTO of @firefliesai is willing to illegally listen in on your private calls for $750, what would he be willing to do to maintain his $1B status?

Just hire an ex Yext rep
Sales leaders are painfully hard hires to make. Experts in persuasion. Super high talk-to-walk ratio. If you mess it up, it can cost your business 12+ months and tons of revenue. I definitely haven’t figured making this hire out.

9:00pm EST. 996 disciples shut down their laptops & begin their long commutes home. But in a @roam Virtual Office, parents can put their kids to bed, or a dinner break with their friends, or celebrate a birthday and are back for work all night alongside their peers.

“I want to be a founder” is the worst reason to start a company. But if you have the guttural intuition that you're the best person in the world to solve a problem, then it is useless to deny your destiny. Thanks to @Joubinmir for having me on to discuss the @KPGrit Podcast

@benln Have you ever tried https://t.co/ODr6qnWy3u? Our team switched 8 months ago and never looked back. Virtual workspace, virtual offices/theaters, AI inbox (slack replacement), magicast (loom replacement), AI assistants etc. The most AI native virtual workspace I’ve ever tried!

Remote working apps like @roam may have the best product directionally aligned here. Ultimately platforms who can give workers the best AI VA will win here
Sam Altman says Slack has many positives, but it creates endless fake work We need an AI-native productivity suite to replace docs, slides, email, and Slack Not add-on features, but trusted agents that handle work and only escalate when needed This finally feels within reach
