Details
Airtable is what spreadsheets should have been. Part spreadsheet, part database, all flexible. Founded by Howie Liu who noticed 90% of spreadsheets don’t even use formulas: people just organize stuff. Great for tracking anything from content calendars to customer lists to inventory. Bending Spoons, the Italian software company, completed its purchase of Airtable on 4 September 2026.
DocSend lets you share docs and see exactly who viewed them, for how long, which pages. Founded by Russ Heddleston, acquired by Dropbox for $165M in 2021. Essential for fundraising: know if VCs actually read your deck or just skimmed page 1.
