Details
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.
Loom lets you record quick screen + face videos instead of scheduling meetings. Insanely useful for async teams. Started bootstrapped on maxed credit cards, grew to 10M+ users, sold to Atlassian for $975M in 2023. The free tier is still generous enough for most solo use. Business costs $18 per user per month and removes the video and length limits, and Business + AI costs $24 with AI editing; paying annually saves up to 17%.
