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.
Otter.ai transcribes your meetings in real-time. Founded by Sam Liang (ex-Google location services lead). Hit $100M ARR without a single sales rep: grew purely through word of mouth from journalists who loved the free tier. Great for anyone who needs meeting notes without manual typing.
