Details
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.
Tuple is what Screenhero was before Slack killed it. High-quality, low-latency pair programming that actually works. Built by Ben Orenstein and team, bootstrapped to millions in revenue. Used by engineers at Shopify, Stripe, and Netflix.
