I'm not sure we could navigate modern life without the tech that allows asynchronous communication. But it comes at a price. For example, with multiple tools like digital whiteboards, cloud-based storage systems, video recording, AI note-taking, email and chat, teams can work together even when they are distanced both by geographic location and by time. The tradeoff is that there must be broad agreement on and fastidious adherence to guidelines about how and when each team member will use each tool. If they can't be together physically, they'll need to be together systemically. Putting these systems in place and creating a culture of using them properly is an ongoing battle. How is your team managing it? #async #smb #remoteworklife #worklife #management #leadership #productivity https://lnkd.in/gTWhiaUN

Let the wave begin! Pioneer Fund company Recall.ai *grew their revenue 10x* in the past year, has 300 enterprise customers, and just raised a $10M Series A led by Ridge Ventures. David Gu and Amanda Zhu dropped out of college at age 19 to start the company. They've grown it exponentially with a tiny team. They make it easy to build meeting bots that are cross-platform. They're aggregating all these different APIs into one unified API, the way Twilio did with cell phones. At first it "sounds" easy to build a meeting bot -- just integrate with the Zoom API. But in fact there's a huge long tail of things you need to build, security and privacy pitfalls, automations, transcription complexities, integrations, the calendar invites where someone is using Google Meet or Teams, staying up-to-date with the libraries, etc etc. Recall takes care of all of that. It's WAY easier to build on top of Recall.ai and focus on the features that make you unique. Congratulations to the Recall team!

inVest Ventures, a LinkedIn Community VC Fund, launches today! LinkedIn alums have already founded some amazing companies: think Confluent, Notion, Cricket Health, Figma, and many more. inVest Ventures launches today to build more amazing companies by connecting LinkedIn alum founders with LinkedIn employees past and present: not only as a source of funding but also as a source of advice, relationships, and support. Every inVest Ventures limited partner (”inVestor”) is either a current or former LinkedIn employee: - Many inVestors built LinkedIn from a startup to what it is today, creating its culture, its strategy, and its playbooks - And many inVestors have already benefited from these LinkedIn lessons to found, lead, or invest in dozens of other notable tech companies Now this group of inVestors is focused on building the next generation of transformational LinkedIn alum-founded companies as part of inVest Ventures. It’s been a blast partnering with the core inVest Ventures team of Glenn Borok, Neil Khare, Karen Chi, Lauri J. Moore, Lizzie Youshaei, Mia McConnell, and Erica Lockheimer over the past 4 months to get us to today’s launch. And to reconnect with such a wide swath of LinkedIn folks as we’ve built out such a strong inVestor community. A special shout-out to Mia for being the mastermind behind this wonderful video and to Amy Lokey, Annabel Liu, Arvind Rajan, David Henke, Erica Lockheimer, Erika Rottenberg, Florina Xhabija Grosskurth, Gyanda Sachdeva, Hari Srinivasan, Kiran Prasad, Lora Blum, Mike Derezin, Mike Gamson, Prachi Gupta, Ryan Roslansky, Scott Roberts, Steve Sordello, and Ya Xu for starring in it. Hello, inVest Ventures. I’m inVested. #inVestVentures #IAmInVested

"You can't pay enough to grow at hypergrowth rates; it starts with an amazing product that people love to use." — Carilu Dietrich, former CMO at Atlassian through their IPO. Look at a company like Slack. They invested in advertising, but what really drove their growth was how much teams loved using the product and shared it with others. Ads can help build awareness, but they won’t drive hypergrowth alone. True hypergrowth happens when word of mouth kicks in, and people organically spread your product because it genuinely solves their problems. PS: Check out Carilu's Hypergrowth Leadership newsletter.
