Excited to announce @voiceflow has raised an additional $15M led by @OpenViewVenture 🎉
We raised our valuation by 50% this round, and our total funding is now $35M.
In typical Voiceflow fashion, we'd rather tell you about it (and demo) vs make you read a press release 👇

@shakepay is the one wallet I can send friends and family to and know they won't come back with a million questions :) It's the easiest way to get started with BTC and ETH.
I am very honoured to be included in this round!

Founders break rules, so it’s not very surprising that many of the egg freezers I talk to are founders - writing their own story for what family building looks like!
I wrote the TL;DR guide to #eggfreezing that I wish someone had given me when I started.

Only 6 yrs ago, @mimurchison & @davehariri did a hard pivot & created @ada_cx.
Today, Ada is the leading AI-powered chatbot & serves brands like @Zoom, @shopify & @Square.
Start-ups never follow a straight line but sometimes they end up as true 🚀🚀🚀.

There are certain areas of the economy that we are learning should not be optimized for free cashflow.
My top two:
1. Cyber security infrastructure
2. News
When you focus these areas purely on today’s profits, they become unreliable which creates many unintended consequences.
Congrats to John & the @OpsLevel team! Union is excited to partner on the journey.

Cities have had a monopoly on the best jobs for 200 years. COVID induced remote friendliness and Starlink are the 1-2 punch. People underestimate how much the world will change with great internet everywhere. A massive democratisation of opportunities.
Results from a StarLink beta tester in Washington state 🤯
