Is this some sort of trick question. Seven obviously - the aisle seat with no one in the middle.
Oc if it was a short flight I'd sit next to Messi. Tell him I play with a 55+ team and ask him if he still plays now that he's an old dude.
we just raised another $25M after 10x'ing our ARR in 5 months. the crazy part is this almost never happened.
17 years ago, I watched Iron Man as a 10-year-old kid in Delhi. that night, I pulled my first all-nighter teaching myself to code. not because I wanted to build apps or make money.
because I wanted to build Jarvis.
my parents gave me 1 hour of screen time per day. so I coded in secret, sleeping every alternate night through middle school and high school. built 50+ apps. got a cease and desist from Google at age 12.
all for this one obsession: making computers understand us like humans do.
fast forward to today:
- we've raised $81M total to build the voice operating system
- growing revenue 40% month-over-month this year
- 70% user retention after one year (unheard of in consumer)
- teams at 270 of the Fortune 500 use Wispr Flow daily
our Series A2 was led by @hanstung at @notablecap (who was an early investor in five companies that made it to $100B valuation like Slack, Tiktok, and Airbnb). we also brought on @StevenBartlett as an investor and partner.
but here's what matters more than the money:
we cracked voice input. not transcription - actual understanding. our users hit "send" in under 0.5 seconds without checking. they trust it blindly. that's never existed before.
in a recent benchmark, Wispr came out as 3-4x more accurate than OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Siri.
and we're just getting started. voice input was step one. now we're building the assistant that actually does things for you.
to my co-founder @SahajGarg6 - there's no one else I'd rather build Jarvis with than my college roommate and closest friend.
to our team pulling all-nighters and shipping magic - you're the reason that 10-year-old kid's dream is becoming real.
we're hiring cracked engineers and growth marketers who want to build the future of human-computer interaction.
the keyboard had a good 150-year run.
time to build what comes next.

Law school should be run like a trade school because law is a trade.
Instead, in many places, it akin to having would-be plumbers sit in a classroom to debate whether it is the pipe or the empty space in the pipe that is of value.
@ProfRobAnderson Definitely not accounting. Business with a focus on finance and economics over accounting. Or sales and marketing focus. If you want a great career in the law without being brilliant enough to teach you need to be able to manage and lead.
What happened to the 72 hour deadline that he set on Monday?
Classic Trump negotiation. You can have the stick or the bigger stick, except it doesn't work if the bigger stick only exists in your imagination.
BREAKING: Trump sets a Sunday deadline for Hamas to agree to a deal for ending the war in Gaza and warns the group would face "all HELL" if it doesn't. https://t.co/5LNrEHrehY
See, I have to agree with this. And a corollary rule I've always followed.
When someone is a crass blowhard in public don't do business with them. If they are like that in public they are worse in private.
@heyitsalexsu My three year old is now doing engineering work that's equivalent to what our MIT post docs were doing two years ago. Sometime ought to tell the students applying to MIT right now.
