Decided to build a CEO office, or hire a Chief of Staff or Founders Associate? The decision is the easy part.

Who you hire, how you onboard them, and how you let the function evolve, that's what separates the ones that work from the ones that quietly disappoint.

Excited to announce Viktor in Microsoft Teams.

This week we crossed $20M in annualized revenue run rate.

In Slack. One app, no sales team, no rollout.

Now Viktor goes where the rest of the working world actually is.

320 million people work in Microsoft Teams. The biggest org chart on earth – departments, approval chains, the manager and the manager's manager.

Here's what we actually built for them: the first AI where the barrier to entry is zero.

You don't learn it. You don't prompt it. You don't even have to understand what AI can do. You @mention Viktor like a coworker, and the finished work comes back. In fact, you don't even need to mention Viktor.

Viktor makes everyone AI-native. No course, no manual, no learning curve – the value comes to you, you don't reach for it.

That's the mission: bring our rebellious optimist to the people who need him most. The operators and managers buried inside big companies. The frontline. The ones who were never shown what this could actually do for them – until today.

Workspaces are where agents belong. Not apps.

Viktor is live in Microsoft Teams. $100 in credits to start, no card.

The AI for the rest of us – now where the rest of us report to someone.

Grand’s $70m round is a big signal.

I was chatting about this with a friend yesterday.

Tech and VC have become rife with transactional behavior. My take is that it's the result of the change in the personalities attracted to tech. It used to be the hackers; now it's the greedy hustlers.

Ironically, it makes for an easy filter.

Excited to launch Viktor

AI COWORKER THAT LIVES IN SLACK

→ 3,000+ tool integrations. If one's missing, it builds its own
→ Persistent memory. Learns your company, notices patterns, follows up on its own

P.S. Early access for now. Slack app review moves at Salesforce speed. Viktor doesn't.

At Context7, we benchmark LLMs for how well they enrich context — not just accuracy.

10 = best contextual quality
0 = worst

Here are the latest results 👇

[Bek Ventures @bek_vc]

The best boards spend 60-70% of their time listening.
This requires deliberate founder work.

→ Choose 2-3 issues max per meeting
→ Make pre-reads people actually read
→ Define key terms upfront

Read how boards can be assets, not obstacles.

[Bek Ventures @bek_vc]

"We weren't logical in the early days. We were just obsessed with the customer experience."

@EgemEraslan's approach to building @getmidas, an obsession that led to millions of users where other consumer fintechs struggled.
