"You know, someone needs to build a service like this for the world."
Facebook succeeded in connecting the world, but keeping up with all of your friends and professional coffee buddies is overwhelming.
In 2017, another Harvard student dropped out to solve this problem, and his team's AI-powered Personal CRM launches today.
Conduit is like a personal Chief of Staff:
📊 Powerful AI tracks every meeting, email, and connection
💌 Integrates with Google, LinkedIn, Outlook, and your calendar
☕ Automatically reminds you to catch up with old friends based on how long it's been since you've emailed or grabbed coffee
Product Hunt users get VIP access with code PRODUCTHUNT. 🤗
Conduit isn't the only startup tackling this problem: Airtable's CRM template is loved by thousands (and they raised $52M!), Affinity got 800+ upvotes for their CRM, and UpHabit is coming soon.
To anybody watching the price of Bitcoin, the blockchain boom came and went. Prices have dropped 60% since December.
Startups aren't watching the markets: in the last 3 months, the number of new crypto job listings has doubled.
Instead of raising money from VCs, crypto companies are selling tokens on their networks to fund development. These token sales or ICOs were incredibly popular: almost $3B+ was raised in March alone.
Read about the hottest new blockchain startups from the best crypto investors in the game, in this week's AngelList Weekly. ✌️
Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI
You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
