Venture Capital Investor at Blitzscaling Ventures | Llama Lounge event host & Conference Speaker | Works in an Airstream
I'm an early angel investor in Texts (all your messages in one location), which has just joined the Automattic family (Wordpress, in which my platforms run on) Congrats to Kishan Bagaria CEO of Texts and Matt Mullenweg, founder and CEO of Automattic. I knew Kishan was up to big things, due to the proliferation of social media and messaging apps and the lack of a single place to aggregate. Kishan has always shown responsiveness to my messages, he was a "lean in" founder that, a trait I found really attractive. Can't wait to see what they do together next. https://lnkd.in/gdTdhA38

If someone can resurrect Google Reader they might literally save social media. Someone get on this. WordPress would have a lot to gain…. Hint hint.

Just heard Matt on Pivot. Love it!
Congrats!
I haven't used the product, but I admire the concept of an elegant solution to a simple (but frustrating) problem. We will see continued attention around efforts to consolidate communications across platforms in the coming months/years. Apple TV (the hardware, not the service) helps with streamlining content across steaming services, Roon does the same for music, but in the battle for supremacy, these solutions will need to overcome resistance to APIs/sharing (for example, Roon doesn't integrate with Spotify). Any scalable solution will need to address user privacy considerations, as well as overcome provider friction.
