A Message From 27V

We're interrupting the lineup of 27V portfolio startups 🏕 to give you a behind-the-scenes look at life as part of the #27Vfam.

We open our Slack to all employees, not just founders, so all team members can learn from each other and solve problems together. My favorite channel to lurk in is the one on social strategy, appropriately named the #TikTank.

If you're building a product in EdTech or Future of Work and want to join the TikTank, fill in the form at pitch.27V.vc and we'll get right back to you! 🚀

Do you have 100+ browser tabs open right now?

I’ve been helping the team at Heyday out with content-related projects for the last few months and it has made publishing Workspaces SO much easier. Heyday is the research tool that automatically saves the content you view, and resurfaces it within your existing workflows.

I'd absolutely love to hear any product feedback that you have regarding it!
