Hi there,

Last week we finally made our funding announcement. Thank you for spreading the word. We got a lot of interest from investors, people that love to try the product and people who want to work at Rise.

What happened at Rise

• We shipped our implementation with Google Contacts Sync. This means it’s way easier to find time with people you’d like to meet with. We still need Google to approve our API usage before giving it to everyone.
• Started working on the reliability of the find a time input. It used to be flaky sometimes, but we slightly redesigned it to be more simple.
• We brainstormed about our H1 2022 plans. We have a list of great ideas that can help a lot of people get more time to focus. We expect to use most of next quarter on shipping some bold ideas.

What’s next

• Ship the new find a time input.
• Close to half of our time will be dedicated to hiring.
