Mio is an Austin, Texas company that makes enterprise chat platforms talk to each other. Instead of forcing a whole organization onto a single tool, Mio sits in the middle and federates the public APIs of Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Chat, Zoom Team Chat and Cisco Webex so a message typed in one app lands natively in another. Founded in 2015 by Tom Hadfield and James Cundle and backed by Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Zoom and Cisco, Mio turns the messy reality of multi-platform companies (and the partners they work with) into a single, interoperable conversation.
Dropbox is the company that made 'just put it in my Dropbox' a sentence everyone understood. Founded in 2007 after Drew Houston got tired of forgetting his USB drive, it turned file sync into a verb and grew into a content-collaboration platform used by roughly 700 million registered users and about 18 million paying subscribers. Today the San Francisco company, public on the Nasdaq as DBX with about $2.5 billion in annual revenue, is betting its next chapter on Dash, an AI-powered universal search layer that hunts across every app where your work actually lives.
