Ideaflow
Ideaflow is a Palo Alto-based AI company building an 'intelligence amplification' layer for knowledge work. Its flagship product is a notebook that augments your thinking as you type, letting people capture and stitch together fragments of information. The company has since expanded into team knowledge tools - Base, which surfaces context from Slack, meetings, and documents, and meeting intelligence - aiming to become an organization's collective memory. Founded around 2015 by MIT Media Lab designer Jacob Cole and Etherpad/Meteor veteran David Greenspan, it has raised roughly $11M in seed funding from First Round Capital, 8VC, StartX, Naval Ravikant, and Tim Draper.
