Good&Co and the cost of asking too much, too soon
Good&Co turned personality quizzes into a bet on better hiring. Its own product history offers an equally useful lesson: people need to see the value before they surrender their money, their time, or their team.
SoWork
SoWork is a generative-AI-enhanced virtual office platform that gives distributed teams a persistent, customizable workspace where avatars work side by side, spatial audio recreates hallway serendipity, and AI quietly captures meeting notes and action items. Founded at Harvard by three co-founders and legally incorporated as Sophya, Inc., the company raised a $15M seed round led by Talis Capital in 2021 and counts teams from startups to large enterprises among its users - with a stated mission to move workplaces from the earth to the cloud.
