Ep.44: How One App is Opening Up Zoom With Mike Adams, CEO of Grain | Mapping Conversations | VC

Zoom! Grain is building a way to record, search, and edit your Zoom meetings.
But what started as a transcription service and a video editor has evolved into a new kind of database - a searchable record of all the conversations that happen inside a company. Today Grain is about connecting ideas across teams and divisions that you may never have even known existed.
Joe talks to Mike about how Zoom evolved into a platform for new startups, how Grain found their killer app with a Google doc, and his vision to build a Reddit-like experience for ideas inside companies.
