We use office365 for calendaring. The onboarding flow stops at "connect your Primary Google Calendar Account". I understand one has to start somewhere, but it still boggles my mind why so many B2B startups treat Office365 as second order of priority. Does it come from genuine market research on the addressable market, or tech myopia of Google apps usage in the startup ecosystem? Guess we'll stick with Sunsama for the time being.

Hello jtthe and thank you for your feedback! We are aware that many people would benefit form the Office365 integration. It is in our roadmap (https://akiflow.canny.io/features-and-improvements-request/p/outlook-calendar-integration https://akiflow.canny.io/features-and-improvements-request/p...) and will be developed in the next few months.

I think a lot of that comes from the fact that O365 are more corporate users. And oftentimes they are restricted from connecting their calendar to 3rd parties due to corporate policy.

  Yes, this is also part of the reasons why we started with the Google platform and not Office365.

  Indeed, I've tried and failed many times to connect my corporate O365 to calendaring/scheduling/task mgmt. apps. It is a major roadblock for many of us stuck to that product.

In general, tech people are more likely to be early adopters. Also, it helps if the VCs you're targeting can log in as well. Same reason most mobile startups are iOS well before they're Android. In general it goes (GitHub if you're a dev tool, Apple if you're mobile), Google, MSFT, other SSO, in that order.
