Congratulations on your success. Reclaim.ai has been an incredibly valuable tool for me and my work. I'll admit to feeling like this will be the beginning of the end for me. I love Reclaim right now, it serves its purpose very well and stays completely out of the way whilst doing it, but I don't have any love for Dropbox or the vision for the future with Dropbox. Maybe I'm completely wrong though and you'll pull off something great. Best of luck and congrats again.

  Yeah, its kind of a bummer. Dropbox doesn't really have a cohesive vision for their productivity suite? Dropbox Paper doesn't seem to have progressed and there haven't been any other notable new products released.

  I appreciate the candor, and the support for Reclaim. Part of why we went with Dropbox was strong alignment for what the future of work can look like. Also because unlike many tech acquisitions, we were able to keep the entire team and product intact while continuing to invest in and pursue the long term vision we've had for Reclaim. I hope you'll give us a chance to change your perspective in the coming years :)

    Absolutely. I don't plan to go anywhere until it no longer works for me.

Out of Dropbox's long history of acquisitions, very few of the products from said acquisitions have survived. Did this factor into your decision to join Dropbox and if so how did you weigh that risk?

  Reminded me of their Command-E acquisition from a few years ago (https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/welcome-command-e-to-dropbox- https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/welcome-command-e-to...)

  We definitely considered it and we talked openly with the Dropbox team as well. I feel very good about the future of Reclaim.

So how much your net worth increase? How well did your employees exit?

  I guess not all questions are welcome :( So much for any questions

    As mentioned in that blog post, our whole team is coming along to keep building Reclaim + beyond :) All 22 of them are super excited.

      Not the question I asked though. I’m far more interested in knowing how well everyone did exit wise, as that is a data point that would be most useful to the general public.

Congrats on the acquisiton. This is huge. Do you think Reclaim will go up market with this move? What is your vision for how Reclaim supports more organizations in the future. And... When you think about growth of Reclaim -- What is something you think you got right when going to market?
