What they do

Otter.ai uses AI to write real-time notes, summaries, and insights from meetings, in person and online. Otter says it has transcribed more than 1 billion meetings. It also makes AI agents for sales and recruiting teams that follow up and book meetings. Its mission is to make conversations more valuable. Early investors in Google, DeepMind, Zoom, and Tesla back it.

What they value

• Build fast: test and learn quickly, and let the best code and design win.
• Push limits: think big and chase bold goals.
• Think team: work together and use diverse talents.
• Create delight: anticipate what users need and surprise them.
• Be authentic: seek the truth, respect others, and act with integrity.
