We’re ecstatic to welcome Jon Brick to our Design Team! ?? "The opportunity to work on an established product with great customers in a relatively young space is one of those “few-times-a-career” opportunities. We are shaping the future of the space and how engineering teams build great products. Additionally, I was blown away by the passion, experience, and empathy of the entire org. I don’t think I’ve experienced a team so focused on delivering value and solving real problems for our users - it was a huge motivating factor for me joining and I’m excited to be a part of the team!" - Jon on "Why Cortex?"

?? Scale x Cortex: Building Products People "Don't Need" ?? Thrilled to share our latest edition where Aryaman Banerjee and I had a great conversation with Anish Dhar about the challenges of creating entirely new product categories. "I was probably sending 1000s of cold emails a week to everyone I could think of... I'd get 2 replies, one would be 'not interested'" Despite this initial resistance, Cortex (backed by Sequoia Capital, IVP, Y Combinator, and Scale Venture Partners) grew from zero customers to a $470M valuation by mastering one crucial skill: turning skeptical "we don't need this" prospects into enthusiastic champions. Anish shares candid insights about: + Why technical validation isn't enough + How to identify and empower internal champions + Converting pain points into purchase orders + Building conviction when no market exists ??

We’re super excited to welcome Hannah Schepers to our Customer Experience Team! ?? "I’m very excited to join Cortex! As someone who knows the struggle of quickly needing to figure out who owns what, Cortex’s product really stands out. What I really appreciate is how it not only tackles everyday workflow challenges but also lets me customize solutions to fit each customer’s unique needs. It's inspiring to work with a tool that’s both - practical and adaptable. On top of that, the team is just as inspiring as the product. Everyone I met is eager to give 110% at work while having fun and a genuine respect for work-life balance.
