Just posted: my story on @sednanetwork’s new $34M funding round, led by @insightpartners. Sedna founder @wfdobie’s view is that email isn’t built for complex distributed industries like logistics, but it’s also impossible to dislodge.

Three years ago I had a Zoom with @rebeccaliudoyle when just starting our scale journey. That first meeting set the bar for the product loving, big thinking investors we wanted to bring into SEDNA.com as we transform business by bringing clarity & context to email.

After our Series A with @chalfs, @stride_vc and @SAP_iO we doubled down on building a world class team to accelerate. Their customer first approach is at our heart and we’ve built strength upon strength to solve one of the biggest problems there is today - enterprise complexity.

Best thing about starting @stride_vc has been quality of investment discussions with @HarryStebbings. We push back on each other with a smile, we go deep, we explore issues, we enhance each other. We simply come to better decisions together without drama. It feels good.
