An Israeli startup that scanned Slack, email, CRM and analytics to hand each employee a personalised summary of what mattered. It was founded in 2022 by alumni of Wix, Blizzard, OpenWeb and Gong, with a $7M pre-seed co-led by StageOne and Aleph. A pivot toward sales tooling never caught, and rather than spend the remainder the founders closed the company and said they would return the money to investors. ⚠ Closure announced September 3, 2025 (Calcalist/CTech); no exact shutdown date was published.
Collateral damage: Returning capital instead of burning it is rare: the founders said investors would get their money back.
