Quild #1: Launching, 'nuffsaid

Yes, another startup newsletter. But AI-powered! 'Nuffsaid

Jan 27, 2022

This is Quild, a newsletter discovering exciting companies using data. Quild was inspired by the feedback from readers of Pattern Matching, where I wrote about startup signals to look for. The Quid highlights one stealth to series A startups that have statistically significant signals of becoming a unicorn.

With that said, here’s the first Quild-ed startup.

Nuffsaid helps people focus on the work that matters. Their product centralizes your work apps—email, chat, Salesforce, Jira, and more—and uses AI to prioritize the work that will move the needle in your role.
