Quill has built a no-frills, thread-first messaging product that aims to foster "meaningful conversations, without disturbing your team." The product is still in beta and emphasizes threads to encourage fewer, more focused conversations, positioning itself as less of a "firehose" than Slack. Ludwig Pettersson, Stripe’s former creative director who previously worked on OpenAI’s initial design, leads the company. Quill says the product focuses on increasing the bandwidth and efficiency of communication and technically surfaces the right information and participants. Financially, Quill raised a $2.0M seed led by Sam Altman and a $12.5M Series A at a $62.5M valuation led by Index Ventures. Backers named in the articles include Sam Altman, Index Ventures (Sarah Cannon), General Catalyst, Greg Brockman, and Elad Gil.
