The concept of Fireflies.ai stemmed from the fact that there’s a lot of valuable information in everyday business conversations that gets buried. The huge pain they wanted to help solve is that meetings come with a ton of waste. Krish drops the stat from the Spotify research paper that highlights the true cost of meetings, which they evaluated at average of $1500-$2000/hour, assuming a 4 person attendance, and the status quo approach simply does not make the most of this investment.
Today, they’ve grown to a team of 75+, and a lot of their growth can be attributed to the organic visibility of the app - once someone joins a meeting with a Fireflies user, they are automatically exposed to the Fireflies brand through the notetakers seat on the virtual conference.
