Was great going deep with Alex on this behind-the-scenes story
Exclusive: new startup Scuba launches today with $34M in funding and a mission to build the "context engine" for more effective teamwork using AI tools.
I spoke to its ex-Slack founders, Noah Desai Weiss (@noah_weiss) and Dolapo Falola (@dolapo), about their product and work 👀
Excited to announce @withscuba today with @noah_weiss and scuba team!
Scuba is shared memory that is everywhere your team works - coding agents, slack, your phone. Capture anything so you never lose a great idea and always start with the right context.

Today @dolapo and I are introducing Scuba, the shared context engine for teams and their agents.
Never lose a great idea. Capture anything, share what matters, and keep your people and agents aligned as you move faster together.
Everyone is moving faster on their own with AI. But so few teams feel they’re moving smarter together.
The models aren't intelligence bound anymore. They're context constrained.
Scuba is the shared memory your team has been missing. Put it to work in Slack, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any tool that supports MCP. We run our whole company on it, with under two hours of meetings a week.
We’re emerging out of stealth with $34M. We’re grateful to @accel for leading our pre-seed and co-leading our seed with @ivp, alongside @BoxGroup, @conviction, @homebrew, and @ScribbleVC. Our angels include the founders of Slack (@stewart @iamcal), Instagram (@mikeyk), Stripe (@patrickc), LinkedIn (@reidhoffman & Jeff Weiner), Salesforce (@parkerharris), Datadog (@oliveur), Vanta (@christinacaci), Harvey (@winstonweinberg), Dropbox (@drewhouston), Abridge (@ShivdevRao), Duolingo (@severinhacker), Granola (@cjpedregal), Warp (@zachlloydtweets), Zynga (@markpinc), Groupon (@andrewmason), Coda (@shishirmehrotra), Opendoor (@ericwu01), and Flatiron Health (@zachweinberg).

On 8/25 we were made aware of a vulnerability in Arc by @xyz3va. On 8/26 this vulnerability was fixed - thankfully no Arc members were affected.
Firstly, I want to apologize for this vulnerability and our communications surrounding it. I’m not proud that this happened, but I do want to take this as a moment to share how we will learn and improve. How we — as a team, and I personally — will make sure these types of incidents don’t happen again. Trust is crucial to us as Arc users and builders.
You can find a full incident analysis from our team linked below, including what happened, mitigations, and next steps.
If you have any questions please feel free to DM me or write in to us at [email protected]. We will integrate all of your questions, thoughts, and feedback into our larger discussions and full retrospective.
Last, a heartfelt thanks for all the concern (and even outrage) you've all expressed about this incident, and for holding us to a high standard. We'll be using this opportunity to grow as a company, as an engineering organization, and personally as a founder. Thanks again and more to come soon.

I’m so proud of this team! Big day today as our first Windows beta invites go out.
It's also a big day for the Swift on Windows! Arc on Windows is built in Swift, and shares a majority of its code with macOS. Our codebase is also now cross-platform, making future ports easier!

We’re dedicated to sharing our work @browsercompany - so today we’re publishing our first post on building rich native experiences on Windows with Swift & open sourcing our swift-firebase repo
First up, interoperability! Windows APIs, COM, C++ and how they integrate with Swift🧵

We wrapped our first ever @browsercompany Windows offsite last week!
I gave a mini update in All Hands yesterday.. and thought why not share behind the scenes with you too?
We're sprinting hard to get Arc onto Windows in 2023 — exact timing still 🤐!
🪟more below & next week🪟

Big browser welcome to @dolapo, our new Head of Engineering! A kind soul who's built awesome products from Google Reader to IG & Slack.

As I obsessively tweeted about yesterday, Slack Huddles is rolling out now. @dolapo and I talked with @FastCompany about how we intentionally designed the opposite of a video meeting. Folks, it has been so enjoyable not have to put on makeup before 1:1s

Working remotely, I've missed the moments where you run into someone and it turns into a productive (ok.. social) interaction. We're working on making this happen naturally over Slack. We're working on reducing meetings with async video.

Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau
Rest in Power Angel 💔 #JusticeForToyin after tweeting about her sexual assault she went missing for several days and her body was recently found. She was only 19.
putting “the drama”™ aside for a second, the overall aesthetic and photography on insecure is just consistently a joy to watch
i really think the way HBO's Insecure has mastered the cinematographic art of properly lighting black people should be talked about more. #InsecureHBO
