Slay squad goals, not just tasks, with Lattice
Summary
Built by Y Combinator president Sam Altman’s brother Jack, Lattice is launching its enterprise collaboration app today. The seed round was led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Khosla Ventures, SV Angel, Marc Benioff, Slack Fund and Fuel Capital, plus angels including Jack’s bro Sam, Elad Gil, Alexis Ohanian, Kevin Mahaffey, Daniel Gross and Jake Gibson. “The number one thing I tell startups to do as they scale is make sure the entire company is clear on the mission and goals,” Sam Altman explains. “This is critical — if companies can get this right, things will move in the right direction, and if they don’t, no amount of management seems to fix it.” Teams try emails, spreadsheets, PowerPoints, meetings and end-of-quarter heckling to try to keep members on track. It’s hard not to see Lattice facing off against task-focused software like Asana… which is also funded by Jack’s brother Sam… and lets you track co-workers and collaborate with them… and was built by two guys inspired by management troubles at a big company they helped grow (Facebook).
