72: Tom Uebel, Co-Founder and CEO, CommandE

Whenever I watch engineers work, it feels like an alternative universe. Not least of which is because devs have unique superpower tools at their disposal - tons of different productivity hacks and niche plugins; one of the things I've been interested in most lately is finding overlapping use cases between technical and non-technical folks and then diving into the use cases where there are tools for technical folks, but nothing for non-technical folks. That's how I found the guys at CommandE.

CommandE has developed the ultimate cross-app search tool. I chatted with Tom Uebel, Co-Founder and CEO on how he came up with the idea, what the product looks like today, how he sticks out in a crowded space and developing implicit virality. Tom has raised from great folks like First Round, Bain Capital and Craft Ventures - this episode was fun diving into how he believes the future of search will unfold.
