Claude for excel is already amazing. Fully capable of doing junior work. Formatting is great. Can refactor large multi-tab spreadsheets. It just burns tokens. If OpenAI is going to subsidize this on the monthly enterprise plans for a while then it's a game changer.

Claude for Excel (I work in finance) was one of the absolutely critical reasons we added Anthropic enterprise licenses. But they've turned out to be quite expensive ($100/day for heavy users). We'll see what OpenAI's quotas are.

The threadbait is so apparent. Anytime the OP replies to every comment, it's obvious.

I agree with a lot of the "how to" suggestions here. One addition is that you need to have a small number of key non-development employees really guide the development with strong opinions on functionality. This will likely mean your strongest folks in the departments that the software will serve. I would avoid building this by committee. 1-2 of your best folks who will be the ultimate end users should have massive decision-making power in what gets developed, in what order, and for what purpose.

Also, don't underestimate maintenance in your cost assumptions. Even after you've developed the product, you will need several people full-time just to maintain, update, and bug fix, let alone add new features that got sidelined during the initial development in order to meet the MVP.

The most interesting bit is: "Wednesday's proposal doesn't require companies to verify that individuals meet income thresholds set by the law, officials said. Instead, the SEC asks for comment on whether verification steps are needed." Potentially receiving funding from a non-accredited investor has been one of the remaining sources of risk to a startup taking crowdfunding.

I've scraped pretty much all of the funding and company data from crunchbase and reorganized it so that it shows a number of different insights, including what you see here: for any VC Firm, who do they co-invest with most often, and on what specific deals.

Total funding for different rounds and various time periods is also available on the homepage of the site. This data really interests me and I hope it can maybe help someone evaluate a VC Firm or to be used as a tool when fundraising.

Do you have a team that sources all your data for you or does it come from CrunchBase? (is that the CB?)
