Raising more VC money doesn't make you a better business.
@danzitting is the CEO of Nitrogen. Before that, he founded workpapers.com and led Galvanize through its acquisition. He's seen friends lose businesses that could have succeeded because VC expectations required them to become much bigger than they could sustain.
Before taking VC money, ask: can your business realistically grow as big as those investors expect?
On Beyond the Meeting, Dan joins Aaron Klein to talk about building and leading companies, including how he got his team using AI by learning the tools himself first. Listen to the full episode for lessons you can apply to getting your own team using AI.

When AI started changing his engineers' jobs, @NitrogenWealth CEO @danzitting didn't wait to see what it would mean for everyone else.
He went first. A week alone with the tools until he was running his own day on them. Then he showed the company how, and what he'd learned along the way. Now he calls it their superpower. 💥
That's where Episode 2 of Beyond the Meeting, hosted by @AaronKlein, starts. Where it goes:
• What it's like to run a software company in the AI age
• Why the metrics that used to mean success are changing
• What software that empowers human relationships looks like in practice, and the fifteen minutes Dan spent running Nitrogen with his dad.

Ever get deja vu in a meeting?
Your notetakers took notes on the last meeting. They had what was said. They didn't have the right documents, or the concern from the Slack thread. So you started over, out loud, in the room.
Contio flows the conversation into the work. It pulls from your meetings, documents, and apps. After the call, the first draft is already started. Review it. Send it. You can surface insights from past meetings without starting over in the room.

Altruist CEO @jasonwenk said the number one thing that kept showing up on employee surveys was that they need to be better at communication.
That's a big part of what compounding workspace intelligence in Contio can solve.
You said it — but nobody wants to ask you to repeat it.
Now they don't have to.

Generic AI makes each employee faster at the work already in front of them.
Contio is built for firmwide impact. It carries context from one person's conversation into the next person's work, so the company can produce more from what it already knows.
That's compounding workspace intelligence.

AI sovereignty starts with knowing where your data is processed.
Training policies are only part of the security question. Enterprise teams also need to know where their data goes while the model is working on it, especially when that data includes sensitive conversations and intellectual property.
That is why we built Contio around private processing. We bring the AI to your data, not your data to the AI. 100% of the AI processing happens in our secure private cloud. We don’t record or store audio. We don’t train models.
Security and privacy start with architecture.

“They’re going to start building knowledge work that can replace humans.”
On Beyond the Meeting, @jasonwenk explains where the change is heading: financial firms, cash management, wealth management, and the work that happens around them.
The shift is already close enough to plan for.

Contio allows you to stay in the conversation and be more productive, whether you're a video editor like @sambergstrand or an accountant.
If your work comes from the conversations you have, Contio can improve your productivity.
Contio is the AI that turns what gets said into what gets done.
I’ve been using @ContioAI in my meetings, and the biggest change is simple: I can stay in the conversation.
Before the meeting, I open Contio so the context from earlier conversations is already there. During the meeting, I’m listening and participating. No bot in the room. I’m
Such a good tool for saving my time.
Sometimes it’s been a few days since I came up with a plan that I am about to pitch. I just tell @ContioAI to prep me for the meeting and it reminds me of everything that I had already planned and what else is still missing from the pitch.
Afterwards it takes the feedback from my team and updates the plan so I have an accurate plan with all the changes we discussed. No more trying to remember all the changes from memory.
A customer call shouldn’t cost you half a day.
You’ve got the conversation. Contio turns it into a first draft of the follow-up email and next steps, so the work starts there. Prep and follow-up move forward without taking over the rest of your schedule.
Contio turns what gets

Season 2 of Beyond the Meeting is live.

The #1 answer in their own employee surveys — from a founder whose company Vanguard just agreed to buy.

Software engineers hate meetings because the meetings are inefficient.
J.D. Mullin says they want to finish the work in front of them. A lot of meetings don’t.
You put those together and they don’t want to be in the room.
Waste of my time. I could be doing other stuff.
They get pulled into a meeting for a two-minute question with no pre-read. Sometimes nobody calls on them.
Your AI chief of staff is already on it.
Every morning, Contio reviews your email, Slack, calendar, Google Drive, and documents, then gives you a clear brief: what you’ve been working on, what’s still outstanding, what needs prep, and what deserves priority.
That is prep that happens for you not by you.
Stop re-explaining everything to your AI.
@grok now speaks Contio, so it can pull context directly from your meetings—and use it for what you want it to do next.
I wired my AI agent (I call him Jarvis) to the @ContioAI API.
Now every time a meeting ends, the context gets pushed straight into his memory.
No more "wait, what did we decide last week?"
Jarvis just knows.
If you're building with AI agents, meeting context is one of the
Your calendar told you the meeting is at 10.
It did not tell you what you owe Dana. Or that they’ve asked for the March discount twice.
Contio has the context from across your workspace so the prep can be done for you at a press of a button.
Tell it what you need next and it comes back as a sharp first draft with the context already pulled in.
You open the doc. The draft is waiting.

You open the doc. Then you close it and go find your notes. Then the CRM, to check what you promised last time. Then the thread where scope quietly changed.
You haven't written a word yet. You've just been assembling.
Contio does that for you.
