"The company has reportedly raised $29 million, with Spark Capital leading its seed round. Sharp - the company's CEO - described West Co as emerging from the question, "What could I build that might help address just some of the terrible devastation of the human mind and heart that we've wrought the last 15 years?""
"The answer, at least in its initial form, is an app that asks users, "What's your intention for today?" Users can share their goals with friends, hopefully helping them "plan with intention, capture the reality of their days, and see the deeper threads that shape their life." Stone told the FT that the app could change significantly before fully launching to the public."
West Co, founded by Biz Stone and Evan Sharp, has raised $29 million in a seed round led by Spark Capital. The company launched an invite-only version of its first app, Tangle, in November. Tangle prompts users with the question, "What's your intention for today?" and allows users to share goals with friends. The app aims to help people plan with intention, capture the reality of their days, and see deeper threads that shape their lives. Sharp framed the project as a response to harms inflicted on the human mind and heart over the past 15 years. The app may change substantially before a public launch.
