- This is the story of how we tried investing in Arc Browser (Chrome competitor built by the team at The Browser Company). In this episode, we bring you along the journey of getting on Josh Miller's radar (CEO) and give you a look into the DMs and phone call that led to more than 3 failed attempts at investing.
If you're also a fan of Arc Browser, or are just interested in seeing what it takes to invest in a startup that doesn't want your money, this is sure to bring a smile to your face. The journey of investing in Arc has involved persistence, convincing, and even some tears. Come along the ride with us!

That line about you having tears in your eyes when you went to tell Andra about the message from Josh was hilarious 😂
Hahaha I asked Andra "wait, is that weird..?" And she laughed and said "not to me, I'm used to that being the thing you get emotional about" 😂
Would you invest in Arc Browser if you had the opportunity to? 🤔

would raise monster paper to do a dirty hostile roll-up strategy to complete a hat trick synergistic merger of Arc, Raycast, and Amie to forge one true command bar productivity super browser
I like the way you're thinking 👀 absolutely love Raycast for a myriad of reasons, but finding I'm using it less now that I'm using Arc, but still using it for different things like saved snippets (it's also nice that it works across the entire computer).
I can get behind it though, throw in Cleanshot to the mix for some killer screenshot functionality and you have your operating system replacement with Arc 😉
