In this tell-all, we’ll give you a peek into the Stack browser and tackle some pressing questions, including: Is it sensible to invest in a browser? What can we learn from the rise of new productivity tools (👋Notion)? What makes Stack an “unDutch investment”? Lastly, we’ll end with the 5 reasons we’re excited for what’s to come.
Never before have we experienced more of an “a-ha” moment than when we met the Stack team. The problem Stack exists to solve is both evident and deeply familiar: utter chaos in our browsers.
Average tab counts of over 30… with the magic One Tab button as our only escape, that will zip it all closed… safely stored in an infinite list of browser tabs never to be opened again… a 21st century Pandora’s box.
All of the Peak Capital team was – and is – convinced that browser chaos is a real problem that takes a serious toll on our productivity as screen workers. But… would Stack hold the promise to bring inner zen to our browser lives?
Within our team, about 30% immediately adopted the Stack browser. Admittedly, some of us struggled to change the work habits built into our systems over decades. Nevertheless, we realized that the problem is there, the solution fits, and better yet: we’re not alone. With us, over 25,000 users ranging from the USA to Japan (promoted intensely by a few of Japan’s biggest productivity gurus) turn to Stack to bring peace to their workflow.
So, all that is needed now for the Stack team to achieve global domination is to find the proper onboarding flow and optimize the user experience (OK, not all…there is a bit more on their to-do list while scaling their business, obviously). But all in all, a challenge we are keen to take on.
In the team’s own words, Stack is:
“not a browser, nor is it a computer program; but it’s an idea: the idea to make our new virtual home pleasant and human.
…we just started with the browser.”
That starting point is Stack, the “productivity browser.” To give you a quick 101, flip through the screengrabs below and download the Stack Browser here.
