Imagining Arc by The Browser Company

Focusing on the only thing that matters: a leapfrog product


Listen Later

Fresh off the board call, Josh shares a recap of the board's feedback on our current top three questions. From how early to ship Arc 2.0, to weighing familiar interfaces, breaking down false binaries between growth and monetization, and focusing on the only thing that matters—building a leapfrog browser for a better way to use the internet.

Touching on the complexities of growth, monetization, and building a product users cannot imagine living without, this episode dives deep into the journey of reimagining Arc — and why the team is currently finding inspiration in Pixar's "Encanto" for this next phase.
