    AI-powered voice recorders that capture and summarize conversations.

    Plaud is a rare bootstrapped hardware+AI success story hitting $250M revenue run rate in 3 years. They're aggressively hiring a full design org in SF — Head of Design, product designers, industrial designers, visual designers, and UX researchers — signaling serious investment in design as a differentiator.
