Spanner Startups

Rightly was a groundbreaking web-based word processor founded in 2005 by Sam Schalache and co-founders that pioneered real-time collaborative document editing in the browser. The product gained rapid traction after advertising on Google and being featured on TechCrunch, becoming one of the first points on the curve that demonstrated viable web-based office applications. Google acquired Rightly, and it became the foundation for Google Docs, which now has over 1 billion active monthly users.
