TLDR
A post relays Siri cofounder Adam Cheyer’s story about fundraising in 2009. In the account, fellow cofounder Dag Kittlaus would put $100 on the table and challenge investors to book an Indian restaurant near his hotel in less than a few minutes. Investors struggled with separate services for reservations, reviews and maps. According to the anecdote, Kittlaus then asked Siri to book a highly rated Indian restaurant near the Hilton for 8 p.m., and Siri completed the task.
