About

Upnext was a premium AI-enhanced read-it-later app that let users save and organize articles, newsletters, tweets, podcasts, videos, and PDFs in one library, with AI-generated summaries, annotations, and social sharing. The app extracted and parsed long-form content into a distraction-free reader, offered swipe-based review queues and daily picks, and included Twitter integration to surface trending shared content. Founded by Jeroen Seghers, Upnext later announced it was shutting down, with its team moving on to build Brief and Mailbrew.

Summary

It has raised $500K in total across 1 round, most recently a $500K Angel round in Mar 2011. Investors include Chris Sacca, Lowercase Capital and David Cohen.
