Town reaches unicorn status with $108M round just months after launch
Town raised $108 million in a Series B round co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, hitting unicorn status just months after launch. That kind of velocity signals something real: users are ready to move beyond traditional spreadsheets, and Town is meeting them there. For a deeper look at how AI is reshaping workflows, from research bottlenecks to training and deployment, our piece on AI accelerating research ideas offers a natural next read.
Automate Next Monday's Date Without Complex Formulas
You want the cell to always show next Monday's date, no matter when you open the file. That's a smart ask, and you're right that `=TODAY()+5` only works one day a week. The fix is a formula that calculates the difference to the upcoming Monday dynamically. For instance, `=TODAY()+ (7-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2))` gets you there, though you'll need a small tweak if today is Monday. It's a common hurdle, and you're not alone in tackling it.

President bought SpaceX shares two weeks after its blockbuster IPO, entering near the mid-$150 range. By Monday, the stock had drifted back to its $135 debut price. That is a swift round-trip, and it raises a fair question about timing. We are not here to second-guess his portfolio, but the dip does invite scrutiny.
