Thrilled to announce @getoutersignal has raised a $22M Series A. A year ago, @ZachZelner and I saw an opportunity to revolutionize personalization. We spun out a tool he’d built into a company, and got to work. In the time since, we’ve gone from a few early customers to

Simulation has the potential to be transformative, but only if it's accurate. Today, we're sharing results of a comprehensive evaluation across 2,993 questions, with an industry-leading mean TVD of 7.62% and an MAE of 3.53%. More below, including the full post on our site.

Welcome to Atum. That’s what we tell every new partner when they first touch the network. And now we’re saying it to you. Because today, @atumhq, the open payments network, a first of its kind, is live. We picked the date intentionally. Today, September 22, marks the autumnal equinox (in the northern hemisphere), a threshold through which the world passes, from one season into another. Atum occupies a similar boundary: between light and darkness, chaos and order, ending and renewal. Atum, as a platform, is positioned at the transition from closed, institution-specific payment systems to an open, programmable network. Atum is also the creator god symbol in ancient Egypt. Atum is the first, the primordial, and the originating god of creation. Atum provides the basic building blocks for payments and commerce - the infrastructure, tooling, products and services that make money move the way it ought to. Our team is comprised of leading payments and onchain experts from companies like @Visa, @coinbase, @chainlink, @CashApp, @tempo, and more. It’s a new world for payments and commerce. And it is my ultimate pleasure, passion, and life’s purpose to introduce Atum, the open payments network. We are so glad you’re here. Welcome to Atum. We do it together. → atum.xyz

I’m thrilled to share that @CrusoeAI has raised $3.9b in our Series F valuing the company at $30.9b and providing the growth capital necessary to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. 8 years in and what a journey it’s been with @Electron_Cowboy. The company is firing on all cylinders right now and our growth opportunities have never been bigger. To everyone who’s been a part of it along the way, thank you! We’re just getting started!! 🚀🚀🚀

Beyond excited to share that @highstock_x has raised a $30M Series A led by @a16z with participation from @GreylockVC, @AbstractVC, @Daybreak_Fund, and angels. We are doubling down on our mission of creating value for brands with unproductive inventory. With this raise, we are expanding our team and building on our success in beauty to unlock a new category: apparel. @omooretweets, @venturetwins and @jeff_jordan are the right partners to take this company to new heights - they've invested in great marketplaces like Instacart (I may be biased :) ), and have studied how AI will scale marketplace models that were previously too labor intensive to be financially viable. Thank you to our angels: @Max, @lennysan, JJ Zhuang (Instacart) and John Adams (Instacart). Most of all, thank you to our customers and team. We would not be here without you. Read my reflections on our journey below.

Samir Menon @blintzbase and I are thrilled to announce Sail @sailresearchco ! We build infrastructure for long-horizon agents: inference served at unbeatable prices-per-token for open models, plus sandboxes designed to run for days, weeks, or longer. We've raised $80M, w/ our seed led by @Sequoia and series A led by @KleinerPerkins. We're using this capital to build the most efficient infrastructure for long-horizon agents. What makes agents so different? Unlike a human waiting at a keyboard (top priority: speed), agents need scale, reliability, and sustainable cost. Sail finds this efficiency everywhere in the stack: we carefully choose our chips, write custom inference engines, and run a global controller that fully utilizes every computer in our fleet. Tight integration from silicon to API lets Sail open up the cost / latency frontier to our customers - the most patient agents can now access 10x more intelligence per dollar. We're excited to be working with great companies like @parallelweb, @detaildotdev,@Jackandjillai, and @quadrillion_ai to deploy long-horizon agents with trillions of tokens. Our team is thoughtful in our engineering craft and relentlessly ambitious in our pursuit of peak performance. We previously trained at companies like NVIDIA, OpenAI, Google, and so many trading firms. Now we're ready to do the work that will define our careers, in the most compute intensive market of all time. Welcome to the era of abundant intelligence. We can't wait to build with you!

Nico is a force! Proud to be backing him and the team at Telepatia!

Congrats to @SocketSecurity on their Series C at a $1B valuation. Security is a winner-take-all market. The company that sees the most attacks builds the best detection, which attracts more customers, which in turn surfaces more attacks. Socket’s flywheel is operating at scale now. We backed @feross before the market fully appreciated how large this category could become, and the pace at which enterprises have consolidated around Socket over the last year has surpassed every benchmark we track.

Congrats to @faionur and the @thestatusai team on their launch! Status is building a new kind of AI native entertainment platform. The engagement metrics are already some of the strongest we’ve seen in consumer AI, and it’s still early. Proud to have led their round.

Today we’re proud to announce that we’re leading Dust’s $40M round. Most enterprise AI is still single-player. Dust is multiplayer, humans and agents collaborating together, with knowledge compounding across the organization. 300,000+ agents have already been deployed on the platform. Dust isn’t just building AI tools. They’re building the infrastructure for AI-native companies. Excited to partner with @gabhubert, @spolu , and the @DustHQ team.
