6 years ago, 3 Yale students decided to drop out and build @Prepared_HQ to fix America’s 911 system. Today, @michael__chime stops by for his first interview since announcing their acquisition by @axon_us. We dig deep into Prepared’s path to PMF and decision to sell (including…
The average American spends an entire workday each month just navigating healthcare logistics for their family. @_JonWang and @_jeff_liu imagine a different world, and are pushing at an incredible tempo to make it happen. With the agentic AI platform they’re building…
Today, @axon_us announced its planned acquisition of @Prepared_HQ. @michael__chime, Dylan Gleicher, @NealSoni00 and the entire team have earned every bit of this impressive outcome (in just 6 intense years!) This team dropped out of Yale to take on building for American safety…
What excites me about Applied Intelligence is we’re telling all the stories, not only the big names, but also the quiet and often scrappy companies unlocking huge impact with AI. Case in point: @Linktree_ and how they’re putting AI to work.

Working on Torch 🔥 Unified health record + LLM in one iOS app. Syncs records from hospitals, labs, Function, One Med, PDFs etc. Makes it simple & fast to get all your health data in one place + get LLM help making sense of it. Reply/RT for TestFlight invite. More below ⬇️
Running out of new ways to describe just how outlier @fal’s growth has been these past few years. The numbers paint a good picture: 2M+ plus developers. 300+ enterprise customers. Billions of AI-generated assets monthly. 60x revenue in the last year, just crossing $95M. $1.5B…
After 12+ years of publishing tactical company building playbooks on The Review, we’ve decided to start a brand-new publication, dedicated to AI actually working in production. We're calling it Applied Intelligence. The aim is to close a gap we’ve spotted: Everyone's talking…
I cannot understate how excited I am about @getsolidroad announcing their $6.5M seed round (which I was honored to lead @firstround) so I can talk about them publicly! More on their contrarian AI approach in the $400B+ customer service industry & why I frickin love this team 👇
Very excited that @withdavidai is announcing their Series A, just 6 months after we led their Seed!! Not just that, but they raised their A from 2 exceptional investors -- @jaltma at @_altcapital & @sarahcat21 at @AmplifyPartners. I wanted to share why our excitement for David…
Plenty of venture wisdom, hard numbers and well-placed metaphors.
Plenty of venture wisdom, hard numbers and well-placed metaphors.
So proud of @reductoai's $25M Series A led by @benchmark. It’s CRAZY how much progress @aditabrm & @raunakdoesdev have made since we led their seed @firstround just 1 year ago: built the industry leading benchmark, won some HUGE customers, massive growth with a super lean team.
I've worked with many companies in all my years @firstround, but I can't remember seeing one that has grown revenue since the day we invested as quickly as Assort Health has. @_JonWang & @JeffLiu1626585 set out to build an AI-powered voice agent for healthcare with a simple but…
B2B sales is hitting a ceiling with the “more is more” approach (more data, more emails, more calls). But the best sellers have always known that quality beats quantity. I’ve worked with the @actively_ai team super closely since leading their seed in early 2022, and I can tell…
So psyched for @neelkunjur and @KaranKunjur announcing @K2SpaceCo’s $110M Series B on Bloomberg today. It’s been remarkable how fast this team has turned an insanely ambitious “imagine if” into “watch this” (literally — I had the privilege of witnessing them fly their hardware in…
Ever since @evolution_iq’s $730M acquisition in late December, I’ve been thinking a lot about why their business worked — and what other founders can learn from it. It’s one of the first major vertical AI exits, so there’s lots worth studying. The founders, @tvykruta, Mike…
Excellent @Forbes profile from @alexrkonrad today telling the story of @kareemamin and @vxanand’s journey building @clay_gtm. It captures the unique path of a company @firstround has had the privilege to support since their seed round in 2017. It's been remarkable to watch…
Excited to support @SurbhiSarnaSF and the Collate team on their mission to let life science companies focus on what matters most (advancing human health) by minimizing the burden of documentation!

(1/7) One of the 🚀FASTEST🚀 growing companies I’ve ever seen, @reductoai, is announcing some news! So I thought I’d share a bit about why I was so excited to work with @aditabrm & @raunakdoesdev and to lead their Seed round at @firstround in the Spring. reducto.ai/blog/seed-round
