Congrats Sumanyu Sharma 🍫 and the Hamming team. From another founder building a voice AI agent: "It's a QA system for our core use-cases (things we 100% need to be right), similar to the same feature in Karpathy’s Tesla QA engine, so we don’t introduce any regressions."

Congrats @the_yuppy and Herbie on the launch. They've built an AI agent that thinks and adapts like a patent attorney. It's impossible to imagine a future where this isn't doing the bulk of the heavy lifting currently being performed by highly-paid attorneys today.

We pitched Jessica Livingston, Paul Graham , and Trevor Blackwell at their house in Palo Alto. It was my first time in CA. Bill Clerico and I had pitched dozens of Boston-based VCs, but that was our shortest and highest-bandwidth pitch by a mile, and the first time we were taken seriously.

Never thought I'd be this excited about QA, but Spur is it. Tell it what to test, and it simulates thousands of users in minutes, hunting down bugs like they owe it money. Congrats Sneha Sivakumar & Anushka Nijhawan.

Congrats Ian Laffey and team. I'm thrilled to be along for the ride. Theseus offers visual navigation for GPS-denied environments. It started off as a hackathon project, and by the end of YC S24, it was getting fast-tracked through the DOD. Keep an eye on this one.

Congrats Adit, Raunak Chowdhuri and the entire Reducto team on their $24.5M Series A led by Benchmark. I've tweeted about their growth before, and it hasn't slowed down. With customers like Vanta, Airtable, ScaleAI, and FAANG / Fortune 10 companies, they're on fire.

Congrats on the launch Ben South. It's exciting to see your vision come to life. The design process with Variant is both intuitive and radically reimagined.

Congrats on the raise Solidroad! In my last batch as a visiting partner at YC, I rejected them. They applied again and were accepted the following batch. The next time I saw them, I was blown away by the traction. The trajectory of this company is off the charts.

Open Core Ventures starts companies around high-potential OSS projects. The CTO is typically a top contributor, but when recruiting founding CEOs, we explicitly prioritize aptitude and ambition over domain expertise. Kedify is a great example: lnkd.in/gxwACuJK

Congrats to the Blaxel team on the announcement. Thrilled to be an early investor in the computing layer for the next trillion AI agents. If you're building in agentic AI, take a look.
