The models we use every day are brilliant strangers. They forget your organization the moment a chat ends, then relearn it on the next query. Engram fixes that. It learns your world once and reuses that memory, matching frontier systems on 1-10% of the tokens. Microsoft, Notion, and Harvey are already testing it within their organizations. Congratulations to the team, and hear directly from Dan Biderman (CEO and co-founder) and Sabri Eyuboglu (CTO and co-founder) with "Leigh Marie" Braswell ⬇️

The front door of the internet used to be a search bar. Now it's AI. Our video series "History in the Making" is back, featuring more of the companies building the future at Kleiner Perkins. First up: Profound. We spent the whole day with the team in their growing New York office, watching them answer the question every brand is now asking. How does AI talk about us?

We're excited to back Sail Research, the inference platform built for long-horizon, asynchronous agents. The next wave of AI isn't a person typing into a box. It's agents running for minutes or hours, burning orders of magnitude more tokens per task. At that scale, cost and capacity beat raw latency, and teams are already hitting budget caps. Neil Movva and Samir Menon are solving this full-stack, from CUDA kernels to the API. Hear Neil and Aditya Naganath on why inference is being rebuilt for the age of agents.

Next up in our "History in the Making" series: a film about Glean. We wanted to capture a few of the company's "magic moments," so we spent the day with the team at their San Francisco office to see how they build, what the product means for customers, and the culture driving it all.

Since our 1999 investment in Google, Kleiner Perkins has long partnered with teams building the web’s core infrastructure. Today, we are co-leading Parallel’s $100M Series A with Index Ventures. Founded by Parag Agrawal, Parallel Web Systems is building the web for agents. The platform provides a native search API and index that can retrieve, organize, and rank tokens—not blue links—so AI systems can access and reason over accurate, current context. As part of the round, Mamoon Hamid will join Parallel’s board. As Parag Agrawal puts it: “Agents aren’t issuing keywords. They declare intent and receive high-signal tokens.” Watch Mamoon’s conversation with Parag ⬇️

The next generation of semiconductors, batteries, clean energy systems, and advanced manufacturing will depend on materials that have yet to be discovered. CuspAI is building the infrastructure to find them. Today, the company launched its AI Materials Foundry, a global network of data, labs, compute, and scientific expertise designed to accelerate the development of new materials. We’re excited to co-lead CuspAI’s $450 million Series B alongside NEA and partner with Chad Edwards, Max Welling, and the @CuspAI team as they expand across the United States, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Hear more from Josh Coyne , Chad and Max ⬇️

TerraFirma started with a question: when SpaceX gets to Mars, who builds the city? Noah Schochet and Noah McGuinness worked on programs including Starlink, Starshield, and Starship. They saw that even at SpaceX, physical infrastructure was often the bottleneck. Now they’re building the answer with TerraFirma: a new kind of robotics construction company already deployed on job sites in Texas. The long-term ambition goes much further. Watch Josh Coyne sit down with Noah Schochet to talk about Series A, and the future of construction on Earth and beyond. Read more about our investment:
