Today we launch 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈— $88m, Europe’s largest dedicated pre-seed fund. Built for founders with just a concept and the conviction to chase it. In the last three years with Fund I, the Concept team has partnered with 44 companies at day zero — saying yes when others say no. We’ve led 90% of our rounds, backed founders in every sector from commodities to robotics, and stood behind their ambition to build multi-billion-dollar outcomes from the very first cheque. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: •⁠ ⁠$88m — significantly oversubscribed, with first close in just 3 weeks •⁠ ⁠Backed by world-class global LPs: Top Tier Capital Partners Partners, @MarktlikCapital, Aldea Ventures, Dominus, Granite and Integra Partners. •⁠ 70%+ of our Fund I portfolio founders joined as LPs, alongside some of Europe’s best founders — including unicorn founders (), Amar Shah (Wayve), and Mik Attisani (Faceit) •⁠ ⁠Fund I is a top 1% fund globally for its vintage on all metrics, with $450m+ raised by our founders so far 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: Anrea Munsamy, Ariel Rahamim, Jeff Chowdhry, Lauren Sauerland, Oliver Oliver Kicks and Seyon Indran — building Concept with you as outsiders to VC has been my greatest joy. From late nights to tough decisions, from wins to crises — sharing those highs and lows with you has shaped a people-first fund that truly reflects who we are. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐏𝐬: those who believed on day one, with a 90% re-up rate — thank you for believing in our concept and backing us again. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: thank you for trusting us at day zero. This fund is for your ambition. A huge thank you to Alex Macdonald and the sequel team , as a value add LP, for helping us bring this incredible video to life (watch to the end!) At Concept Ventures , we don’t see sectors, we see people. Whether you’re in UK, Italy, Poland, Spain or beyond — first-time or repeat founder — if you have the ambition to build globally from Europe, our door is open. Just bring your Concept!

SuperteamNG 🤝 Nigerian Founders Over the past week, we hosted the Pitch Clinic IRL and an incredible Demo Day 🔥 Here’s a full recap of everything that went down 👇 1. Pitch Clinic IRL – Kickoff Founders, mentors, and builders gathered in person for an immersive session. The day began with networking, introductions, and setting the stage for sharpening pitches. 2. Workshop Sessions We covered the fundamentals of a great pitch: - Framing the problem - Showcasing the solution - Market sizing & traction - Storytelling that sticks 3. Interactive Feedback Rounds Founders pitched in small groups, receiving targeted feedback from mentors and peers. Immediate, constructive advice helped refine their decks and delivery. 4. Live Pitch Practice Participants simulated real investor pitches. Mentors gave hands-on corrections, sharpening confidence, timing, and clarity. 5. Q&A Drills We pressure-tested founders with tough, investor-style questions, preparing them to answer confidently under the spotlight. 6. Demo Day – The Big Stage After all the practice, founders stepped up at Demo Day to showcase their startups to a wider audience of investors, mentors, and community members. 7. High-Energy Presentations The pitches were sharp, concise, and compelling. Every founder showed massive growth from the Clinic, proof of the power of preparation. 8. Engaged Audience Potential Investors and mentors asked thoughtful questions, gave feedback, and connected with founders on potential opportunities. 9. Closing the Loop The journey from Pitch Clinic ➝ Demo Day was designed to transform raw ideas into polished investor-ready pitches. And it worked. The growth was visible. Huge thanks to the mentors, partners, and founders who brought the energy and made this a success.

ETH/ACC at Devcon 8 | Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 wasn’t just a Demo Day. It was a statement about where Ethereum is going, and who is building that future. 22 teams stepped onto one stage, and the ecosystem listened. As Losi opened the room: “We’re not just here to see founders or meet investors. We’re here because we believe in what’s possible when technology is used for good.” Odisea, alongside partners across the ecosystem; Founder School, Ethereumfndn’s Founder Success Team, Base, Uniswap Foundation, Agora, Protocol Labs, Arbitrum, Octant, Mantle, OpenZeppelin, Alchemy, Virtuals Ventures, Ledger, Founder School, Rayo Capital Group (Rayo), AKINDO | The world’s first Buildathon Platform🌊⚒️, and Founders Forge came together to spotlight founders building with clarity, intention, and ambition. And they delivered. For our Acelera cohort, BitFinding, Bu Finance, Kompensa, Safu, A0x, and Lid, this was the culmination of six intense weeks of product work, GTM, storytelling, and pitch practice. For the 16 additional teams who joined us on stage; DerbyFish, Alphix, Upshot, Index Network, Seedy Frens, Lumis, Openbands, PistachioFi, 𝗞𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗔, mimic, skyFall, Talentir, gm tribe!, Peanut, Delta and neurobro this was a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with world-class founders, to pressure-test their narratives, and to share the work that will define the next cycle of crypto and AI innovation. ETH/ACC was about proof. Proof that LATAM builders are not playing catch-up, they are setting the pace. Thank you to every founder who took the stage, to every partner who backed this vision, to every judge and panelist who brought rigor, clarity, and high-trust feedback, and to the entire Odisea team whose months of work made ETH/ACC possible. latam/acc

We had a fantastic, highly engaged conversation at the 4th ಮುಂದೆ ಬನ್ನಿ meetup in Bengaluru yesterday. When we locked March 1 as the date, we honestly did not realize there was a T20 world cup match the same day. But registrations were done a week in advance. We had 100 sign ups. Even after 8 to 10 dropouts, there were 15 plus people constantly checking if they could still join. And when we got there, the house was full. We started at 4 and the conversations went on till 8.30. 99% people stayed till the very end. That energy, that intent to learn and engage, is what makes this community special. A big thank you to Vittal for being at his candid best while breaking down how fundraising actually works in the real world. What VCs truly look for. The common mistakes founders make. The way he calls things out directly, without any sugar coating, was honestly refreshing. This is the kind of reality based conversation founders need, not generic gyan. We then had an equally engaging session by Jyothirmayee JT. Everyone talks about building a product. But when it comes to getting the first 10 customers, most founders fall into the same traps. Spend on performance marketing. Post online and hope customers show up. She took the discussion in a different direction. Product can come later. Market readiness comes first. What does real customer segmentation look like. Is the need functional, emotional, or impulse driven. What truly increases the probability of your idea working. It was intense and extremely practical. We then had 5 amazing founders from our community pitch their ideas in a 5 minute contest. What made me happy was the diversity. One from Ed-tech SaaS. One from automotive. One from food tech. One from a travel marketplace. And one building a SaaS product for the interior design space. The feedback they received from the guests was pretty sharp and actionable. Special thanks to Kailash nath, our chief judge, who was not keeping well but still made time to travel and join us, listen to every pitch, and offer thoughtful feedback. And congratulations to Sripad, founder of rentontrip from Mysuru for winning the best pitch of the day. Overall, the feeling of community was overwhelming. This truly feels like the beginning. We will take this across the state. We will hit more cities and build more conversations. A stronger entrepreneurial network from Karnataka that believes it can shape its own future. In an age of AI disruption, optimism alone is not enough. Founders need real knowledge, real do’s and don’ts, and access to honest conversations early in their journey. If we keep doing this consistently, I genuinely believe we will see many more successful entrepreneurs emerge from Karnataka over the next 10 years. A big thank you to Supreeth Kashyap from Wellbi, World of MysorePak, Serene Candle Studio, Malgudi Amruth Chaha and BrewLife for sponsoring goodies and beverages. Next stop could be Mysuru, Kalburgi, or Shivamogga.

We’re thrilled to share that Outset has raised $17M in Series A funding, led by 8VC to help companies better understand their customers. When michael hess and I founded Outset, we set out to solve a critical problem: truly understanding your customer is painfully slow, expensive, and at times, impossible. It shouldn’t be. We believed AI could change this by focusing on the human side of AI. So we built the world’s first AI-interviewer. An AI agent that asked questions, listened, and learned from real humans. By removing the barriers of traditional research and allowing companies to have deeper conversations with more customers more quickly, we could help teams infuse their products with genuine human understanding at a speed and scale previously impossible. So what was the moment we knew we were onto something? When WeightWatchers ran that first pilot back in early 2023. Participants shared incredible amounts of depth, all with the world’s first AI-interviewer. We got a call the next day from their head of research: "You built a thing. We want that thing. How do I pay you for it?" That validation has turned into explosive growth. We've doubled our revenue in just the last 4 months alone, with >50 enterprise customers like Nestlé, Microsoft, and WeightWatchers trusting us to unlock deeper customer insights. All of this built on the backs of a truly special early team with 0 employee turnover. This funding round was led by 8VC, with participation from an incredible group, including: Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, Y Combinator / Garry Tan, Adverb Ventures /April Underwood / Jessica Verrilli ), Alt Capital / Jack Altman , Rebel Fund, Genius Ventures, Ritual Capital, and many more. So what's next? We're scaling our engineering and go-to-market teams to build the world's most powerful agentic customer research platform. All focused on one mission: helping companies better understand humans. To our customers, investors, and team - thank you for believing in this vision. Now check out the video to see Outset in action, testing the video itself with real people!

I'm deeply grateful 🙏 to share that Alpaca has raised a $150 million Series D, valuing the company at $1.15 billion 🦙 🚀 This fundraise was especially humbling because of the level of interest. The round was very oversubscribed, with strong enthusiasm from a wide range of investors around the world 🌏 🌎 🌍 . Seeing that conviction in what Alpaca is building has been incredibly motivating and energizing. What grounded me through the process was realizing that everything I shared with investors was about what our team had already built and delivered. Reaching unicorn status 🦄 is a meaningful milestone, and to me, it reflects past execution, not future guarantees. If anything, it tightens the helmet strap. It raises the bar on discipline, foundation, and how intentionally we think about what comes next. 🫡 I’m incredibly grateful for the support from leading fintech investors, founders who have built global companies, and top global banks. We’re humbled to be here, thankful for the trust, and more focused than ever on execution and building infrastructure that lasts.

Today's a special day for Lightspeed India. Introducing INDIA ASCENDS'2026, a program purpose-built for India's youngest (>25yo), boldest, cohort of world shapers & change makers. If you are one of them, put your headphones on, turn to volume to max, click on the video, and read on :) Building something is hard but building something the world has never seen before is nigh impossible. There is this concept of not just building a kingdom, but building a kingdom at the edge of a precipice -- founders who want to go all the way to the edge of what’s possible, beyond which there is no land, there is no road, the compass stops working, and they look into the abyss, and say ‘yes, this is for me, this will be my life’s work’. These are the rarest of birds that take the plunge and know they’d fall before they fly, but when they fly, oh how glorious do they look. We Lightspeed India have been fortunate to partner with several of these founders. We met Pixxel when the founders Awais Ahmed Kshitij Khandelwal were just 22yo. We backed Airbound when Naman Pushp was just 17. We’ve backed many others doing their life’s work at absolute cutting edge of what’s possible - Arun Vinayak of Exponent Energy, Pratyush Kumar & Vivek Raghavan of Sarvam Devdut Dalal & Xavi Laguarta at Mitti Labs and more. Beyond our portfolio, there is some amazing founders doing their life’s work - Pawan Chandana Skyroot Aerospace , Soham Sankaran PopVax 🇮🇳 , khushi Aspera, N A Gokul CynLr, Adrian Schmidt sarla aviation, Deepinder Goyal LAT Aerospace & Temple, Manu J Nair @EtherealXTech & many more. We need more of these founders coming out of India. Not just that, we need to fill gap that exists in this market which is in backing really young (<25yo) founders who are tinkering in school or college labs, or spending their weekends building, experimenting and failing fast, and are truly building globally competitive and de novo tech that, if it works, can have huge consequences in the world. To that end, we are proud to launch INDIA ASCENDS'2026 -- our flagship yearly program for the most cracked young builders in the country doing incredible cutting-edge research in robotics, quantum, space, energy, AI, bio or more. Our program applications open today and we’ll select 12-15 of the best, boldest ideas that we think has the potential to shape the future. We’ll bring them all to BLR for a 2-day program. Each participant will get ~$100K in support from our partners Anthropic Groq Inc , Google Cloud Amazon Web Services and we’ll also select 3-4 winners who will get venture funded to build their dream starting from $200K all the way to $3M and almost $500K of non-dilutive credits & grants from our partners. We look forward to seeing the boldest ideas you've been working on. Link to apply in the first comment:

On Sunday, something sacred unfolded in Katwe. It wasn’t an event. It wasn’t a program. It wasn’t a project. It was a homecoming of the soul — a community remembering who we once were, who we still are, and who we can become if we choose each other. For hours, Katwe breathed differently. Children played freely. Neighbors sat together without suspicion. Strangers shared meals. Young people danced, mothers laughed, and men softened their voices so children could hear the kindness we grew up on. At the heart of it all were chessboards — quiet teachers of patience, strategy, and hope. The same values that shaped our communities long before life became loud. This is what Galui Foundation dreams of — children seen, guided, supported, and invited to imagine a future bigger than their circumstances. And on this day, that dream came alive in ways numbers or budgets cannot measure, but you feel it in a child’s eyes when they finally feel safe. The G Community exists for moments like this: •Moments where parents, elders, youth, leaders, and partners sit together, not to impress, but to remember their shared responsibility. •Moments where we confront what has been lost and choose to rebuild anyway. •Moments where the forgotten are held, the young are encouraged, and the weary are reminded that transformation begins with simple acts, not miracles. Community was never infrastructure. It has always been people — showing up, giving what they can, choosing each other again and again. On Sunday, Katwe told its own story — not of pity, but of possibility. Not of slums, but of strength. Not of brokenness, but of rebuilding. To everyone who showed up, contributed, volunteered, prayed, played, cooked, guided, mentored, protected, and loved — you didn’t just attend an event. You helped rebuild a home. If Sunday taught us anything, it’s this: A community can rise from within — one child, one family, one shared moment at a time. 📷 Shemar thank you sir for bringing this story to life. The NGO Forum CivLegacy Foundation QWESHUNGA Galui Foundation Nictim Jewellery Gazaland UOX Thank you.

I’m excited to share that today Glean raised $150M in Series F funding at a $7.2B valuation — accelerating our mission to transform how enterprises unlock their collective knowledge through AI.

The round was led by Wellington Management, with participation from new and existing investors. Thank you to our new investors: Matt Witheiler, Wellington Management Ethan Choi Khosla Ventures Matt Pieterse, Bicycle Capital Arvind Ayyala, Geodesic Capital Tyler Flint, Archerman Capital And thank you to our existing investors for your support this round: Apoorv Agrawal, Brad Gerstner Jon Barad, Capital One Ventures Vibhor Rastogi, Citi Ventures Lucas Swisher and David Schneider, COATUE Rahul Mehta, DST Global quentinclark, General Catalyst Tengbo Li, ICONIQ Somesh Dash, IVP Mamoon Hamid, Kleiner Perkins Ansaf Kareem, Latitude Capital Ravi Mhatre, Lightspeed Rajeev Dham, Sapphire Ventures Sonya Huang 🐥, Sequoia Capital To our customers, partners, investors, community, and everyone at team Glean – you’ve all helped us reach this amazing milestone and your commitment to Glean drives our joint success. With this exceptional group of investors behind us, we’re positioned to continue our incredible momentum into the next phase of growth as we deepen our product innovation, grow our partner ecosystem, and scale internationally.

Attendance was down AND I didn't get the coveted Charles Hoskinson selfie at this year's @NFTxLV. But here's why it doesn't bother me one bit: The only thing better than a conversation with Charles is a conversation with friends. I met some of you for the first time, like @j_moyns, Demosthenes, Squashua 🍩, VivaLaCoin, @cashpognft, and Goofycrisp, to only name a few. I wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for the Cardano community. Seeing web3innovationnerds and Charles show up for the NFT space was another highlight. Not only did they attend, but they also showed up financially as sponsors. They wanted this event to happen just as much as we did. Say what you will about what can be improved, but this is what supporting the community looks like. I loved the vibe. It was professional and organized without feeling sterile and serious. It reminded me more of a great community farmers market. Lower attendance meant that founders could have more meaningful conversations. It was less overwhelming and felt more personal. This is what makes Cardano unique in the first place and something we should lean into. NFTxLV doesn't have to be a smaller version of every other crypto conference. I had great conversations with 25 projects in 1 day, from well-established ones like cornucopias and CHERI BOTHA to exciting newcomers like @rflxt, Grabb.it, and WayUp. Massive thanks to everyone who took the time to chat. Was the conference perfect? No. Can we do a better job of bringing people in from outside the Cardano bubble? Yes. More on that in a video later this week. But just like last year, I left Vegas feeling re-energized and excited about our space. It reminded me that what we do creates real value for real people. See you in 2024. (Shoutout to HOLD for that banger of a song)

On May 12, 2025, HUMAIN was launched. One year later, I reflect with immense pride on what this team has accomplished in such a short period of time. What many people may not realize is that HUMAIN was never designed to be a single company. From day one, the vision was much bigger. In parallel, we have been establishing five companies simultaneously: • HUMAIN Core • HUMAIN Compute • HUMAIN Intelligence • HUMAIN Shift • HUMAIN Ventures Each with a distinct mandate, but all working together toward one mission: building a national AI champion designed for the age of intelligence. Our foundational year was not defined only by ambition, but by execution across multiple fronts at once. First, Foundation. We built HUMAIN from the ground up, establishing the operational backbone of the company while integrating strategic assets, talent, and investments from both government and private sectors. This created the foundation for a unified AI ecosystem under one organization. Second, Culture & Alignment. We made a deliberate decision to build differently: flat, agile, and execution-driven. We shifted from role-based work to outcome-based ownership. Titles mattered less than builders. Mission mattered more than hierarchy. Third, Product Creation. We made a bold choice early on: we would not buy software, we would build it ourselves. This led to the creation of our AI-native stack, including HUMAIN ONE, HUMAIN Fabric, HUMAIN Chat, HUMAIN Create, HUMAIN Brain, and HUMAIN Horizon Pro. Today, HUMAIN operates increasingly on its own technology stack, transforming from a consumer of technology into a creator and exporter of it. Fourth, Infrastructure Build. AI leadership requires infrastructure at scale. Over the past year, HUMAIN moved aggressively across data centers, compute, and strategic global partnerships to position Saudi Arabia as a global AI infrastructure and inference hub. We are targeting 250 MW of deployed capacity by the end of 2026 and scaling toward multi-gigawatt infrastructure in the years ahead. Fifth, Global Positioning & Capital Strategy. Through strategic partnerships, ecosystem development, and diversified funding approaches, HUMAIN strengthened its position as a company focused on long-term AI leadership, innovation, and intellectual property creation. But beyond all of this, the most important achievement was the people. To every HUMAIN builder who worked day and night to help stand this company on its feet: thank you. Startups are never easy. Building five companies simultaneously is even harder. What this team accomplished in one year would normally take many organizations several years to achieve. I am incredibly proud of what HUMAIN stands for, what we are building, and the mission we are on together. The era of consuming technology is behind us. The era of building and exporting it has begun. And this is only the beginning. #HUMAIN #HUMAINBuilders #AI #TheEndOfLimits

At a $32 Billion Exit.. Wiz "probably sold low" "Wiz just finished its biggest ever quarter in terms of revenues. So you look at how amazing the business is & suddenly $32B does not look like an irrational number. … we probably sold low." In 2018, Gili Raanan (Cyberstarts), Doug Leone (Sequoia), & Shardul Shah (Index) backed Wiz with a $20M seed at a ~$66M post-money valuation. That’s ~485× from seed to exit in ~6 years. Gili Raanan // Cyberstarts doug leone Sequoia Capital Shardul Shah Index Ventures "But whenever I get into a journey with brilliant entrepreneurs you never know where the journey will take you because there are so many elements that dictate how big it becomes. A lot of that is execution internally, but also market timing, luck, competition, and the global economy that may or may not limit the availability of capital to your venture. There are so many things beyond your control when you start the journey. Wiz is definitely an example of a company that almost had perfect execution from day one. I was the seed investor together with Doug Leone from Sequoia & Shardul Shah from Index Ventures, and together we created a syndicate of $20 million that valued the company at around $66 million post. That's how we got into the journey sometime in 2018. I knew the Wiz team from their previous ventures so it was very organic for me to back them. Although many people say today, “Of course it was obvious they would be super successful.” It wasn't obvious at all. Beforehand they were founders of a company called Adallom which was sold for about $300 million, which is nice but definitely not spectacular. So they were similar to many other founders. We made a deal and then I asked them, “Okay so what do you do?” And they had a very different direction than what Wiz does today. The company wasn't even named Wiz. It was called Beyond Security and it was dealing with securing satellite offices. Then we started the sunrise process & figured out that the original idea was an okay idea but it would not get them to real greatness. They shifted to cloud security, a market they knew very well from Microsoft, and I believe that was one of the major advantages they had back in 2019. Back then they were one of the very few teams worldwide that actually knew how to do cloud security right. And then they really perfected product market fit. In the Wiz case all those personas mapped into a single person in real life — the CISO, the Chief Information Security Officer. He had the pain, he had the authority, he could use the product, and he had the budget. And that created the perfect storm for Wiz because it made their sales cycle super fast."

They shifted to cloud security, a market they knew very well from Microsoft, and I believe that was one of the major advantages they had back in 2019. Back then they were one of the very few teams worldwide that actually knew how to do cloud security right. And then they really perfected product market fit. In the Wiz case all those personas mapped into a single person in real life — the CISO, the Chief Information Security Officer. He had the pain, he had the authority, he could use the product, and he had the budget. And that created the perfect storm for Wiz because it made their sales cycle super fast."

We raised a $135M Series A! 8090’s Series A was led by Salesforce Ventures and joined by WNDR, Craft Ventures, The Production Board, and LAUNCH. We also had the support of a group of esteemed angels including Nikesh Arora, Cliff Robbins, Adam D’Angelo, Shyam Ravindran, Abhi Arun, and Thomas Laffont. We’re grateful for their support. It validates 8090’s mission and traction so far, but mostly it accelerates the work ahead. The capital will go to two places. The first is hiring more people, because the demand we have is accelerating rapidly. The second is investing in the compute and infrastructure needed to keep delivering our solutions at high quality and reliability. 8090 works with the biggest, hardest, most demanding customers in the most regulated industries: healthcare, insurance, life sciences, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, financial services, and the United States government. We help them win by using our AI-enabled Software Factory to design and build entire new systems, refactor old ones, and find and accelerate their edge. Our view is that as Software Factory is used more and more to do mission-critical work inside industries with the least tolerance for error and the most oversight, it will be used to bring transparency, consistency and control to work everywhere. And as we expand the potential of the biggest organizations, we are also building a playbook and a series of network effects into Software Factory that will be valuable to everyone, from SMBs to solo founders. With much gratitude, back to work… PS - A note on why I am doing this as CEO, rather than from the board. This is one of those rare moments when the technological ground is moving so ferociously underneath all of us that the decisions made in the next few years will set the stage for the next twenty. AI can be the grand equalizer. It is the thing that can give everybody a shot, and I would like to help it achieve that potential. Since I left Facebook, I was waiting for a moment like this to return to a full-time operating role. I was a demanding manager back then, but I felt I had no choice given how powerful and undeniable what we were building was. I am convinced that what we are building now is even more important, so there was no decision to make except to be all in.

Beam just raised $7M! every year, over $150 trillion moves across borders. those funds reach everything from global commerce and payroll to humanitarian aid and migrant remittances. unfortunately, most of that money still flows through old systems weighed down by delays, fees, and opacity. we started beam (acq Modern Treasury) in 2022 to fix this. we knew stablecoins would be a foundation for a financial system that finally works at internet speed. a system that moves value globally, instantly, and transparently. but to get there, we had to connect it to the infra businesses already rely on. so we built something from the ground up: a first-of-its-kind payment service provider (PSP) that pairs the efficiency of stablecoins (the world’s first truly global settlement layer) with the familiarity of instant payment networks (RTP, FedNow, Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, etc.). the end result being the fastest, cheapest, and smartest way to get money into the hands of businesses, governments, nonprofits, and people. today, companies like Morse (formerly Sling Money), CoalaPay.org, Antimetal, Hyperspace, Braid, Shaga Team, Shield, and goldenvoice use Beam to power everything from bulk creator payouts and wallet top-ups to treasury management and vendor disbursements. it’s clear there’s never been a better way to move money from point A to point B. the last few months have marked a major shift in momentum. we welcomed Frank Pinto (Frank) as our Engineering Lead and Scott Elliot as our Compliance Lead. we’ve seen a surge in demand, we’re shipping faster than ever, and the timing feels right. regulations are shifting. corporates are jumping in. the market is finally catching up to the future we’ve been building toward. to keep up with the pace, we’re going to need more hands on deck. starting with a Senior AE to help bring stablecoins to even more businesses around the world. the next few months will be even more exciting. we have a lot on the roadmap to deliver more value to banks, fintechs, traditional PSPs, merchants and the builders modernizing financial infra at every layer. to everyone who’s supported us on this journey, thank you. building a startup comes with many sacrifices. but when you believe deeply in what you’re building, and you feel the momentum from partners, customers, and supporters… you know you’re on the right track. to our investors, Castle Island Ventures, Archetype, Arca, BanklessVC, Verda Ventures MiniPay fund, and Shack15 Ventures, we’re grateful for your conviction in what comes next. we’re now one step closer to connecting stablecoins natively to every instant payment rail in the world. P.S. huge thanks to Ryan Lawler from Axios for covering the raise! check out the article in the comments to learn more about this round

First off thank you. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible for $FUZZY to make it to XRP Las Vegas. Not only did we show up but we showed out. Im overwhelmed with gratitude right now on so many fronts. Gratitude for the $FUZZY Devs Not David and Not Brad for weaving the story of $FUZZY and allowing us to represent $FUZZY at XRP Las Vegas. From my self and everyone who helped organize the booth BLUE FuzzyClaw 🇺🇸 Not RaptorJesus Not Jon AD ILLY it was one of thee greatest honors we could have received to be able to do this and to be able to teach people about $XRP and why $FUZZY is a $XRP Maxi For the community thank you all so much, words cannot express my gratitude. we all came together to raise the funds and we could not have done any of this without the belief from the community and the conviction to see it though to make this vision we hold a reality. For everyone one who was able to make the trip and for those who were sending support from a far who could not make it I assure you we could feel your enthusiasm every step of the way and we did everything in our power to embody that enthusiasm. Lastly Gratitude for the attendees and vendors for giving us your time to hear the story that is fuzzybear. We are truly blessed to have received such warm reciprocation from everyone we spoke with. It was truly special, every conversation. This weekend will go down in history as the weekend $FUZZY took over XRP Las Vegas and $FUZZY community members taught a new group of people the story of fuzzybear and the narrative it weaves in and around $XRP. $FUZZY is not just a memecoin, atleast not to me, fuzzy is a movement, an idea made taginable. $FUZZY to me is the flagship that will lead the $XRP Ledger forward. Its a way to rekindle the belief of $XRP into a new wave of holders, while being a way to onboard people to the $XRP Ecosystem and teach them how to use the ledger as it was intended to be used. Fuzzy is meant to teach people about the story of XRP and show people why XRP is truly special. See its not about us individually but rather the idea we all choose to stand behind as ideas are bullet proof. This past weekend cultivated a spark of enthusiasm that the XRP ecosystem needed and the best part is we are only just getting started and the best is yet to come. There is no limit to how high we can go so onwards and upwards my Fuzzy family. So be the change you wish to see and let's enter a new reality Lets jump timelines together as we see $FUZZY awaken the ledger. Stay Fuzzy along the way, to new skys we climb to better days in sight Fuzzy is the one who will lead the XRPL to new heights Stay Fuzzy JG

Last week was my last week at Coinbase 🛡️ and Base, and I'll be moving on to what's going to be a very exciting next chapter. This is both an announcement and a love letter to the entire Base team. 💌 It's hard to believe how much we packed into the last year and more. I traveled around APAC covering builders and their stories, built the Base India community from the ground up, worked with creator communities, and built AI-powered distribution systems and products that changed how we shipped content. I marketed Baseapp, backed builders and projects across the ecosystem, and tried to wear every hat in between. Somewhere in it all, I became a sharper and better version of myself. To everyone I have worked with across Base - thank you. jesse.base.eth Xen, thank you for being the most incredible leaders. And two people I have to thank on their own: Saumya Saxena and Ahaan Raizada - you're my day ones, my team, and somewhere along the way, far more than that. You already know how special you are to me. Thank you, for everything - especially for pushing me when I didn't know I could do better. Always going to be rooting for Base 🟦 Now - I'm so excited to be joining Amit Piyush M, three of the rare, genuinely great founders I've met, to build what I think is one of the most exciting products in the space: PRED. More on that soon.

CNN’s Josh Campbell admits the ICE officer’s cellphone video of his deadly confrontation with Renee Good that the thud heard at the end *might be* sound of the officer being “struck by that vehicle,” but it *might NOT* and instead “could be from you know, the phone on his clothing.” He adds the video showed “wasn’t, you know, coming head on at that agent, you know, trying to mow him over.” “Well, this is a critical new angle. This was the actual vantage point of the officer. And we know that not many immigration officers actually wear body worn cameras. But, in this instance, the immigration agent was holding his phone up, essentially filming this encounter, which we can now see in this video obtained by our colleague Holmes Lybrand. So, in the video, you see that the officers are making contact with Renee Good there. She’s parked somewhat perpendicular in a street. And there’s another woman that’s there, which is outside the vehicle. And you can tell, you know, as the exchange there with Renee Good that, you know, she’s being somewhat pleasant. The other woman is, you know, kind of mouthy. And, you know, this is obviously a bit a bit tense, you tells the agent at one point, you know, ‘why don’t you go get some lunch, big boy?’ You also see critically. And I’ll get to this in a second. Bystanders behind the vehicle. We’ve seen other angles. This one shows us again, the vantage point of that officer. Another agent orders Renee Good out of the vehicle. This agent then walks around. That is the moment that she then takes off. And, on that audio, what we hear, it appears that you can actually hear friction on the phone. You know, it appears from other angles that the agent was indeed struck by that vehicle. But you hear on the audio, it appears friction on the phone, that could be from the vehicle strike. That could be from you know, the phone on his clothing. But then it appears three shots were fired after that. And then you hear afterwards someone, it appears, maybe an immigration agent who was there, actually, you know, use profanity, you know, calling — calling her an f-ing B, which we heard on — on the audio there. Now, let’s talk about the tactics for a second so I can tell you this, as a former federal agent, that law enforcement officers can use deadly force only when necessary, when they believe that there is an imminent threat to their life. In this instance, you have a moving vehicle that’s coming at that agent. “Now, the driver, Renee Good, did turn the wheel to the right. So, it appears that she wasn’t, you know, coming head on at that agent, you know, trying to mow him over. But nevertheless, an agent in that split second decision would have to make that calculation. Am I in danger? Is my life threatened here? You know, agents are also taught What are other options? Could you move out of the way? And that’s why this has been such a contentious issue here — the judgment, the decision of that agent to actually open fire. We’ve heard, you know, obviously, people supporting that decision, others, being quite critical. One other thing I want to note is that when agents undergo training and not just the feds, but law enforcement across the country, it is a cardinal rule that you are responsible for every round that you fire. And one key component of that is to the extent that you have the time and you can, you must be aware of what is beyond your shot, what is in the background? Here, it appears from that video that this other woman who had been engaging in the agent with the agent, was quite clearly in the line of fire. But there were also other people that were standing behind that car on the sidewalk. And this is a residential area. And so, I’m sure that will face some scrutiny as well. The officer opening fire at that moment, you know, directly, it appears towards those other people beyond the shot. And then his partners. And you brought this up, Brianna, just the other day, his partners are there in close range as well. And so, this will be heavily scrutinized from a tactical perspective as well. About the officer opening fire, but again, just critical, critical new video here that we’re seeing an important angle what the officer would have been seeing in the moment.”
