We just raised $2M. From building Neo 1 out of scrap parts… to becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing AI wearable startups, this journey has been unreal. Proud to announce our $2M seed round led by Merak Ventures, with participation from incredible angels who believed in us long before the world did. India will win the AI wearable race, and we’re building that future. Neo 1 was just the beginning. Next: the OS layer for all AI assistants - glasses, pendants, rings, everything. To everyone who supported us through the chaos, the doubt, and the grind — this one is for you.

Thrilled to announce GV doubling-down with a new $100m lead investment in *'s Series D! We’ve been fortunate to have led or co-led (w/Lightspeed) each round since the Series A. I recently spoke with founder Just A Fool about his journey from engineer (in GV’s portfolio) to second-time founder and CEO, and why we believe Redpanda is poised to be a consequential company powering the data layer of the AI market alongside Databricks and Snowflake. We also discussed clock-speed, intensity, leadership, and Anthropic's MCP as an emerging AI adapter for RedPanda's broad suite of data connectors. Watch the whole convo and read more about the future of Redpanda!

Amazing, the SpaceX's Starship Flight Test has launched! What an accomplishment. This is the largest thing that has ever been launched in the history of the planet. I've been a space fanatic since I was 5. Say what you want about Musk, but this is history in the making, and will one day be a starting point for our interplanetary travel. Congrats to the entire SpaceX team and congrats to American ingenuity!

Our biggest round yet: K2 Space Corporation has raised a $500M Series D at a $6.8B post-money valuation. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins and ICONIQ, with participation from CapitalG, Lightspeed, Altimeter Capital, Spark Capital, Sands Capital, ARK Invest, T. Rowe Price, and other existing investors. "Scaling” is probably the word I’ve used most often the past few months in conversations with our investors, customers, and employees when talking about what’s next for K2 Space in 2027 and beyond: --We’re going to continue to scale up mass production, to deliver against the $1B + in contracts we’ve won to-date. --We’re going to scale up the satellite itself, from the 20kW Mega to the 100kW class Giga. Its no longer just 100kW, but we’ll save that update for another day. The capital from the Series D will turbocharge this scaling. Thanks to everyone who has been on this journey with us for the last four years – let's keep building bigger.

Three years ago, I had a vision, it was born out of sheer passion and love—a way of saying “I see you”. Today, I reflect on my journey; our journey. What started as a passion, led to something bigger. Bigger smiles on the streets and on everyone who has been a part of this journey. This new chapter is dedicated to the ones who see the true happiness that art can bring and the ones who see the beauty in it, the ones on the streets who have been my muse for far too long, the ones people never take notice of, to you and me. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Here’s to many greater things.🥂

Gavin Baker on the one variable that now dominates all others in AI compute: "the more memory you put with flop for a given unit of compute, the more tokens you get out -- it's the single most important thing you could do to increase token output per unit of compute." This is him laying out why the whole AI buildout now turns on memory, why breaking a supply agreement can end your entire franchise, and what Nvidia quietly writes into every equity check it signs. "You might blow up your entire business and your franchise by breaking an LTA." "If you break your LTA and then in the next two or three years for any reason leverage shifts back to the memory guys -- you're out of business." "Essentially every time they haven't taken an equity stake in something, it's been a mistake, they've taken equity stakes in everything essentially except the memory companies." Bookmark & watch ↓

$Six health insurance brokers are retiring for every one entering the field. Just as the biggest wave of Americans in history ages into Medicare. Will Johnson, CEO and Co-founder of Gyde, shares how the company is using AI to modernize insurance agencies. Over its first seven months, the company rapidly acquired seven other companies. He joined us on Lightwork to discuss: 🚪 Every agency owner has traditionally had two options: run it alone until you retire, or sell and watch it get absorbed. Will is building a third. 📞 Why brokers often burn all of Q4 dialing thousands of clients by hand, and why only a fraction of those calls ever needed a person. 🔁 The playbook - what he looks for in an agency, and what he changes in the first 90 days after buying one. 🤖 Gia, their AI agent, takes the first call, so the broker walks in already knowing what the client needs. 📉 Why the AI jobs debate is aimed at the wrong problem. In most of the real economy, the constraint is too few workers, not too many. Thank you so much for coming on the show! Lightspeed Josh Machiz Brenton Fargnoli$

We’re Scaled Cognition, developing the first ever models trained specifically for agentic applications: 1. Our first system, APT-1, is now #1 on agentic benchmarks. 2. It was developed by a US team for a total cost of less than $11M. 3. Khosla Ventures led our seed round ($21M closed in 2023), and Vinod Khosla joined our board. 4. We use a fully synthetic, RL-based agentic data pipeline, no human-labeled data. 5. APT-1 is now available for early access.

"to me, it's not about the human in the loop, but the human at the center." i sat down with Stefania Druga, staff research scientist Sakana AI, at our Browserbase booth at AI Engineer. after Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Google DeepMind, stefania recently joined sakana's recursive self-improvement (rsi) lab in tokyo to build self-improving AI for the next frontier. we got into: - catastrophic forgetting in day-long agent research runs, and how memory-first harnesses help - sovereign AI and open-weights: building on models you control instead of locking into one provider - why computer use still frustrates people even as models get smarter - the domains ripe for self-improving research agents: math, genomics, rare conditions - my fav moment at the end: what tasks are better left human, and what are we going to do as humans after everything is automated? with open frontier models arriving fast, Stefania Druga's case for sovereign AI only gets stronger. loved this conversation. thanks for joining us at the Browserbase booth!

Elon Musk just made one if the biggest moves in taking over the programming industry “SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public — the biggest IPO in history. $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation and the first thing to do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet. Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns 3 layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack. And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude Code or Codex. Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company, and now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed. $4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.” Let me break this down in simple terms Elon Musk now controls more of the full AI picture: - Massive computers, power (data centers like Colossus) - Smart AI models (Grok from xAI) - The actual tool millions of developers use every day (Cursor) For every day users this means Faster and smarter apps and websites in the future. More developers using powerful AI tools means new apps, games, websites, and features get built quicker and cheaper. This means better video games, smoother streaming, smarter phone apps and better programs For Developers they can describe what they want in plain English (“make a feature that does X”) and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting
