Announcing that Willow has raised $4.2 million to build voice-first interfaces. We started Willow after dropping out of Stanford freshman year to build a healthcare startup. It failed. We pivoted over 10 times, spent a year in the trenches, and learned how to build the hard way. But we discovered something huge. Voice scribes were giving doctors their lives back. They were able to focus on helping patients rather than wasting nights and weekends on paperwork. That's when it hit us. If voice could transform healthcare, why not every knowledge worker? Why are a billion professionals still hammering away at keyboards to communicate with humans (email, Slack, writing) and AI (ChatGPT, Cursor)? Today, thousands of professionals at companies like Canva, GitHub, and Webflow use Willow to work 5x faster. We're building Willow to unlock voice as the universal interface where you can control any device, any app, any workflow simply by speaking. – This $4.2M round was led by Boxgroup, with participation from Goodwater Capital, Burst Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures. We’re also backed by an Avengers-level group of investors, including: Max Mullen (Founder, Instacart) (COO, Shopify) dharmesh (CTO/Founder, HubSpot) Tomer London (CPO/Founder, Gusto) Geoff Donaker (COO, Yelp) Ankur Nagpal (Founder, Teachable) Steven (CEO/Founder, Moov) Daniel Cahn (CEO/Founder, Slingshot AI) John Andrew Entwistle (CEO/Founder, Wander) Mercedes Bent (Venture Partner, Lightspeed J.J. Fliegelman (CTO/Founder, Wayup) Special thanks to our earliest believers: Adam Guild (CEO/Founder, Owner), Cory Levy (Founder, ZFellows), and Nicolas Dessaigne (Partner, YC). And most importantly, thank you to the best co-founder and CTO Lawrence Liu. – We're hiring for founding engineer, designer, and ML roles who want to redefine how humans work. Join a world-class team building technology that transforms lives daily with top-tier compensation and equity. Comment "Join Willow" to be fast-tracked. The next decade will be defined by voice-first computing. The question isn't whether this transformation will happen. It's whether you'll be part of building it.

Funding Announcement: catalyx space has raised a $5.4M seed round to build the complete back-end infrastructure for space — enabling both upmass and downmass for the next era of orbital logistics. This brings our total funding to $7.1 million. Exactly one year ago, my friend saqib hussain and I left everything behind in India and arrived at LAX, hoping to build our new space company in the U.S. Meanwhile, our friends Clinton D Antony and Keerthan Chand Aluvala focused on developing spacecraft hardware back home in India. We joined the Techstars space accelerator and later HFØ , raising a $1.7M pre-seed round in December 2024 from HF0 and Founders Inc, before moving to San Francisco — the city I love most. The entire team relocated to SF in January for HF0. Since then, we’ve 5X’d our revenue, built a re-entry capsule, launched our first spacecraft, and completed our drop and landing tests. We’ve grown to a 20-person team and begun constructing a new spacecraft manufacturing facility in India. Today, we’re thrilled to announce our $5.4M seed round, led by Outlander VC , with participation from Arka Venture Labs, Lex Reddy, KDX, Together, Higher Life Ventures, Nivesha Ventures, Pranatech, Bria, HFØ and Techstars. Thanks to the Almighty for everything and everyone who has believed in us. This round will help us demonstrate our next-generation re-entry and landing technology, scale our GTM, and execute upcoming missions. Multiple missions are already lined up — each bringing us closer to making orbital logistics as seamless as air cargo. We’re not just launching satellites — we’re building the operating system for space logistics. Time to get back to building, testing, and launching. The future of space isn’t one-way. Upmass. Downmass. Infinite possibilities.

Excited to announce Payman has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 + 🧑🏽 We’re proud to be backed by Visa, Coinbase Ventures 🛡️, Boost VC, Deepwater Asset Management, Spartan Group, Untapped Capital, Theory Forge VC and other awesome investors! With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video. Our Vision We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more. We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building. Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so. How it’s going Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000+ people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week. If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website and sign up for early access. Additional Rockstar Investors In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by Protofund, Systemic Ventures, MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Viktor Axelsen, Devin Walsh, kennethng.eth, Erin Koen, and many more!

We’re excited to introduce Taste Labs. Our mission is to end AI slop. We’re building the data and infrastructure layer to give AI models and agents taste. And today we’re coming out of stealth, announcing our $18.5M seed funding, co-led by CRV and Amplify Partners AI has nailed objective domains and made it easy to generate anything. But it still feels off. Now, the challenge is judgement. What fits, what feels like you, what’s GREAT. This requires turning a fuzzy, subjective domain into something we can measure and codify. We’re starting with design. There are two sides to cracking this, the foundation model layer and the agent layer: - We’ve already been working with the top frontier labs to evaluate and improve their models, crafting the right post-training data and RL environments. - We’ve also been working with app-layer companies to build the context and verification tools for their agents to produce better, more on-brand, more creative outputs. We want a future where AI feels right. If you’re passionate about this mission, join us!

We’re launching a coin for a new vertical within the world of intellectual property, focused entirely on AI data licensing. AI companies are spending billions of dollars on data (video, text, sound, etc) to train their models. Kled is the middleman. We partner with top film studios and production houses, label their video content, and sell it to AI companies like OpenAI to help train models like ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney and more. So far, we've already sold millions of hours of data. Our next drop includes 3 million hours of footage, with deals ranging from $2–5 per minute. We've strategically raised $2 million from investors such as K5 Global, who back Uber, Xai and more, alongside creators like Alex Botez and Panda Boi who stand by our platform and its goals. We're excited to bring this project of ours on chain, where we find that it'll benefit most from the space's interactivity and leaders alike. $KLED is now live on Believe

Today, Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced we’ve raised $863 million in a new funding round — the second largest investment of committed capital into a deep tech or clean tech company ever. And the largest was our $1.8 billion Series B round in 2021. This Series B2 funding, from investors spanning the globe, speeds up our push to get fusion energy’s clean, secure, affordable power onto the grid as soon as possible. Here’s how we’ll use the funding. First, it lets us complete SPARC, the one-of-a-kind fusion machine we’re building right now at our headquarters in Devens, Massachusetts to demonstrate net fusion energy. Second, this investment lets us accelerate work on our next machine, the ARC fusion power plant we plan to build in Chesterfield County, Virginia — the first of many. With this funding round, we broadened our range of investors. Those supporting our fusion energy mission include not just earlier-stage investors like venture capitalists and ultrahigh-net-worth individuals, but also sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, private equity firms, global industrial companies, utilities, and banks. New investors in CFS include Brevan Howard, Counterpoint Global of Morgan Stanley; Stanley Druckenmiller; FFA Private Bank in Dubai; Galaxy Digital’s Galaxy Interactive; Gigascale; HOF Capital; @NevaSGR; NVIDIA's NVentures venture capital arm; Planet First Partners; Woori Venture Partners US, and a consortium of 12 Japanese companies led by Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi Corp. They join earlier investors that also returned, like Breakthrough Energy; Emerson Collective; eni; FutureVenturesVC; Gates Frontier; Google; Hostplus Superannuation Fund; Khosla Ventures; Lowercarbon Capital; SafarPartners; former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; Starlight Ventures, and Tiger Global. What unites that diverse group: they see an enormous new industry forming as we harness the power source of the sun here on Earth. And CFS is leading that fusion energy charge. #PowerMoves #FusionEnergy

I feel like I haven't slept all week. We're now at $200M in expressed commitments for Boardy’s Venture Fund! It’s mad in the office right now. The team is completely locked in on helping founders, and at the same time we’re building a fund that has genuinely taken the world by storm. We’re following up with every person and bringing them directly into the fund. The structure is coming together quickly, and we're likely making our first investments within the next month. It’s unbelievable, but it should be no surprise. Boardy is at the epicenter of thousands of conversations around fundraising, hiring, sales, product strategy. If he’s talking to more founders every minute than any VC ever could, it makes sense that he’s able to identify golden opportunities early. If you’re a founder who’s raising: If you’re an investor who’s interested in co-investing: If you’re an accredited LP who wants to learn more:

David Sacks giving Starlink V3 math the attention it deserves. Each Starship is the equivalent of 20 F9 launches of bandwidth. Elon estimated that they get up 1,000 V3 by Q2 (not one of his aggressive estimates) which would more the double the total global Starlink bandwidth in less than a year. Our modeling suggests they will be able to put up to 4,000s V3 sats by EoY 2027. Global bandwidth from orbit could very well be 5x what it is today within 18 months. This is a cash generating business that will handle a lot of their data center build out. All of Brad’s points on handwringing around compute financing become far easier to understand in that light.
