We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, after never spending a dollar on marketing. 4 million people decided ComfyUI was the platform they wanted to build on, and they shaped it into something we never could have shipped alone. This funding will accelerate our mission to build an...

Today we're announcing $280M in Series B funding at a $2B valuation, led by our long-time investor and partner, Menlo Ventures. When we announced our Series A last May, most conversations I had about voice began with someone explaining why they doubted it. I don't have those conversations anymore. People tell me instead how much time they save talking instead of typing and what they want us to build next. In a little over a year, voice has gone from something people were questioning to something they rely on, and it happened faster than we expected. That shift is why we've raised a new round of funding. This funding represents a deeper investment in our products, lab, models, and our team. Alongside the funding, we're announcing a preview of our first proprietary speech model, Canto. Canto is a 2B parameter speech model trained for the places people actually talk: loud rooms, windy streets, a toddler in the background, a second language mixed into the first. Models like this will change how we all interact with devices, and Canto is the first in a rapid line of them. Each one will be larger and more capable than the last, and each should improve Flow's dictation in a way you can feel the day it ships. Larger speech models also open the door to the vision we dreamed up 5 years ago: using your voice as the primary way you interact with devices. That still has to be invented. A voice interface people rely on all day, in every app, doesn't exist anywhere yet. It's time for that to change. To Sahaj Garg, our team, and every person who gave Wispr Flow a chance - this one's for you.

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!

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people. Experiences like this are amazing, but the relationships we build that make it possible are the “why.” Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world, of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures. It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades. It depends on people dedicated to being part of something bigger than themselves, whose names may never be known but who wake up every day to make the world a better place and to be part of something they will be proud to tell their grandkids about. History will look kindly upon them. Humans have always had a propensity to explore … across lands and oceans, up mountains, and into the sky. We as a species will never stop wondering what else is out there, and what it would be like to go. But then, in the words of TS Elliot, “…at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.” Crew-10 is on its way home.

Yesterday’s increase in Interest rates is not going to do anything to fix the underlying structural imbalances in our economy. It is not going to help build one oil refinery or find a new discovery oil. The reason we have persistent inflation in Australia is because our government is running high immigration, high spending programs alongside chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and manufacturing after decades of privatisation. It is completely absurd that the Australian people are now going to be punished with higher interest rates alongside higher fuel costs. The higher fuel costs is in-itself going to dampen demand by increasing the cost of living so why pour fuel on the fire by increasing the cost of living even more. We are in this mess because of government spending not because Australians are spending too much just to survive. Manipulating interest rates is only dealing with the symptom not the cause. Notwithstanding we can’t solve inflation in the next 30 days, Australia needs to start building more infrastructure and factories and training our children the trades needed to do it. This will increase the supply of essential goods to bring inflation down. People First is the only party with the policies that will do this. We will create an infrastructure bank to fund the infrastructure free from foreign debt and we will bring back the military apprenticeship scheme to train our children how to build and maintain the infrastructure and manufacturing plants.

Elon Musk's primary residence was a car factory for three years. He slept on the floor during shift change so the people walking in would see him. Musk: "I actually know the people on the line because I worked on the line, and I walked the line, and I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So I'm no stranger to them." There are maybe five people at that altitude who could say that sentence without lying. Most executives know their org chart. They know the name of everyone whose approval affects their pay. They do not know the person who installed the battery pack at 3 AM. Musk: "There is no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table, everyone parks in the same parking lot." Any company can put that on a wall. The building is where you find out if they meant it. Musk: "At GM there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla." A separate elevator. Someone sat in a meeting and decided executives should not have to ride with the people building the product. That elevator is a machine for making human beings invisible. Most people will work their entire lives and never once be seen by the person whose name is on the building. They will give that building forty years. Their back. Their knees. The bedtimes they missed. And they will die as a line item in a spreadsheet nobody reads twice. Nobody calls that a tragedy because nothing dramatic ever happens. It just takes an entire life to finish. Not that people are underpaid. That they are unwitnessed. Every company writes its real values into the floor plan and hopes nobody reads them. The parking spots. The elevators. The floors people are allowed to stand on. People read that long before they read the mission statement. Musk: "We give everyone stock options. Many people who just work on the line who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires." Someone took that job because rent was due on the first. No exposure to equity. No path to anything past the next paycheck. Now they own a piece of what they built with their hands. Not a bonus. Not a plaque. Ownership. Their kids will inherit something other than exhaustion. Musk: "I'm incredibly appreciative of those who built cars, and they know it." And they know it. Gratitude that stays in the CEO's head is worthless. Gratitude announced in a press release is worse. The only gratitude that counts is the kind that reaches the floor. You cannot memo it into existence. You cannot hire a consultant to install it. A person will sell you their hours. They will only give you their life if you were standing there when it was hard. None of that is management. It is just what we are. For almost all of human history it was impossible to work unseen. The group was thirty people. Everyone knew who carried weight and who did not. Then we built organizations large enough that a person could pour everything they had into one and vanish. We have had ten thousand years to adjust to that and we never have. We were never built to follow titles. We were built to follow the person who stayed. This is why some companies get everything a person has, and the rest send out engagement surveys wondering where it went. Tesla's people are building something alongside someone who was there when it was ugly, who knows what it cost them, and who never pretended he was above the floor. And almost nobody at the top is willing to pay what it costs.

You have walked past one of these and never known what it was. 🇬🇧 1,600 buildings across Britain. 36,000 people inside them tonight. 🛏️ Most of them built by people who died before any of us were born. ⚱️ The buildings are called almshouses. 🏛️ In the Lincolnshire town of Stamford, Browne's Hospital was built in 1485 by a wool merchant called William Browne. 🐑 He built it to house twelve elderly people who could not house themselves. Five hundred and forty years later, twelve elderly people are still living there. ⏳ It has never stopped. Browne was not alone. Some almshouses were built in the fourteen hundreds. Some in the fifteen hundreds. Some in the sixteen hundreds. A wool merchant. A bishop. A widow. A weaver. And many, many more. 🕯️ Each one looking at the people around them who had nothing, and deciding that something had to be built. Each one leaving their money to keep it open after they were gone. ✍️ Each building still standing. Each building still housing. 🏠 Six centuries of British people looking after each other. 🤝 Six centuries of homes still open to those who need them. 🚪 This is what Britain has always been. 🇬🇧 This is what we mean when we say we're proud of where we come from. 🙏 We are a growing community of British people, proud of an island that built a better life for everyone on it. And then for half the world. 🌍 The homes. The laws. The hospitals. The freedoms. Not waiting. Not asking. Building. 🧱 This is who we are. This is who we have always been. Find out more at Be part of us. 🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by Kleiner Perkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, Noah McGuinness, and I left our jobs at SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where TerraFirma comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here:
