Want to work on live deals, learn directly from Partners, and pitch your own investment ideas? At Founders Circle Capital, we back breakout leaders from Series B to IPO, partnering with companies like Databricks, Baseten, Applied Intuition, ClickHouse, and Legora.
Our Summer Analysts spend 10 weeks (June–August 2027) working in small, 2–3 person deal teams, sitting in on Investment Committee discussions, and getting hands-on experience in growth-stage investing.
We're looking for undergrads graduating in December 2027 or Spring 2028. No prior VC or investing experience required. Applications close Friday, November 13 at 11:59pm PT and are being reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early!
Interested? We'd love to hear from you! airtable.com/appwM7oLacDuTcE…

Today, 18 months after launch, our annualized revenue crossed $1 billion.
The platform now powers organizations across the Fortune 500. Enterprise adoption has grown 10x since June.
More than 30 million people worldwide now use Higgsfield.
Thank you to the creators and teams building with us.

Getting from $1M to $100M in ARR took us 18 months. The second hundred took less than six. Last week @WeAreLegora passed $200M.
130,000 lawyers now use Legora on a monthly basis, across 2,100 firms and legal teams in more than 80 countries.
Two things from this year I would not have predicted:
The first is how fast the US moved. 18 months ago we had no office in North America. Today over half of the AmLaw 50 work with us, out of our offices in New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and Toronto. The US is our largest market by revenue.
The second is where the demand is coming from. More than 40% of our new customers are now in-house legal teams, including Air Canada, Salesforce and Palo Alto Networks.
Two thank-yous, before we get back to work. To our customers, who backed a small company from Stockholm with a lot to prove, and who still tell us plainly when we get something wrong. And to the team, engineers and lawyers sitting next to each other, who turn that into something better, faster than any group I have worked with.

We just closed an employee tender offer which values @ElevenLabs at $22BN, up 2x from our Series D in February. The tender was led by Wellington and T. Rowe Price.

New: Ramp's top SaaS vendors for August 2026
1/ This month, we saw continued growth in model serving / routers as more firms shift spend to cost-saving + open source AI.
2/ A few underrated areas of growth: a lot of competition for AI customer service / sales / voice agents, and seemingly no clear winner in this category given how many different competitors show up on this list month-over-month.
3/ Plus, 9% of firms are using AI to generate images and video for marketing and advertising.
That's about half the adoption rate of Figma, and growing quickly.

Think big. That’s always been a driving motivator for us, and now we have a partner to match our ambition. Today, we’re proud to announce Applied Intuition’s strategic collaboration with HUMAIN to deploy physical AI across Saudi Arabia, starting with autonomous trucking. This is a major step toward our goal of making a billion machines intelligent.
Together, we will deploy thousands of autonomous trucks throughout key Saudi logistics corridors by 2030. This will make it the largest autonomous trucking network in the world, and our Self-Driving System and Vehicle OS technology will be the centerpiece of this collaboration with HUMAIN.
This is physical AI at national scale.

The Department of War awarded @hiddenlevelinc a $100 million Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract to scale its passive sensing technology across the U.S. military.
The size of the OTA reflects a broader shift in defense procurement toward faster, more flexible pathways for bringing commercially developed technology into military use at scale.

Physical AI is entering a new chapter, and @AppliedInt is helping shape the infrastructure behind it.
The company introduced Dana, a new agentic platform for developing and deploying intelligent, safety-critical machines. As systems become more autonomous and complex, the tooling used to build, test, and manage them is evolving too.
