Huge congrats to the Chapter team. Hamza is world-class!
cat's out of the bag! long time in the works but im so happy its finally out. what a journey this past year has been. no better time to come out of stealth than to say we got acquired by @askchapter! at ridgeway, we helped companies get the most out of AI and make their AI workflows and agents faster, more performant, and more cost-efficient across their internal and external business. @askchapter was one of our first customers and partners, and together we helped more seniors get the right access and help with their medicare faster than ever! today, we finally announce that we are taking this to a whole other level together! none of this would have been possible without our friends, investors, and partners. i am immensely grateful for your trust, mentorship, and most importantly, the time you have invested in me and the team! @SusaVentures @chadbyers @shaheersan @emergencecap @YazanElBaba @kabirsial @richzou @ChrisZarou @ItzSuds @_samirism @henrythe9ths @omnibusofomerta @DennwsLee @kylejeong @vincentzhu @svathsasa @dojideon @tomzheng @jaegpark @advith_c @MahapatraChirag @yazins @aymancooks @calixo888 @anaiskkillian @rowans_planet @0xRaduan @risashimmura @babykeem (bunch of whom I can't find your twitter handles but don't want to forget: Scott, Alan, Peter, Chonghao, Akhil, Jason, and my brother Rehan; if I miss you, plz do kick me next time you see me) just the beginning!! excited for what's next :) P.S. typing this from ridgeway plaza with @CobiBGantz

Eric, Karim, and Zach recruited me to Ramp with a simple pitch to build "Paribus for businesses" I remember taking the call from my dorm room, wondering if I was ready to leave Stanford for NYC when all my friends were staying in SF Seven years later, I'm proud of what we've built and even more grateful that the people I've built it with have become family
Today, Ramp raised $1.85B at a $60B valuation. Seven years ago, Karim and I wrote our mission on a Post-it: “Save companies time and money.” Our mission hasn't changed. It’s just gotten bigger.

Today we're launching MagicOS. And we've come to the conclusion that designers are NOT getting replaced. most of the industry moved to the same answer this year: give the agent its own canvas, let it run, hand you the output. we made a different bet: the canvas should be yours and the agent is your collaborator. that’s MagicOS. most AI design tools are a linear conversation: prompt, generate, iterate, repeat. a hundred prompts in, you might have a great final design, but the reasoning, rejected directions, and inspiration that got you there are buried in a chat log nobody will ever scroll back through. MagicOS is a persistent, spatial canvas. Your PRD, inspiration images, design system, variations, rejected directions, final picks - all of it lives together, all in one place, instead of stacked on top of itself and lost. it’s voice-first. talk to it in real time and watch work land directly on the canvas as you speak. it’s also multiplayer. your whole team works on the same canvas together. and it still runs on your design system and components because none of this matters if the output doesn’t look like your actual product. three months ago, this was internal only at Magic Patterns, my co-founder's weekend project. it’s now live for everyone. Design everything, everywhere, all at once.

I am thrilled to announce that @beaconholdings has acquired @haizelabs, with me joining as VP of AI Research. We started Haize in 2024 to enable anyone to build reliable and safe AI. Through our red-teaming and safeguards work with the frontier labs; our observability, guardrail, and evaluation platform serving the world’s largest enterprises; and our pro bono SMB work, any customer could build AI they trusted with Haize. Joining Beacon lets us deliver the same trustworthy AI to those who need it most, and those most overlooked by Silicon Valley: the essential Main Street businesses the real world depends upon. Transitioning these essential businesses through the AI revolution is one of the most consequential responsible AI problems of our time. We couldn’t be more honored to tackle it with Beacon. Thank you to our customers, investors, and team for the journey of a lifetime. And thank you to Nilam, Goutham, Mark, and the Beacon team for the trust and opportunity. It’s time to get to work.

Owner has raised $240M, reached a $2.3B valuation, and crossed $100M ARR. Goldman Sachs Alternatives led the round, joined by Meritech, Redpoint, Headline, & Jack Altman. The world is racing to build AI to replace people’s jobs. Owner is building AI to do the opposite:

Today, we're introducing @Intelligence_ai. In 6 months, as a team of 10, we scaled from $5M to $60M ARR and 5.5M users across 190+ countries. We raised a $7.9M seed, led by @IndexVentures with participation from @conviction, @A_StarVC, and @combinator to build DesignArena, a universal interface for accessing and evaluating the world's AI capabilities. Most evaluations try to simulate the real-world. We believe the real-world is the ultimate verifier. People come to @DesignArena with a request. Models compete to fulfill the request, and users determine what works best for them. Their live user behavior evaluates the models, improves how work is routed, and helps people access the right intelligence. We've helped the world's leading frontier labs break the news on their SOTA capabilities. What's the limit? Join us and find out.

We're coming out of stealth. We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised. Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads. Our first racks ship this summer.

When Stripe acquired Bridge last year, a joint card program was one of the places that I was most excited about working together. Shipping a global card program is not easy, especially if you want to do it compliantly, and with their decade of expertise we knew we could built the strongest product for our customers. We spent months working with @cuysheffield and the @Visa team to understand the options and how we could launch a single program to enable developers to launch cards to their global user base. We put in the leg work up front to ensure that our programs are compliant with upstream partners and scalable locally so that you know that your infrastructure will grow with you. Bridge is now the highest quality and easiest card partner in the market with the ability to go from signed to cards in production is as little as 4 weeks with Bridge handling all of the upstream approvals on your behalf. We launched our first cards with @airtminc and @fusewallet this spring and have been iterating since then to ensure its a best in class experience. Some key highlights: - Native integration to open issuance, so you can spend your Bridge-issued stablecoin Day 1 - A single KYC for your users to get virtual accounts, wallets, stablecoins swaps, and now cards - Support for user-specific non-custodial wallets Come talk to us and learn why great companies like Zepz, Phantom, and Chipper have decided to build with us!
1/3 We’ve been heads down building and Bridge card issuing is leveling up. New card program launches. New markets. New functionality. More ways for users to turn stablecoins into everyday spend. From remittances to crypto wallets, Bridge customers are redefining how people use digital assets, launching innovative card programs that bring real-world utility to stablecoins.

Excited to share that @tryoffdeal has raised a $12M Series A to build the world’s first AI-native investment bank, less than 10 months after our Seed. This year we already launched over 30 M&A sell-sides, and delivered numerous multi-million $ exits to our clients. A quick 🧵
