Excited to announce that we've raised $2.65M from @Accel and Google's @AIFuturesFund to re-imagine how enterprise software is maintained.
Just this year, @getdodgeai has helped teams running SAP, Oracle Fusion, JD Edwards, and more save more than 26,000 hours previously billed by outsourced firms.
This round was co-led by @Accel & Google's @AIFuturesFund, with participation from NewBuild Venture Capital, @AntlerGlobal, Schema Ventures, and angels from the SAP ecosystem.
For the better part of the last 3 decades, enterprises have adopted mission-critical software called an ERP to track finances, logistics, discounts, inventory, and more.
All of these systems become super customized, and there's an entire industry that implements them: the system integration industry.
After you go live, the problem doesn't stop there.
As the company evolves, you want these systems to change with it. At the same time, you also have to firefight all the daily operational incidents that happen within these systems.
What ends up happening today is that enterprises end up spending more than $600 billion a year just maintaining ERPs!
The traditional solution for enterprises has been to partner with these large outsourcing companies and throw 20 to 50 "consultants" at the problem.
With always-on agents becoming a reality today, we think there is a better solution that combines both the functional expertise of the humans who have been holding the industry together with long-horizon agents that capture context across systems and custom processes.
Dodge AI is already working with dozens of enterprises, most of whom are publicly listed companies across the world, to show them a better way.
Excited to partner with @prayanks, @JRSilber, @nitinsharma1, @aarthir, @rohini_c, and more.
Back to work now!

We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay.
Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this.
Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide.
Here are the four guiding principles:
1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence
It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it.
2. Writing is thinking
Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter.
3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it
If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to.
4. Longer is not better
AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt.
You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

this meeting could have been an MCP invoked search of our company’s internal knowledge base that aggregates data from virtually every service we use behind a unified retrieval layer and provides a streamlined interface for extracting critical business insights

⏰ EMBARK 3 - Apps closing soon.
I'm looking for a few outlier founders from India, who want to build for the US/global customer from Day 1.
🚀 I'll lead your pre-seed with $450k (by April 15), and you can join the other Embark 3 participants from 7 countries in San Francisco in May.
Here's a sample of founders that were part of Embark 1 or 2:
👊@RebhavBharadwaj, previously our intern @AntlerIndia :), now running @getdodgeai, with a Fortune 500 US customer, now also backed by Accel
👊@lazyapoorv, previously VP, Hardware at Ultrahuman. Building @ProjectMirageHQ (in stealth) - one of the coolest hardware ideas in preparing for an agentic world. Significant seed raised.
👊Jacob Banks, building @sophiieAI, one of the fastest growing young startups from Australia
👊 @anubhabgoel, previously raised >$10M from Chiratae & Omidyar. Currently building @naptick_
for the US market.
👊Steven & Justin, building IndustrialMind for AI-enabled manufacturing, ex. Tesla Gigafactory
👊Vaibhav & Urvin who're building Infer, a leading vertical AI partner for the US insurance sector, with Fortune 100 customers. $5M raised. YC alum.
👊 Lawrence, building Infron, $5M ARR. Previously Alibaba.
👊@yoeven building @interfaze_ai, with thousands of Bay Area developers as users
👊@DrSidBhargava, previously built a venture with $10M+ in revenue. Now building @get_innergize, $3M raised.
... and other amazing founders who are about to hit new milestones (for a later post).
🧗♂️ You could be a young AI-native graduate or student, or a repeat founder, or a could be an senior operator at a unicorn, etc. Different backgrounds, but the same US GTM challenges.
We'll embed you into a great network and actually co-work with you, as you shift your mindset and camp with your US customer, towards getting traction FAST. Our goal: Can we help you compress typically 18 months of US market learnings, into 3-6 months
🇺🇸 Created by a team that has actual US experience, and knows what it takes to win there.
The 13 years I’ve spent in the US - including my time at an iconic venture platform like NEA - has made me acutely aware of what differentiates immigrant founders who win, and what the bar for world-class looks like.
You also spend time with some of the best operators, founders and investors in the Bay Area. We've done 95 of these sessions already (check out the website for the list of well-known folks who have engaged).
Not panels or lectures or pitches. Just informal chats that keep it real.
Short app, due March 28

Sora 2 inside invideo isn't short clips or access.
It's full films start to finish, an autonomous creative partner that researches your idea, creates a script, generates storyboards, runs evals, directs and edits the film, taking over 500 creative calls for you.
invideo: for those creating what matters.

If we look around, everything we see began with a single person who had an idea and acted on it. This film is an expression of it.
If you can have an idea, you can make it real @invideoOfficial

Line from a security founder that's been rattling in my brain all week. A traditional CISO may be OK w/ a 10-min window for an unknown hacker to be insider the perimeter. "There's only so much a hacker can do in 10 mins. But for an agent, 10 minutes is an eternity."

We just dropped v3.0 @invideoOfficial
It’s our most ambitious release yet. Lets you create experimental movies, animations and more via a simple prompt! Here are some examples - invideo.io/ai-videos/

Been discussing this with a friend, if you don’t have a working prototype - it did not happen, demos don’t count in this world anymore. There will be some great people building, but also enough people with A+ degrees now have a new hack to scam!
