Trillions are pouring into the race to build the first general superintelligence, but leveraging your own specialized know-it-all is now possible as of today. I built the knowledge systems at @stripe and @uber. Then I helped Anthropic, Metronome, and Graphite build a killer developer experience. Everyone wants Stripe-level quality, but that bar is too low. Falconer gives you and your customers complete, specialized intelligence: an internal knowledge base and external documentation in one beautiful package. Falconer is the ultimate trust engine to manage your context: self-driving, observable, and agent-friendly. I co-founded @falconer_ai with @mbenedetto212 and assembled a team of know-it-all builders. We're backed by fellow know-it-alls @thegp, @BoxGroup, @svangel, @karimatiyeh, @benln, @zachlloydtweets, @CeciStalls, @MerrillLutsky, @scottmac, @malthe, and @adamjstevenson, with angels from Anthropic, Stripe, Meta, Cursor, Replit, and more. Frontier intelligence companies like @FireworksAI_HQ and @⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛; fintech companies like @payabli and @vori; and healthtech companies like @thatch_ai use @falconer_ai because they all share the same vision as us: the knowledge you earn should belong to you. Now you can know everything, so you can build anything.

Today, our team is excited to announce @InspiredCap Fund IV, $450M in new capital to back early-stage founders. There has never been a moment in history when more is possible. It takes just one person with exceptional ambition to take on the world’s problems and change billions of lives for the better.

Congrats @IamBrandonHill — also one of the coolest announcements videos I’ve seen

What a journey. Since the @CadreRE sale, I’ve been reflecting—not just on the highs & hard lessons, but on the people who made it all possible. From my family in Louisiana to my Cadre family world-wide, I have learned that No one builds anything worthwhile alone. I recently discussed my journey on the @mastersofscale podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Thank you to my family, the Cadre team, and every mentor, investor & partner who lifted me up—from the late-night cleaning crews to friends and partners like @jaredkushner , @JoshuaKushner , @mcuban , @darrenwalker, @vkhosla, @aplusk and so many more! I wouldn’t be here without your support and I can’t wait to share more about what I’m building next as I continue to focus on breaking barriers & opening doors while creating access where it's needed most.

Finix, a "payments infrastructure" startup that became a payment processor like Stripe in 2023, raised a $75M Series C, bringing its total funding to $208M (@zeffmax / TechCrunch) techcrunch.com/2024/10/24/fi… 📫 Subscribe: techmeme.com/newsletter?from… techmeme.com/241024/p22#a241…

Today @finix is excited to announce we’ve raised $75M in Series C funding led by @AcrewCapital, co-led by @lightspeedvp and @leappartners. When we started Finix, we were big believers in the developer movement. We still are! Since then, we’ve recognized that there’s been a major shift in the market. Even businesses that have developers don’t want to spend their time or resources on payments — they want highly brandable and configurable payment components. From startups to publicly traded companies, merchants to vertical SaaS companies, customers of all sizes are taking advantage of Finix’s no-code solutions. Today, every feature in Finix's broad product suite is now available in no-code, low-code and API-driven solutions. If Adyen is for the enterprise, Square is for card present SMBs, Stripe is for the developer-centric startup, Finix is for the 22M businesses without enough developers.
