Stoked to lead $45M Series A for @HyphenateAI and partner with @ramkris, @ajkrish95, and the team! Finance doesn't need another dashboard. It needs someone to get the work done. Finance has an unusually high bar for accuracy, controls, and auditability. Most AI tools help finance teams work faster. Hyphenate takes on the work itself: cash reconciliation, invoicing, collections, subledgers, and the close, layered on top of the ERP and banks a company already runs. No rip and replace! It is showing up with great autonomy in production. HiBid cut its close from three weeks to one day. Groupon and Synthesia are rolling it out across finance. And 40% of customers expand within their first year. Excited to help build the AI-era finance function with you, Ram and Ajay! Thank you for partnering with @nexusvp! Also, excited to join hands with friends at @FoundationCap (@ashugarg, @JayaGup10), @BCapitalGroup, @sathyanellore, @arashf! #AI #AIinFinance

We’re proud to lead @HyphenateAI's $45M Series A as they build the autonomous finance platform for the CFO’s office. Finance teams spend their week on work that needs doing but not their judgment. Hyphenate takes it off their plate. Founded by @ramkris and @ajkrish95, Hyphenate runs order-to-cash, treasury, accounting and reporting on top of a company’s existing systems. Customers see 90% less repetitive work, 75% fewer audit exceptions, and month-end close cut from 3 weeks to 1 day. Congratulations to the Hyphenate team! @oneabhishek

When we partnered with @iambic_ai in 2020, it was still unclear how far AI could go in transforming hard scientific fields. Iambic used its proprietary AI platform to help design and advance its first drug candidate into the clinic in approximately two years. Last week, Iambic went public on Nasdaq. As one of its earliest investors, we've captured the journey here: 🔗 shorturl.at/Tylf6 @tfmiller3 | Fred Manby | @b_jishnu

Congratulations to @iambic_ai on its $150M IPO and @Nasdaq debut! Iambic’s molecular superintelligence platform combines AI with automated chemistry and biology experimentation to discover new medicines. Iambic strives to innovate with the urgency of a tech company, while executing clinical development with the rigour and discipline of a leading biotech. We are proud to have backed Thomas Miller, Fred Manby and team Iambic from day 1 of the company journey! It’s still Day 1 at @iambic_ai. Onward and upward! @b_jishnu

We’re excited to lead @justcircleit's ₹25 crore seed round! Pre-owned only works when people can trust what they’re buying. Founded by Chirag Kataruka and Ankit Misra, Circle verifies every item and handles everything from listing to pickup and payout, so buying and selling pre-owned is simple and safe. Congratulations to the @Circle team! @suvirsujan | @itsvaishak

Gumloop (YC W24) is building a platform that lets employees across a company build and share AI agents, while giving IT control over the data, permissions, and infrastructure behind them. Today it’s used by companies including Shopify, Gusto, and Instacart to automate work across sales, customer success, operations, and more. In this fireside, @gumloop co-founders @MaxBrodeurUrbas and @rbehal1729 joined @gustaf to share how they built Gumloop before models were ready for agents, then found product-market fit as the technology caught up. They talk about landing early enterprise customers, making companies AI-native, and why the people closest to the work should be the ones automating it. 00:00 — The AI Agent Builder for Every Team 03:38 — From Workflow Automation to Enterprise AI 07:20 — What It Takes to Win Enterprise Customers 11:02 — How the Founders Met and Got Into YC 15:00 — How Gumloop Uses Its Own Agents 18:02 — Landing Shopify and Rethinking Pricing 21:23 — Fundraising and the Limits of Staying Lean 24:35 — Letting Employees Automate Their Own Work 27:43 — Building Agents Companies Can Control 31:23 — Getting IT to Say Yes

ApolloNEXT keeps getting bigger! Apollo.io is "making world-class GTM accessible to everyone!" The ultimate AI GTM system used by millions of users (+ AI agents). Privileged to have witnessed how Apollo got here. More importantly, super pumped to see where it's going! Congrats, team @useapolloio! Let's go! 🚀 #ApolloNext26 #AI #GTM @nexusvp

Top developer tools companies were built democratically. I think top agent tools companies will be too. AI agents are only as good as the context they can access. Firecrawl is becoming their default tool for this. Alexandria gives them one interface to the live web, official data providers, and specialized indexes. Proud to double down in this round and continue backing @firecrawl. Congrats to @CalebPeffer, @ericciarla, @nickscamara_, and the team on the $75M Series B! @nexusvp
Introducing Alexandria. We raised a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital to build the world’s largest knowledge library for superintelligence. Supercharge your agents with instant access to the most powerful data sets & providers. firecrawl.dev/alexandria

We're glad to back Sol Foundry Inc. as it emerges from stealth with $4M! Most AI tools wait to be told what to do. Sol finds the commitments you've already made in email and gets the work moving before you have to ask: research, documents, slides, meeting coordination, while you stay in control of what actually gets sent. What got us excited about Sol is that @_anishkaran, Prateek Srivastava, @RanjithNair7 and the team are building AI that just knows when to act and proactively does the right things. There is no learning curve; it’s AI that just works. @b_jishnu Early access at hellosol.app

Congratulations to @firecrawl on their $75M Series B and the launch of Alexandria. Most valuable data: housing, jobs, research, code, pricing, sits out of reach for AI agents. Alexandria gives them one interface to access official providers, specialised indexes and the live web directly, already delivering 21% better answer quality in testing. Firecrawl is becoming the default choice for developers and agents to fetch knowledge and context. We are proud to double down in this round and continue backing @CalebPeffer , @ericciarla , @nickscamara_ and the Firecrawl team on their voyage! @oneabhishek

We're excited to lead @lightsagehq 's $4M round as they build the infrastructure for Agent-Led Growth! Coding agents now discover products, choose SDKs, and call APIs on their own. Software has a new customer, and it doesn't behave like the old one. Agent Experience is becoming what Developer Experience once was. Lightsage shows companies how agents see their product: where they succeed, break, and why, across docs, APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and MCP servers, starting with developer tools, built for e-commerce, payments, B2B software, and consumer businesses next. Congratulations to @jun_liang_sf , Sean Er and the Lightsage team. @oneabhishek | @Mayitbe524
