Microsoft’s boardroom at a defining moment for AI. The stewardship of Harvard. The work of rebuilding Ukraine’s economy. Few people have held a vantage point like Penny Pritzker’s, and I have the privilege of calling her my friend and every day partner at @InspiredCap.
We finally sat down together on my podcast:

I prefer to say "east coast hair, west coast flair" but alas thanks to @Cookie for the coverage of our newest fund
Congrats to the @standinsurance team on their $70M Series C at a $1B valuation! Since backing Stand in 2024, we’ve watched them rebuild home insurance from first principles, using physics and AI to simulate how each home will perform in a wildfire, hurricane, and beyond, then helping make it more resilient.
With a billion-dollar weather disaster now striking the U.S. every 10 days, insurance can’t keep pricing risk by looking backward. Stand’s approach is working, now insuring more than $10B in property, up from $1B a year ago.
We’re so excited to keep backing @danpres, @jasonxmueller, @samshank, and @billclerico as they build the future of home insurance.
Today @standinsurance announced $70M at a $1B valuation, led by @Saga_Ventures. A year ago, we insured $1B of property. Today it's $10B. Disasters follow the laws of physics. Insurance should too. Here's what our team is building:

We'll dig into what's actually coming, what keeps them up at night, and what the most AMBITIOUS version of the future could look like.

@InspiredCap
AI agents can do a lot, but they still hit a wall when the work moves into the real world.
Someone has to make the call, handle the payment, confirm the booking, or run the errand. That is the problem our portfolio company @duckbillai has been solving behind the scenes, powering 30M+ real-world interactions for several of the AI agents you may already use. Today they're opening it up to everyone as @getseaworthy, a single API integration that lets any agent complete real-world tasks reliably and at scale, with humans as the backstop.
We're proud to back the team and excited to see what builders do with it. If you're building agents, or know someone who is, we'd love to make an introduction!
Our founder and managing partner, @alexavontobel, sat down with @WallStManeet at the @Forbes Future of Work Summit to talk investing in the future of work and building a human economy in the age of AI.
It’s something we’ve thought about for a long time at @InspiredCap, and it’s a big reason we invested in @trywindmill, an AI company that bets on humans. They’re rethinking performance reviews so companies can see and grow talent they already have!
Thank you @Forbes and @WallStManeet for having us, and was so fun meeting @RealColinRocker backstage!
If you're an engineer who wants to build AI, from physical automation to insurance to customer experience, check out these roles:
BrightAI — Senior/Staff Firmware Engineer | SF
@KalepaInsurance — Forward Deployed Engineer | NY
@Scowtt2025 — Senior Staff / Staff Software Engineer | SF/Seattle
@regal_ai — Engineering Manager | NY

Introducing agentic engagement surveys from Windmill 🎉
Slack-native. Easy to complete. Easy to analyze.
Plus MCP support, so you can answer or analyze from your own agent.

Live demo + Q&A with our CEO next Friday: to.gowindmill.com/GUonmYB
Everyone's asking what AI is going to replace. We've been asking what it can't for years.
It can't automate real human connection. The experiences we share. The memories that come from them.
That's why we bet on the experiential consumer, businesses built around real spaces and real people. We're already backing companies like @arketafitness and Buywander because of it.

Founders ask me when they should invest in brand.
My honest answer: as an early-stage investor at @InspiredCap, the most important thing to me is the founder.
But as AI makes it easier to start anything, brand becomes one of the few things that actually sets you apart.
So, built credibility first. Brand next. Get the order right.
