Congratulations to @nirzuk , Wilson Xu, Udi Shamir, and the entire @CylakeAI team on their $245M funding round. We’re honored to be on this journey with you!
I met Nir 20 years ago when he was starting Palo Alto Networks, and it was obvious even then that he was something special. So it is incredibly exciting for all of us at Redpoint to have the opportunity to partner with him and the rest of this extraordinary team.
Cylake is audaciously building a complete cybersecurity platform from the ground up around a single data foundation, enabling full data sovereignty while eliminating the gaps created by today’s fragmented security tools. Enterprises face unprecedented threats, and bold action is required. The good news is Cylake is on it!
Excited to get to work with the Cylake team alongside great investors like @chandna, @jimgoetz , @ravi_lsvp , and Rakesh Loonkar.
Go Cylake!

Congrats @mitchellh! So excited to watch @superlogical's progress! No better product visionary (and human) than you
I've started a new company: @superlogical! We're going to begin by building a terminal multiplexer. The entire vision is much larger, but the multiplexer is the foundation. Sign up for the newsletter to get beta access and devlogs (product updates only I promise).

Couldn't be more excited to be working with @davidmcj and Marc Holmes on Dome Systems!
They're exceptional operators, but even better partners. They're smart, humble, relentlessly customer-focused, and a lot of fun to build with. When they decided to tackle one of the biggest challenges to enterprise AI adoption, we jumped at the chance to back them again.
We believe governance and security will be foundational to the agentic enterprise, and Dome is building an incredibly important piece of that future.
Fired up to be on this journey together again and can't wait to see what the team builds.
We’re hearing from CISOs and enterprise leaders that today feels like the “wild west.”
@davidmcj, @sraney, and Satish Dharmaj break down why. As enterprises rapidly deploy agents across cloud platforms, data systems, and SaaS tools, there's no consistent way to govern and secure what's being built.
In this video, they discuss how Dome Systems gives security and ops teams the visibility and policy controls they need to let AI actually work inside the enterprise, and why Dave and Marc are the right team to build it.

Thrilled to deepen our relationship with @Modal, @bernhardsson, and @akshat_b. It is an extraordinary team building remarkable products. No surprise they are growing like a rocket ship. Excited for what’s ahead!
We're honored to deepen our partnership with @modal and co-lead their $355M Series C!
When @bernhardsson and @akshat_b started Modal in 2021, they had conviction that building a truly great cloud for AI meant rebuilding the entire stack from the ground up. Five years later, that bet has paid off.
Erik built the recommendation system behind Discover Weekly at Spotify. Akshat was an early engineer at Scale AI before joining Erik as co-founder and CTO. Together, they've assembled what one engineer affectionately calls "a monastery for super nerds" and it shows in the product.
Modal has become the high-performance cloud that serious AI teams reach for when they need to ship. We couldn't be more excited to continue backing them.
Huge congratulations to Erik, Akshat, and the entire Modal team!

Horrendous take unless of course you mean we provide oath to citizenship for the remarkable immigrant founders and engineers that help make Silicon Valley what it is
Silicon Valley is a strategic national asset whose jobs should be legally reserved for U.S. citizens. It’s a matter of national security. This shouldn’t be controversial.

Congrats @beyang @sqs and team @Sourcegraph on all the incredible work behind @AmpCode and the early developer love!
Huge congrats to the @Tensorlake team on launch day! 🚀 Their platform is a major step forward in making document ingestion and LLM infrastructure faster, cheaper, and easier to manage. @diptanu is exceptional and excited to see how this changes the game.
Excited to announce @tensorlake Cloud! 🧵
Tensorlake converts real-world documents into clean, structured data for business workflow automation and for building Agents in mission-critical documents.
It's powered by a state-of-the-art document layout understanding model trained on real-world data such as ACORD forms, bank statements, and research reports.
Combined with a Table Extraction model for parsing complex and dense tables where VLMs fail, it's the best document processing engine for mission-critical domains.
Let's go, @psonsini and @LaudeVentures! Pete was an early investor/partner at companies like Databricks and Perplexity (have you heard of them?). Fired up to see what you do next, Pete and team!

A great listen. Every perceived plateau is an opportunity for innovation. Especially in AI. Great stuff from @polynoamial and @jacobeffron!
New Unsupervised Learning with @polynoamial, a key part of the @OpenAI o1 team recorded one day before the full release of o1:
- Is model progress hitting a wall
- History and future of scaling test-time compute
- What should startups build as models improve
- Unpacking the full release of o1
- Are we moving toward a single model

100%. Amazing work so far @sytses and I know there is more to come!
A truly massive congrats on what you've built in @gitlab, @sytses. You've not only built an incredible company, but I saw first hand how many companies you helped navigate the transition to remote work during the pandemic through everything you shared about how GitLab operates. You showed everyone that there's a different way to approach company building and work, and your mark on the industry is indelible.
Sending you ❤️, admiration and all of the positive energy I have for your journey to a full recovery.

Congratulations to @geoff_yang on receiving the Venture Vanguard Award from the NVCA last night. I am forever indebted to him for his mentorship and leadership at @Redpoint. I feel incredibly fortunate (and proud) to call him my partner. Thanks Geoff!

Agree with Solomon’s sentiments here. @monadic is a class act and I hope he and everyone at Weaveworks is proud of everything they have accomplished
In 2009 Alexis agreed to meet me in an airport terminal to answer my questions about building an open source business. He didn't know me or gain anything by meeting: he was just happy to help.
He told me it would be hard, and indeed it was. 15 years later he's still out there building, while others pontificate. Today I'm thankful to Alex and the Weaveworks team for everything they've contributed to this ecosystem.

A huge thank you to all the attendees of InfraRed. Too much fun to be with so many amazing infrastructure founders and operators. And a very special thank you to @HashiCorp’s @davidmcj for sharing his amazing insights into building and growing cloud infrastructure businesses!
Absolutely mind-blowing that American political environment doesn’t make it a no-brainer to do whatever it takes to recruit the best abs brightest from around the world.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
WE NEED TO RECRUIT THE BEST TECH TALENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD — NOT KICK THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
Canada, UAE, & countless other countries are recruiting!
IN FACT, Canada is pitting themselves against the USA here.

Here is an updated list of firms supporting a new SVB. As you can see the list of supporters is long and growing by the hour. tinyurl.com/VCCommunitySVBSt…
In addition to the firms listed here (of which @Redpoint is one) I have spoken to many many other venture firms that share the sentiment and are committed to supporting a new SVB.

Several VC leaders met today to discuss the aftermath of SVB’s downfall. This is a joint statement from all of us. @Accel @altcap @BCapitalGroup @generalcatalyst @eladgil @GreylockVC @khoslaventures @kleinerperkins @lightspeedvp @MayfieldFund @Redpoint @RibbitCapital @upfrontvc
Great thread by my partner @jordan_segall. If you are interested in developer-facing businesses and open source, I highly recommend subscribing to his new Segfault newsletter. I am always impressed by his analysis of and insights into these markets. You won’t be disappointed!
(1/7) Excited to introduce Segfault, a newsletter focused on devtools. First up: I collected open source traction data from 80 startups at the time of their Seed/As to create a data-driven guide to OS fundraising and what successful OS traction looks like: jordansegall.substack.com/p/…

Really cool. Lots of lessons here. Love that the whole exec team bought in and co-owned the problem.

Years ago @auth0 stopped growing in pipeline, talk to sales, and signups.
we had to change what the marketing team was doing for 6 months to get us back on track.
It was a hard decision to make but tough times (like now) require bold decisions.
