Othello has raised $8M to train specialized AI models that guide sales reps during live sales calls.
Othello predicts the next best thing a sales rep should say during a call and delivers it on screen in under 500 milliseconds.
Today Microsoft, Capital One, Lyft, and 30+ of the world's largest companies leverage Othello during live meetings.
Until now, it has not been possible to intelligently augment sales calls in real-time. To solve this, Othello has developed a series of specialized models that deliver highly accurate, contextually relevant recommendations while maintaining near real-time latency.
Congrats Sahill and Vineet and the whole team!
Big and very exciting news: @parafinHQ is joining @stripe.
We started Parafin in 2020 because the small businesses that power the economy were the hardest ones to finance. Six years later, with $3B+ funded to 60,000+ SMBs, we're taking the mission to Stripe's scale.
Huge congratulations to our team, investors and supporters. To our customers: nothing changes about our commitment to you. It only gets better from here.
More from me, @vineetgoel92, and the team
Very proud of our results and the whole team!
Q2 was another strong quarter for Chime: 27% YoY revenue growth exceeding guidance, 2nd consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, and 10.4M Active Members. Based on our momentum, we raised our full-year 2026 guidance.

China has invested a ton in energy over the last 25 years. The US has been mostly stagnant.
An abundant future needs abundant energy! It's time to build.
4/ Energy is considered a solved problem. The Chinese government’s investment in sustainable energy — from advanced hydropower to next-generation nuclear — means that, relative to many other markets, electricity supply is secure and inexpensive. Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given. This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations.

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.

1/ Over ~20 yrs at @MenloVentures learning from @roku @chime @uber etc., one mistake is repeated repeatedly: Startups fail by building towards a mission vs an MVP. We’ve built a framework to help founders avoid that fate. How to design a winning MVP, using Roku as a case study:
