Excited to partner with the SpaceX team to scale up Composer. A meaningful step on our path to build the best place to code with AI.

We’ve raised $8.5M in seed funding, valuing Antioch at $60M, to build the simulation platform for physical autonomy. The raise was led by @Category_VC and @A_StarVC, with participation from @MaCVentureCap, @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @IcehouseVenture, and angels. Antioch brings robotics and autonomy development entirely into simulation. Teams build, iterate, and test their full autonomous stacks in a single platform, accelerated by agents with native understanding of 3D environments. We're doing for physical autonomy what coding agents have done for software development. When the entire development loop lives in simulation, engineers and agents can reason about a robotic stack the same way they reason about a codebase: run it, observe the result, and iterate. The funding will go toward further expanding the engineering team, the core simulation infrastructure, and our new agentic framework. TechCrunch covered the raise and what we’re building: techcrunch.com/2026/04/16/th… If you’re an exceptional engineer interested in redefining autonomy development, we’d love to chat: antioch.com/careers.

We are introducing Felix. Felix is a purpose-built agent for high finance, designed for long-running, complex workflows and capable of producing decks, models, and documents end-to-end. Felix executes so you can focus where it matters.

You can now run any CLI agent with first-class support in Warp, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Gemini CLI. • Vertical tabs • Notifications when they need you • Integrated code review • Remote control from mobile • Rich input editor Download Warp for free today.

For most of history, expertise was scarce, constrained by time and reach: one person, one career, one lifetime. Now, for the first time, we can encode, evaluate, and scale it. We believe the wisdom that once took a lifetime to build shouldn’t take a lifetime to find. Today, we’re excited to announce that @AfterQuery has raised a $30M Series A at a $300M valuation and that we’ve since surpassed $100M in annual revenue run rate, to build the data layer of professional AI.

Today, we’re setting the new standard for complex document extraction. Introducing Deep Extract. It utilizes an agent harness approach that repeatedly iterates and verifies outputs until they are at human-level accuracy. More below:

Ambition is timeless. Tools are not. Today we are announcing an $80M acceleration round at a $1B valuation led by @foundersfund, with participation from @sequoia @generalcatalyst @Lux_Capital @RedGlass @lightspeedvp Avenir, and @Haystack. In the last year, we grew revenue 7x, added some of the world’s most serious hardware enterprises, and built over twice the new product surface area than in our prior two years combined. The most ambitious and fastest-moving hardware teams choose Nominal, from aerospace to energy, and automotive to defense, because it helps them learn faster and scale more efficiently. Our mission is to bring that advantage to every team building in the physical world. For those not yet using Nominal, we hope to have the opportunity to earn your trust and work hard for you and your company soon. All systems Nominal. 🚀 Thank you @business and @EdLudlow for sharing out story. And @traestephens and @zebulgar for doubling down.

I’m excited to share that Ease Health is coming out of stealth with a $41M Series A led by @a16z, alongside @AbstractVC, Sunflower, F3, and @BoxGroup, to build the AI-native operating system for behavioral health. Behavioral health runs on some of the most fragmented infrastructure in healthcare. Providers are forced to stitch together EHRs, billing systems, CRMs, schedulers, documentation tools, and compliance workflows just to operate. We started Ease because this is not a tooling problem. It is an architecture problem. So we rebuilt the system from the ground up. Ease is a single platform where AI is not a bolt-on. It is foundational. -Documentation is handled by an ambient AI scribe. -An AI voice agent can manage intake and scheduling. -Our CRM auto-enriches leads and logs activity automatically. -Front desks can instantly match patients to the right provider. -Charts are audited continuously. -Utilization review and prior authorizations can run autonomously. When data is entered once, it flows everywhere it needs to go across clinical records, billing workflows, and reporting. One through-line of truth across the entire organization. Since launching, we have grown quickly and now support hundreds of behavioral health providers across inpatient, outpatient (IOP, PHP, MAT), and residential. The behavioral health crisis is not a demand problem. Providers are buried in manual documentation, claim denials, compliance friction, and disconnected systems. We are building the system designed to remove that burden. We are grateful to Andreessen Horowitz for leading this round, and thankful for the support of all of our investors and partners who believe in rebuilding healthcare infrastructure the right way. Your conviction and partnership mean a great deal to our team.

We've raised $100m at a $1.15b valuation from @Accel, @GVteam, and existing investors to accelerate deployment of the most capable and accurate accounting agents across CAS, tax, audit, and advisory. Basis is used by 30% of the Top 25 accounting firms and dozens more across the Top 150. Today we're announcing the first accounting agent to complete a business tax workbook end-to-end. Our focus on production-grade, long-horizon agents means that 12 months from now, the work Basis handles will make even this look routine. We're looking for a few very intense people who want to build at the frontier.

Falconer is building a structured knowledge graph for the AI era. Excited for @capitaltruist and the team to launch it publicly, and lucky to be part of it!

Loyal has raised a $100M Series C from age1, Baillie Gifford, existing investors, & more this brings Loyal's total funding to over a quarter of a billion dollars we are building the longevity pharma, starting with dog longevity. thanks @FastCompany for the exclusive ->

Congratulations to @MerrillLutsky, @TomasReimers, @gregmfoster and the whole @graphite team on joining @cursor_ai. I've been lucky to know them for over a decade, and it's been amazing to watch this team iterate from the early Screenplay days to now. Can't wait to see the impact you'll have at Cursor.

We built the thing everyone knows should exist but doesn’t.

IT powers the workplace, and they’re hurting. Their tools are abysmal. Their workloads are unsustainable. They’re stuck in a vicious cycle of break/fix. But IT doesn’t just want to fix things. They want to BUILD things. They want to BUILD automations for: ☑️ help desk requests. ☑️ onboarding and offboarding ☑️ software access requests and reviews ☑️ asset management ❌ They DON’T want AI slopbots. ❌ They DON’T want tradeoffs between efficiency and security. ❌ They DON’T want legacy software that belongs in a museum. At Serval, we built the AI platform IT teams deserve: an all-in-one suite of AI-powered tools to automate help desk requests, build workflows, transform ticketing, and manage software access and assets. Serval is more than the next generation ITSM. It’s a reimagining of how IT operates. It’s rocket fuel for IT teams. It’s a glimpse into a future where IT BUILDS - not just for themselves, but for the entire organization. We heard from one customer “I would give up a kidney to keep Serval in our org.” The good news is, we won’t ask you to 🙂 But that’s how big this pain is and how much value Serval delivers. Today, Serval takes a huge leap forward, announcing our $75M Series B led by @sequoia, taking our valuation to $1 billion just 20 months after founding. This is still the beginning, and there is so much to build. But today I’m so proud of our team and all we’ve accomplished for our customers. Thank you to the servals that have worked so hard to make this possible, especially my cofounder Alex McLeod and our COO/my wife Tatiana Birgisson. Thank you to our customers who have believed in our vision from the very beginning. Thank you to our new investors, including Sequoia, Meritech, Evantic, Tenacity Capital, Sound Ventures, Radical VC, and Frank Slootman, alongside returning investors Redpoint, First Round, and General Catalyst. And most of all, thank you to all the IT teams that enable our most meaningful work. We’re working to repay the favor. ⬇️ See thread below for feature by Reuters, and our blog post on the raise!

Baseten has acquired Parsed, now allowing us to deploy the world's best RL talent to help our customers own the intelligence layer. The talent density of the small Parsed team is insane: RL experts and alignment researchers from Oxford and Cambridge, multiple Rhodes Scholars, multiple University of Sydney mathematics medalists (iykyk), and quants and high frequency traders in spades. Most importantly, the team is 100% Australian. Continual learning is a key unlock for helping our customers own the intelligence layer, and we are very happy to help accelerate their ability to do this. Welcome, Parsed team!
