🎉 Congrats @robingerardlobo, Tauseef Khan, & @lumian_ai team on their $3M raise!
Over 100,000 brands now do $1M a year on Amazon, but most are still stuck w/ agencies built for a different era. Lumian flips that: AI agents running 24/7 across listings, ads, inventory & more

ANNOUNCING LUMIAN
We raised $3 million to rebuild how Amazon brands are run in the age of AI.
Faster. Better. For a fraction of what traditional agencies charge today.
Bold claim? Let me prove it.
RT comment “LUMIAN” and I’ll get our latest AI agent to do a FULL AUDIT on your listings.

Congrats @heyivo on their $55M Series B! 🎉
What has stood out from day one is @mkjung_ and Jacob Duligall's clarity of vision. Contracts should not be a bottleneck. They should be a strategic advantage.

That conviction has made @heyIvo the platform teams trust to move faster, reduce risk, and unlock real intelligence from contracts—now powering hundreds of customers, from IBM and Uber to Shopify and Atlassian.

2025 at Fika was all about launching Fund 4, building community across coasts, and leveling up how we support founders from AI-powered platform work to 580 recruiting and BD intros. A quick look back at what made it unforgettable 👇

👶 1 Baby the most important milestone of the year!
Building a firm means building community. #LATechDayofService brought LA tech together to give back with 1,400 food kits, 600 school bags, and 300 meals 💛

Huge thanks to our founders, LPs, partners, and the tech community for an unforgettable 2025. Excited to double down in 2026 with a strong start and early portfolio wins including @select_dev and @SGNL_ai acquisitions last week!

AI in insurance started with automation: faster quotes, smoother workflows.
But the next wave is AI that drives revenue. Platforms like Outmarket AI, Coverforce, and Liberate help brokers sell smarter, not just work faster.

1/ What’s the one trait that sets successful startups apart?
It’s not pitch decks, market size, or pedigree.
It’s responsiveness.
Fast replies = focus, momentum, execution.📬
We studied 94 of our portcos at @fikavc and the results were wild.👇
