Endurance is proud to announce our $54M Series A, led by @foundersfund, to develop subsea geothermal energy. We're building mass-manufacturable and mass-deployable generators to access terawatts of low cost, clean, baseload power.

Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99% accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents. We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination. While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy. So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code. When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective. In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four. Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99% quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

ONE WEEK OUT

“So you bootstrapped the whole company?” “Yeah, I turned it down. Turned down the funding.” “Oh.” “Yeah, I turned it down just to do this, just to grind it out, build it myself.” “So you had an opportunity to take venture money?” “Yeah, a term sheet and everything.” “From who?” “Yeah, a big fund out in Menlo Park. It was a top-tier firm, though. And they offered me like 15, some shit like 10 billion or something like that, 5 billion, something like that.” “Wait, wait, wait. A term sheet.” “Yeah.” “Okay, but not 5 billion dollars. They offered you 5 billion dollars for your seed round?” “Yeah.” “For a seed round?” “Yeah.” “What are we doing here?” “Like, what the y’all, like, you know what I’m saying?” “That’s more than the GDP of a small country.” “But I was so younger, like, I didn’t know what a cap table was.” “Are you sure they offered you 5 billion dollars?” “I turned it down.” “You didn’t even have a product.” “It was a SAFE, like, I had to give up equity for this decade.” “But you would get $5 billion?” “Yeah.” “You’d be one of the most valuable companies on earth.” “It was somewhere, it was in the billions, though.”

100 electric hydrofoil boats. A ~$100M contract. We are building a first-of-its-kind water transit network to transform how people move across the Maldives. To scale this, we are partnering with Dubai-based JIH and its Maldives affiliate HARIM, led by Mohamed Ali Janah — a team with a 40-year track record of building the region’s premier resorts and launching the newly licensed Maldives Premier Bank. Deployment of the first fleet starts later this year.

I want the world to hear what we heard.
