thanks for the coolest vibes @blokintel

SF got some crazy parties this one was cyberpunk themed

On September 4th we launch /BLOK.SIM/01 - part party, part experiment, part glimpse into the future. 150 AI minds dropped into a simulation: neon corridors, interrogation rooms, UV poker. Black Mirror IRL 👀 joinblok.co/simulation

Fantastic job to @blokintel, led by @CharmanTom & @HiggsOlivia on their $5M seed round! @MaCVentureCap led the round with participation from angels. This will help build their AI agents to improve product experimentation & expand operations. #seedfunding #AI #startup

@blokintel has officially launched out of stealth 🎉 AI coding tools like Cursor and Replit are cranking out code faster than ever, helping developers ship faster. But even with all that acceleration, most teams still have to launch full beta versions or rely on simulation tools to see how new features will actually play out in the wild. Blok is changing that. Just coming out of stealth, they’re building AI agents that simulate real user personas - so teams can test how people will actually use their product before pushing code live. Pretty powerful unlock for anyone building apps. Shout out to @charmantom, @HiggsOlivia and the whole Blok team. We're proud to back them alongside @MaCVentureCap, @ProtagonistXYZ, @RackhouseVC and @weekendfund. techcrunch.com/2025/07/09/bl…

Blok (@blokintel) raised $5M in seed funding (@MaCVentureCap) to reinvent product testing before code gets written. @CharmanTom and @HiggsOlivia built #AIagents that simulate #userbehavior so product teams stop shipping guesses and start deploying clarity. Early traction with tools like @figma, @segment, and @amplitude_chain? Not just integrations, a #productdevelopment ecosystem built for speed.

Congratulations to @CharmanTom and the @blokintel team on coming out of stealth with $7.5m in funding. Blok uses AI to simulate user behavior before shipping code––to test ideas in hours, not weeks, and uncover issues before they become expensive mistakes.

👋 Meet Blok 📍 HQ: San Francisco, California 👥 Leadership: Tom Charman (@CharmanTom) and Olivia Higgs (@HiggsOlivia) 🌐 Website: joinblok.co 🚀 Vision & Opportunity: Blok is an AI-powered platform that helps product teams make better decisions by simulating product experiments with synthetic users. By predicting how real users will react to new features before any code is written, Blok enables teams to validate ideas, prioritize what matters most, and build with confidence without relying on gut feelings or interrupting actual users. 💸 Round: Pre-Seed

Congrats to an incredible team of serial entrepreneurs @CharmanTom and @HiggsOlivia on Blok coming out of Stealth! 🥳 Blok is a simulation environment for digital products. Instead of waiting weeks to A/B test with real users or launch full Beta versions of apps, teams can test changes in hours, using AI-powered simulated users that behave like the real thing. techcrunch.com/2025/07/09/bl…
