The aging research will continue. Thank you @foundersfund for leading, @ThriveCapital, @Greenoaks and @QuietCapital for joining and all our insiders for coming back.

This man is on fire.

We’ve closed a $230 million Series C financing with participation from @khoslaventures, @lightspeedvp, @ycombinator, IQT, and @QuietCapital, all pre-existing investors in Science, among others.

Soon we’ll combine (a) the speed of execution seen in Taalas with (b) the duration of execution seen via METR. And get days of work done in seconds.

There will be a new member of my family soon...

What's in My Bag, 2025

I'm back to building! Excited to share I've started a company with @pariljain and @lukeholoubek. We're building bots that do chores so you don't have to. Everyone is busy. Bots can help. So many things compete for our time - commutes, longer working hours, and the complexities of modern life. Our team has spent years building robots (including the self-driving kind) that give people some of that time back, and we're taking that a step further with this company. We've raised $150m from an amazing group of investors and entrepreneurs, led by @natfriedman, @danielgross, and @nabeel. Also including @QuietCapital, @patrickc, @collision, @eladgil , @byersblake, @fiftyyears, and many more. More to come soon! Follow our progress here @thebotcompany.

Let’s roll.
