We at @BainCapVC are thrilled to announce we led the $10M seed of @joinadaptive and are doubling down in their $50M Series A.
Adaptive is tackling one of the largest and fastest growing sectors in healthcare: the $140 billion home health market.
As an AI-native service end to end, they have built an important flywheel of lower back office costs and better clinician experience that leads to greater patient acceptance, higher density and better outcomes.
@AlexRWendland and @ryanatolsma have built an exceptional team, and we couldn't be more excited to see them build healthcare that America deserves.

When Chris Turlica and Hugo Dozois-Caouette started @maintainx, they were solving a problem that Silicon Valley wasn’t paying attention to: 80% of the global workforce wasn’t working at a desk, yet only 1% of software spend went toward tools for them. MaintainX built world class software for the factory floor.
Today, this early insight becomes mainstream with Autodesk's proposed acquisition of MaintainX for $3.6B.
We are proud to have led MaintainX's Series C in 2023 and co-led the Series D in 2025 alongside our friends at Bessemer. The tenacity, vision, and consistency that "Killer Teddy Bear" Chris Turlica and team bring to work every day are unparalleled. It has been a joy to work with them.
Congratulations to the entire MaintainX team on this well-deserved milestone.

In under 18 months, @WeAreLegora have scaled from $1M to $100M in ARR, a milestone that almost no enterprise software companies reach so quickly.
Legal AI is now entering the 1 to 10 phase, where agents, automation, and entirely new workflows will redefine what’s possible.

Memo is a robot that uses AI to perform household tasks effectively.
Today @sundayrobotics announced its Series B, and we’re proud to be investors.
Training robots for the home is hard — the environment is messy, dynamic, and full of edge cases. So Sunday is training robots directly on real households.
Founders @tonyzzhao and @chichengcc built a glove-based system that lets hundreds of contributors record everyday tasks in their own homes, creating high-fidelity demonstrations that feed directly into robot learning.
Home robotics will be defined by the companies that learn fastest from real homes. Sunday is building that loop.

We invested in @WeAreLegora for a simple reason: users love the product.
In our diligence, lawyers consistently described Legora as the most production-ready AI platform for legal work. Better handling of large documents. Cleaner formatting. End-to-end execution on complex tasks like multi-version contract review.
The difference shows up in the last mile and in legal, that’s what matters.
Legora combines strong product instinct (multi-model from day one, built inside native workflows) with real shipping velocity. Clear product judgment. Intensity around execution.
@MaxJunestrand & team — excited to be in your corner as you build the defining legal AI platform.

Pylon began with a simple belief: B2B support had outgrown the tools built to manage it.
Teams weren’t working in silos anymore. They were collaborating in real time, across functions, around the same customer.
The old systems weren’t broken. They were outdated.
So Pylon built a new system of record for the way companies actually operate.
Now 1,500 customers rely on it.

Before @usePylon had customers, it had an air mattress.
@marty_kausas had left Airbnb, heard the market was “crowded,” and was told to get a normal job.
The problem wouldn’t let go.
B2B support isn’t ticketing — it’s sales, success, and finance working in the same thread. Legacy tools weren’t built for that.
Today: 1,500 customers. $51M raised.
Still happy. Still grinding.

Tether ♥️ Whop
Whop has 20M users, stats that is growing at an insane rate.
Whop users earned more than 3B dollars collectively.
By integrating USDT, USAT and Tether’s Wallet Development Kit, WDK, Whop will offer its users faster global payments and more reliable financial tools, driving growth, individual, family, and community self-sufficiency, and financial inclusion.
Whop is the future of the Internet Markets.

We are excited to announce that @tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $200M into Whop, valuing us at $1.6B.
Our partnership with Tether marks a major step in building the world's largest internet market. Tether is committed to enabling everyone in the world to participate in the new internet economy. The way humans work and create value is changing fast. The world needs both an open internet market giving people a platform to conduct business, as well as a transparent payments network.
Tether and Whop together will work to bring a sustainable income to billions of people throughout the world. There is enormous opportunity when you combine Tether’s global scale and wallet technology with Whop’s community of next generation entrepreneurs.
My co-founders and I met as teenagers on the internet selling software. We first launched Whop as a way for us to sell our own software to people in Facebook and Discord forums. Prior to Whop, the place we found customers was different from the place we collected payments, different from the place we talked to customers, and there wasn’t a central place to “do business” on the internet.
In partnership with Tether, we will be scaling infrastructure in real-time for new business models as they emerge across the globe.
The job is just getting started.

Physical AI is moving from dashboards to the warehouse floor.
@GatherAI_ announced today its $40M Series B after a big year: doubled operational footprint, 250% bookings growth, and expansion across logistics, manufacturing, food & beverage, retail, aerospace and automotive.
This is Physical AI done right: turning real-world complexity into operational leverage.
Congrats to the Gather AI team on a well-earned milestone 🚀

January was a record breaking month for Whop.
> $240,000,000 earned by users globally
> Avg 50,000 user signups per day
> 252,000 businesses created
> 12 month NRR came in at 140%
We’ve seen strong growth across all existing categories, and with recent partners, users on the Whop network can now sublease apartments, buy tickets, get paid for data-labeling jobs, and so much more.
We remain committed to being where the internet does business.

"I think it's really funny how many people get offended when there are teams that are hard at work. Obviously, results are the most important." - @cultured
"When you look at our business today, we probably do more than a billion dollars a year in paid groups and educational programs. Almost a billion dollars in agency services that are sold on the platform. We'll maybe do $300M-$400M pure software sales. I think we have more than $50M of physical product sales each year now."

A record breaking $188M was earned by people on Whop last month.
> 120 people made more than $250K
> 300 people made more than $100K
> 600 people made more than $50K
> 2,000 earned more than $10K
> 35,000 earned more than $1
There has never been a more important time for an open internet market to exist, where people can exchange ideas, software, and even physical products.
With support for physical products added a month ago, we’ve already created an extra $36M in annualized revenue for our merchant base.
We are now working hard to make it easier for more people to create quality offerings, opening up our payments and payouts infrastructure for other platforms, and expanding our affiliates advertising products so that everyone has out of the box distribution by selling on Whop.
Next up, we’ll be releasing new things you can do with your earned money on Whop.
More soon 🚀

Whop is the future of work.
25% of Americans with degrees can’t get jobs…
That’s why, as part of our mission to provide everyone with a sustainable income,
we’re working with the top colleges in America to teach students how to start an online business.

Whop just crossed $2B in GTV and $142 mil in ARR. Gen Z doesn’t want traditional jobs. Whop is becoming the backbone for how they earn.
I’m slightly biased… I invested in @whop at a $3M valuation in 2021 and remain the largest shareholder outside the founders. Even from that seat, I still don’t fully understand how Gen Z makes a living.
Most investors are asleep. They’ll notice when ARR goes from $142M toward $1B within 18 months.
The CEO Steven is one of the most naturally talented leaders of his age group. A world class engineer with unusual range, speed, and instinct. He has the kind of raw, unstructured talent you can’t manufacture: randomly insane piano skills but no Ivy League polish.
Whop is a hidden gem… a generational company built by generational founders.
