Salesforce Ventures is proud to invest in @resolveai 🚀 Monitoring tools tell you something is broken. They can't tell you why — and they can't fix it. Resolve AI can. 60% reduction in MTTR, 70% faster alert triage, 10-minute diagnoses on issues that take hours. The next era of enterprise AI is about how software is run. Cheers @spirosx and the entire Resolve AI team 🤝salesforceventures.com/persp…

We just raised a $45M Series B at a $500M valuation led by @a16z and @SalesforceVC to build the knowledge infrastructure for AI

Announcing our investment in @upwindsecurity🤝 Upwind uses eBPF for runtime-first cloud security — proving which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in production and filtering out 95% of alert noise. Proud to partner on their Series B. salesforceventures.com/persp…

X turned into a blogging platform and I caved. In my defense, @AnthropicAI 's Series G and crossing $14B in run-rate revenue felt worth more than 280 characters, so it's for a good cause 😎 A lot of people don’t know this but @SalesforceVC has been an investor in Anthropic since the Series C back in early 2023 and we’ve doubled down every single round including this most recent one. Many may think investing at the Series C was a no-brainer, but this was before neolabs raising at multi-billion valuations was a common occurrence. Anthropic is THE canonical success story that has paved the way for this archetype of startup journey, going from research to successful commercial products that can capture billions of dollars of value. In honor of their fundraise, today we published a deep dive on our journey with Anthropic. My article with @pdrews unpacks the behind-the-scenes around how we made the decision to double down every single round.

Announcing our investment in Fundamental 🚀 Most enterprise data lives in spreadsheets — a format AI couldn't crack. Until now. Fundamental built Large Tabular Models: accurate predictions with one line of code. 🔗Read more about our investment: salesforceventures.com/persp…

“SFV has been amazing in helping us navigate scaling our team, figuring out which roles to fill, who would be good candidates for particular positions … you were also instrumental in helping collaborate with Salesforce as a customer.” – Russ d'Sa, CEO, @livekit

This #GivingTuesday, we’re spotlighting @G2dotcom, a company turning values into impact 🤝 After joining @PledgeOne, G2 committed 1% of company equity to expand STEM education. To date they've raised $1M & contributed thousands of volunteer hours. salesforceventures.com/persp…

That's a wrap on #DF25 Day 2️⃣ Today our portfolio leaders hosted engaging sessions on the future of robotics, CEO leadership, and enterprise AI. Some threads that connected it all: ♾️𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 — Whether you're @thygesen_allan reimagining how @Docusign works, @DarioAmodei building AI that transforms code production, or @Lindon_Gao and @pathak2206 scaling robotic intelligence, the message is the same: Groundbreaking companies are rethinking how work gets done with the help of AI. ❤️ 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 — Every conversation today touched on building trust with customers. While AI disrupts business models, it's pivotal for companies to stay true to their identity so they can effectively guide their customers into the future. Innovation without trust simply doesn't last. ⚙️ 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 — AI is here to handle routine work to help workers focus on tougher challenges that can only be understood through subject-matter expertise, first-hand experience, and nuance. We're poised for a future where AI makes workers more valuable, not less, by enabling them to focus on what they do best. After a long day of conferencing, we ended in grand fashion at the Chase Center, where Benson Boone and Metallica lit up the stage at this year's Dreamfest 🎶 Always nice to be able to put our pens down and connect with the team.
