The future of marketing is psy-oping LLMs. In a few years most big purchasing decisions will be guided by AI assistants. This is scary — you have no idea what they’re saying about your product, and you have no way to change how they talk about you. We built Unusual to solve this problem. We’ve already shifted model’s perceptions of top startups from being flimsy to enterprise-ready, and have seen AI-driven leads skyrocket accordingly. Come work with us!
Congrats to @tryunusual on their $3.6M round! AI models are becoming the new influencers in buying decisions, but brands can't control what they say. Unusual is the complete AI marketing platform, helping companies understand and shape how AI talks about them. siliconangle.com/2026/01/05/…

Healthcare staff spend millions of hours each year calling insurance companies and navigating portals. @SplendorHealth automates insurance workflows (benefits verification, prior auth monitoring, credentialing) for healthcare companies, eliminating the headaches of portal access, EDI, and AI phone calls. ycombinator.com/launches/Ocr… Congrats on the launch, @tiwaaina!

I’m thrilled to announce @reductoai’s $75M Series B led by @a16z, which brings our total funding to $108M. Just five months after our Series A, we've surpassed 1 billion pages processed and grown our monthly volume 6x. We now process hundreds of millions of pages every month for some of the world's best AI teams. Here's what we've learned and where we're headed 🧵

Silicon Valley is absolutely shameless and that’s one of the best and worst things about this place.

Company that ran an espionage campaign to learn how we run demo calls now decided that their best ad copy is just "Reducto"

AI is your next channel, and it doesn't behave like anything you've seen before. You shouldn't be gaming prompts like you game SEO keywords. You aren't going to trick superintelligence. You need to earn genuine credibility with AI models themselves, just like a good PR strategy. 🧵
Unusual is the first “AI Relations” platform. It gets you more leads with PR campaigns targeted at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and more. Congrats on the launch, @willwjack and @kellermaloney! ycombinator.com/launches/OTB…

3) Attribution is hard. When someone learns about your product on an AI tool, they tend to do a zero-click or direct search of your company. You can’t figure out where they came from or how they learned about you — unlike SEO, where last-click attribution is reliable. You need to “triangulate” to attribute. Correlate sales call transcripts, new traffic and earned media, sample prompts, bot crawls on pages, ChatGPT citation click through, and more in order to understand the impact of your campaigns. It’s not going to be as clear cut as SEO, but it’s still possible to get leading indicators.

That's what @garrytan, President & CEO of @ycombinator, said about him: “His perspectives are exactly what our founders need”. Meet @kul, twice-exited YC founder who just launched a new fund investing exclusively in YC startups. forbes.com/sites/dariashunin…

Why should we celebrate Juneteenth? For the same reason we celebrate the Fourth of July. For our country has two foundings. The first, a promise of "a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Excited to share that I've joined @FirstRound to invest in exceptional founders at the earliest stages of their journeys. 🚀 First Round backed some of my close friends last year (special thanks to @aditabrm for the introduction and @the_yuppy for the support), and it's been a joy to see the deep commitment and service they provide to their founders. Even though I'm only one day in, the intensity and care with which the team operates has been inspiring. I'm looking forward to working closely with and learning from @btrenchard, @brettberson, and the rest of the First Round team. It's a real privilege to be a part of such a storied firm, and it's an honor to work alongside visionaries at the most formative stages of company building who are fundamentally changing how we work and live. This new chapter builds upon almost two years at @NEA, where I had the opportunity to work with so many kind, humble, and high integrity people. I'm grateful to the NEA team for taking a bet on me and giving me the opportunity to learn the craft of venture and support some remarkable companies. To the founders I've worked with and those I've yet to meet - thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. 🙏

🚨 The Yemen groupchat fiasco is just the beginning. The next wave of national security leaks will be worse. Our digital infrastructure is not built for a world where: 1️⃣ Groupchats run everything. 2️⃣ AI reads, creates, and weaponizes their contents. It’s collapsing. That’s why we built Kibu. 🧵
