A pattern we’re seeing across AI: Entire service industries are becoming software. Customer support → AI agents Sales research → AI workflows Marketing agencies → AI growth engines That’s why we invested in @GOMEGAAI's $11.5M Series A with @GoodwaterCap , @a16z, Atreides, @kearnyjackson , and WNBA all-stars. Mega replaces the agency stack for SMBs with software that continuously runs: SEO, paid ads, and website optimization. The founders built it for their own startup. Traffic grew 100x, and CAC dropped 80%. SMB marketing is a $100B+ services market, and AI-native infrastructure is just getting started. signalfire.com/blog/mega-inve…

In the agent era, trust is infrastructure. Solid is building the semantic foundation for enterprise AI, automatically defining, testing, and aligning business logic so agents run on a continuously validated source of truth. We’re proud to lead their $20M seed round along with @Team8. signalfire.com/blog/solid-inv…

The U.S. healthcare system doesn’t fail because we lack capital or innovation. It fails because, at the moment patients are most vulnerable, we ask them to navigate a system that even experts struggle to understand. That gap between diagnosis and treatment is where care breaks down. Nearly 40% of patients delay or avoid care entirely due to confusion, friction, or cost. The human and clinical consequences are enormous. That’s why Wayne Hu and our @SignalFire team are proud to back Solace in their $130M Series C, led by IVP, alongside @MenloVentures, @torch Capital, Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, and RiverPark Ventures. Founded after founder & CEO Jeremy Gurewitz experienced these failures firsthand with his mother’s cancer diagnosis, Solace is now growing 10x YoY in a $20B+ market, delivering faster time-to-care and measurably better outcomes. We're proud to partner with Jeremy Gurewitz, Sara Sargent, and the Solace team as they make advocacy a core infrastructure, not a luxury. Huge shoutout to @RebeccaTorrenc5 at @Bloomberg who shares more about Solace's story. Link to our blog on our business-in-a-box thesis and why we invested in comments below. 👇

The U.S. healthcare system isn’t broken because we lack money or innovation. It’s broken because we leave patients alone when they’re most scared. That gap between diagnosis and treatment is where outcomes are lost. That’s why we’re proud to back @solacehealth_ to make human advocacy a standard, reimbursed part of care, when it matters most.

Every trend in longevity is downstream of habit formation. Combine time management with willpower, and you can master diet, exercise, productivity, and sleep. I'd been looking for an app like Momo to make habit formation fun. Excited to fund it too!

11 years ago I met my future wife at a TechCrunch Disrupt after-party. That slightly geeky but earnest gathering changed my life, so I feel a duty to keep hosting them. Last night at our @SignalFire Disrupt after-party, I bet someone found their co-founder, new job, lead investor, or maybe their forever person. Founders should stay locked. BUT if they only clock out for a few hours, we want to give them a place to commune and be reinspired by the world they’re building for. Plus, you might hit the jackpot too
