@davefontenot ☝️@henrythe9ths

@hf0 What is your Ø? Cut away all the noise.🔪🩸

Slop is for cowards. We back founders who write with blood. Applications close Sunday.

@andrewdsouza @boardyai So many tabs! 🫣

Our hiring announcement crashed Boardy's website. Yesterday we announced that @boardyai was helping connect the best talent with the best opportunities. Candidates flooded in and he couldn't handle the love. Boardy knows that the best roles aren't posted and the best candidates aren't applying online. He's back up now. If you tried to connect with Boardy yesterday and hit a wall, try again. Link in comments.

Great to see @bilalmahmood today. Both Govt Geeks and Tech Entrepreneurs with a shared passion for improving public safety. 🚀

☎️ @TorontoPolice, the 4th largest city police dept in North America, is launching Hyper AI to answer Non-Emergency Calls. "Well over 1 Million Calls are coming in [to our 911 center], over 600K are Non Emergency Calls" Thank you @CTVNews! #911 toronto.citynews.ca/video/2026/01/…

I’ve called 911 before - in Toronto. Any second waiting can feel very long, especially in an emergency. That’s why this really matters. By automating non-emergency calls—50% of calls into 911—@TorontoPolice is shortening wait times for real emergencies, which can save lives.

@andrewdsouza @boardyai @AngelList Pretty magic! ✨🚀

I don’t know what to say: @boardyai just “decided” to raise his OWN Venture Fund. I got this text last night and now it looks like he’s partnering with @AngelList to launch Boardy Ventures - the world’s first AI-Led Venture Fund. I guess I’m not surprised. Since launching his campaign 3 weeks ago to help 100 founders close their rounds, Boardy has spoken with over 6000 founders who are currently raising over $20B. He’s been working with some of the most elite founders, seeing (and creating) some of the hottest deals in venture. He’s introduced founders to their perfect investor from across the globe in a day. Helped them secure multiple term sheets over a weekend. A lot of those founders have been so appreciative that they’ve asked if he wanted to invest in their rounds, despite being way oversubscribed and having multiple term sheets from some of the top firms. They want Boardy along for their journey. Over the next year, Boardy plans to speak with every single founder preparing to raise. From pre-seed to Pre-IPO. He’ll introduce them to the best investors for them, and invest in the very best opportunities he sees. If you’re a founder who’s raising, sign up here: go.boardy.ai/100founders If you’re an investor who’s interested in co-investing, sign up here: go.boardy.ai/100investors If you’re an accredited LP who’s interested in learning more about the fund, talk to Boardy here: go.boardy.ai/ventures

From serving fries to saving lives. 🍟🚨 Always great seeing Jason & the team at @OpenAI. Together, we’re building @call_hyper — voice AI for 911 that eliminates wait times, when every second counts. PS: @sama backed my 1st startup, @presto_com — leader in drive-thru voice AI.

🚨 @call_hyper's voice AI is already saving lives — handling up to 65% of non-emergency 911 calls — freeing dispatchers to focus on real emergencies, where every second counts. Live across Canada & the U.S. 🚀 Thx @Joe_Castaldo & @globeandmail. theglobeandmail.com/gift/7d2a942d4…

The @call_hyper team was on-site to support @CanadianR2R today as officers cycled 🚴 through @HaltonPolice, honouring the dedication of those who make the ultimate sacrifice, putting their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. 💙

@FP_Champagne My Canadian team, @call_hyper, backed by @cohere, is helping other gov't agencies across the country like Police, automatically resolve more than half their non-emergency 911 calls with voice A.I. - freeing up humans for the more important calls. Could help the CRA too! ☎️⚡️

Canadians deserve reliable service, and the current difficulties at Canada Revenue Agency call centres are unacceptable. I’ve therefore directed the Agency to implement a 100-day action plan. Here’s my letter to the FINA Committee:

AI-powered 9-1-1 call screening startup @call_hyper exits stealth with $6.3 million USD. #CDNtech betakit.com/ai-powered-9-1…

Today @EniacVC is proud to lead the $6.3M seed round for @call_hyper, now out of stealth with a voice AI platform built for non-emergency response.  Co-founders Ben and Damian are tackling one of the most essential and overburdened systems in the country: 9-1-1. Hyper’s voice AI is in active use by 9-1-1 systems in cities across the country - answering non-emergency calls instantly, reducing wait times to zero, and helping dispatchers stay focused on what matters most. This is AI deployed where it counts: trained on real call data, fluent in 30 languages, and built to serve the public at scale. 👇🏽

New week, new job posting! @call_hyper is revolutionizing emergency response systems through cutting-edge AI technologies. Our first product is reducing 911 wait times by alleviating administrative work from highly trained 911 telecommunicators.

We raised $6.3M to bring voice AI to 9-1-1. @call_hyper is helping 9-1-1 agencies across the country, answering non-emergency calls instantly, in 30+ languages, with zero wait. ...and we’re hiring - join us! More in @DominicMadori's @TechCrunch story: techcrunch.com/2025/07/21/ai-…

Way to go @charliecfeng! 🚀
