Anti Fund

@TheRealKKAC @business Right after @jakepaul *visited* Anduril @Antifund invested in July 2022... We've known Jake and @geoffreywoo for a little over 4 years now And we've been working on this particular Army contract for about a year

Amazing visit at Anduril @anduriltech Great people and great purpose @PalmerLuckey @mttgrmm @SchimpfBrian Proud to be invested in the future of defense tech @Antifund @geoffreywoo

Some markets just feel inevitable. Defense tech is one of them, which is why companies like @anduriltech stand out. And when you see what’s being built inside @OpenAI it’s hard not to recognize the scale of the shift happening in real time. That’s the kind of frontier we pay attention to.

Today, Pensive AI-assisted grading is officially coming out of closed beta with $6.8M in Seed funding to help instructors reclaim their most valuable resource: time. Grading should be an extension of your teaching, not a chore that eats your weekends. But as class sizes grow and resources shrink, instructors are being forced to trade mentorship for paperwork. Pensive gives instructors that time back so they can focus on students, research, and the kind of support only they can provide. The impact is already real: Pensive has graded over 3 million questions, saving countless hours for 1,000+ instructors from @UCBerkeley , @Columbia , @ArizonaState, and 100 other institutions. Our seed investment is a commitment to the future of the classroom. Our round was led by @MayfieldFund , with participation from @reachfund , @Antifund, Sequoia Capital scout fund, a16z scout fund, BASS Ventures, Vela Partners, @vladtenev (co-founder of Robinhood), @karimatiyeh (co-founder of Ramp), Arjun & @sergeykarayev (founders of Gradescope), and many others. If you're curious about how Pensive can help in your classes, comment below for an extended free trial!

.@PalmerLuckey explains in detail why he got serious about starting Erebor after SVB's collapse: "I realized you didn't have banks aligned with US interests, aligned with deep tech, hard tech, energy, things that are really complex and hard to understand, but do really matter." "You have farmers' banks that serve communities that are doing agriculture. You have banks that are doing oil and gas quite well. But when it comes to tech, it's a pretty sparse field." "Thinking about that, and also a lot of things that new technology enables — like using US dollar-backed cryptocurrencies to have 24/7/365 settlement of payments, which is something a lot of businesses need and very few get." "You kind of stack all these things together and it becomes very clear that there's room for a company to be a real bank, for real companies, doing real things."
