Meet Meridian: Turn Hours in Excel into Minutes
If you work in Excel, Meridian is built for you.
Meridian works with companies like Decagon, OffDeal, a top investment bank, and other financial institutions. We’re an AI-powered workspace that automates Excel modeling work with full traceability back to source data.
We raised $17 million in seed funding, co-led by @a16z and @TheGP to bring @MeridianAgent to more finance teams.

California is on a path to self-destruction. Hollywood is already toast and now the most productive entrepreneurs will leave taking their tax revenues and job creation elsewhere.
And then the Democrats highlight @CAgovernor Newsom as a great leader. Crazy.

I'm incredibly proud that Flock Safety played a key role in working with first responders to find the suspect in the Brown and MIT murders.
America cannot tolerate tragedies like what we saw at Brown and MIT this past week. The single best way to curb crime is to make sure would-be criminals know they'll be caught. Excellent intelligence is the only way to make that a reality, and we intend to continue using technology to make sure our law enforcement are empowered to do their jobs.

This company and the people behind it are special. And deeply patriotic. People don’t understand that only America is organized in a way to wield absolute military superiority responsibly. We cannot allow our adversaries to have the upper hand.

Built by American defense technology startup Anduril, Fury operates almost entirely by itself, carrying out mission plans and adjusting its flight without human input. "These fly out ahead of manned fighters, and they're able to find the enemy first, be able to engage the enemy well before a manned fighter has to be seen or is in range,” explains CEO Brian Schimpf. cbsn.ws/43jnUx6

Deel has raised $300M at a $17.3B valuation
We started about 6 years ago, struggling to even make $10K.
I've never shared this before because of how embarrassing our start was.
The story of how we went from $1K to $1B and the advice I'd give to my younger self:

We’re thrilled to be co-leading @Kalshi's Series D.
Prediction markets have established themselves not only as a new asset class, but as an extremely useful tool for predicting the future. And Kalshi is the leading company in the space. Not only does it have more volume than every other prediction market combined, but it’s the fastest growing tech company in the world outside AI.
Kalshi also announced today that they've expanded globally to 140 countries, making them the world's only unified global prediction market.
We’re excited to partner with @mansourtarek_ and @luanalopeslara as they scale this category-defining, world-changing company.
Tarek Mansour@mansourtarek_
Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others. Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world. And today…Kalshi goes global. 140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.

America cannot loose the robotics race with China.
We're behind and the implications are far greater than previous races like solar & telecom/5g.
We must prioritize national policy and investment to support US robotics end to end 🦾

At @a16z, we proudly invest in public safety and technology that supports our men and women in uniform who protect us everyday. So excited to support @sharp_usa!!!

Extremely proud to invest in Sharp Performance to support our police, first responders, fire fighters and public safety professionals in the hardest missions they face. When Danny and I first started talking to Sharp users, they were some of the most glowing and moving stories we’ve ever heard. Longtime cops who said Sharp coaching saved their marriages, made them a better dad or helped them cope with the trauma they experienced on the job. Therapists and HR leads can’t possibly understand the day to day stress of these difficult jobs. But Navy SEALs, military vets and other first responders can. And the magic of Sharp is in those relationships. In just over a year, Sharp has grown from 1 public safety deployment to 50 agencies across the country. They’re just getting started. At @a16z, we proudly invest in public safety and technology that supports our men and women in uniform who protect us everyday. Honored to invest in @Ben__Curley and the entire team at @sharp_usa as they support the hero’s journey. 🇺🇸🚀💪

Congratulations to @zoink, Praveer and the @figma team on going public.
When we originally invested, we said we were entering the decade of design.
Amazing how much that has happened. Thanks for letting us at @a16z be part of the journey.
