Of all the things I could have gotten wrong in an article, this one weirdly felt the most shameful.

@sri_batchu Seville supremacy

Know this is rage bait bc it excludes the US west coast.

The world is fragmenting. Supply chains are shifting. Volatility is no longer cyclical - it’s structural. Yet most businesses still manage risk on spreadsheets and phone calls. In a world of tariffs, wars, and supply shocks - that doesn't hold up. Markets move too fast. Today we’re publicly launching Pillar, and announcing an additional $20m in investment, led by @a16z. Pillar is an AI copilot for commodity and currency hedging - built for real world operators like you. We monitor your physical exposures and manage risk in real time - protecting your margins at all times. If you operate a physical business, let’s talk!

Scoop on fund returns for @apartovi's Neo. Neo's 2018 Fund 1 is at 7.5X, its 2021 Fund 2 is at 6.5X net. There's a widening gap between high performers and everyone else in VC now. More on how Neo did it: wsj.com/pro/venture-ca…

WSJ features @Neo as one of the highest performing VC funds of the decade. Thank you for the in-depth feature, Yuliya!

It’s happening!

Paul Gross (@paulawgross) and his team at @RemoraCarbon are trying to do something that’s never been done before. They're building mobile carbon capture devices for commercial trucks and trains—capturing CO2 from moving vehicles before it enters the atmosphere, then turning those emissions into revenue by selling it to customers that can turn the liquified CO2 into new products. In this episode of Hard Tech, YC's Gustaf Alströmer (@gustaf) visits Remora's headquarters outside Detroit to see how a recent college grad with no engineering background is helping transform the $2 trillion transportation industry.

MILESTONE DAY 🥂 We just raised $6.2M in seed funding to scale @IrisFinanceCo - the AI-native CFO platform for CPG brands As the former CFO of a venture backed 8 figure beauty brand, I know how hard finance is in CPG first hand, & this is the co-pilot I wish I had Running finance at a CPG brand is uniquely challenging because you're selling multiple things in multiple places all with different margins. This makes sales planning difficult, which makes inventory planning difficult, which drains your cash flow. We've built a verticalized FP&A platform for brands that are moving physical goods and looking to integrate AI into the planning process. Our database pulls in sales, marketing, accounting, and supply chain data, then normalizes and enriches it to enable you to gain visibility and real predictive power. Implementing AI across your planning workflow is the best way to optimize cash flow through improving daily visibility into profitability, driving tighter sales forecasts, and optimizing inventory & cash movement. But the market speaks for itself. We've onboarded hundreds of brands already and raced to multiple 7 figures of ARR in less than 18 months from tech-forward brands that are looking to adopt AI. Thank you first and foremost to our amazing team at Iris Finance (we're hiring btw) & to @GlasswingVC / @fcollective / @hpa_vc for seeing what we see, and our existing investors @BarrelVentures / Rosecliff / @Revolution for continuing to back us, and of course to our amazing customers and supporters P.S. sorry to disappoint with no cinematic launch video, but I did make this pretty graphic 😊 Read more at the link below

Watched @axel + @vignesh turn their whole house into a robot lab these past months. Strongest team I know in AI + hardware. This is just the beginning 🚀

Introducing MARS, the first Personal AI Robot. In technology, getting to the future we want starts with building it together. This is why we designed Mars. Inspired by early PCs, Mars is a powerful, complete, extendable robot. It runs BASIC, an open embodied AI agent we created for you to program with code, demonstrations, and prompts. This allows Mars to perform complex long-horizon tasks involving spatial memory, reasoning, manipulation and navigation. Pre-orders open now ⬇️ Demos & details in the thread
