turbopuffer crossed $100M run-rate in March. 19mo after $1M. Profitable & <$1M raised. Cursor・Anthropic・Notion・Cognition・Harvey・Bridgewater・Ramp・Linear・Legora・Superhuman・Atlassian・Granola We’d be nowhere without them. We work like hell to exceed their expectations.

@carrawu @p0 epic

Excited to finally share what I've been working on at @p0 -- it represents the culmination of a thesis I've had for >2 years & many months of hard work from this team. I became obsessed w Shapley values during my time in crypto, & I'm making the bet that they'll reshape the economics of the web as agents come online. Please reach out if you're interested in joining us.

@faionur @AbstractVC @generalcatalyst @usv you guys should use @turbopuffer

Status has raised $17M in seed and Series A funding led by @AbstractVC, @generalcatalyst and @usv to let anyone step inside their favorite stories, become famous, and live a million different lives. We quietly launched Status last year and grew to over 1 million users in 19 days - making us the fastest growing AI app since ChatGPT. But we hit a (predictable) snag - the app was incredibly expensive to run. How do you serve millions of users without degrading the product with a cheap LLM? So the team locked in: we rebuilt the whole experience, and our technical bets paid off. Our users now spend 35 minutes on average to (90 minutes each day for power users!), and millions of characters and worlds have been created. All by our users. The next frontier of entertainment is mobile-first and deeply personal. Traditional mobile games take years to build and rarely stick. TV shows are fleeting in the age of streaming. Status is different. It is not a game you finish, it is a world you can live in. Status is a new category entirely: Immersive Social Entertainment, and we believe strongly that it is the next great entertainment paradigm. We’ve 10x’d to millions in annual revenue in Q1 2026, we're just getting started. On Status, you can be anyone.

@EvanJSantiago @loreobsessed duct taped together

Three years ago, @DevinLewtan and I sat in a dim room with tin-foil hats on and rambled about the future of culture being rooted in joy, ritual, community and life before our last happy year — 2016. Now every industry is chasing the same signal. New musings for @loreobsessed 👇

Inside Cursor ✅ Inside Notion ✅ Where should we go next?

@lizwandersworld yay go liz!!! it’s alive!!

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding. We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style. We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today. Welcome to the new Era. Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

@anuatluru @semil we all play different roles in the show

in the (near) future it will be prestigious to be behind the scenes

@Sirupsen for sure

we refused to do another happy hour or dinner at Google Next conferences are exhausting, especially big ones, so tomorrow at 330p we invite you to come puff in the parking lot with us [cigar]. puff optional. luma.com/dm5t70of?tk=4B…
