1/ Thrilled to be joining South Park Commons as a partner! @rsanghvi founded SPC with a simple premise. Enable ambitious and talented builders to explore what's next together. It has since grown into the preeminent place to get from -1 to 0. blog.southparkcommons.com/evan-tana-spc/

We've raised $3.33 Million to build the Optical highway to the Cosmos. Led by @AccelIndia and @Prosus_Ventures and given foundational and early support by @southpkcommons, @artparkindia and Manish Jain. Space is going from an endeavor to an economy. The world is racing to build the satellites of tomorrow, but still using the infrastructure of yesterday to talk to them. At @QOSMIC__Space our goal is to fundamentally solve this problem from an infrastructural lens, and build the backbone of communication for humanity's final frontier. A decade ago this company gets built in the US or Europe. We built it in Bangalore. All three of us left careers abroad to come back, because India now has the capital, the manufacturing depth, and the institutions to build world-class space infrastructure. We came back because this is now the right place to build it, and we will not be the last founders to make that choice. Building this with @RohitKR79 and @aalokelab . We are just getting started. Onwards and Upwards. @ACCEL @spc_india @prateekmehta42 @ankitcc @adityaag @akhi_agarwal @nayankote @_pagarwal @artparkindia @iiscbangalore @JPBrebner

Excited to share that Maya Research has raised $1.9M from South Park Commons, our first partners in this journey. Maya is building the voice interface for the rest of the world. For the billions who live through voice. We are building this interface around how people actually talk in real life, how they have conversations, discover, and decide who to trust. The rest of the world will only use the technology at this scale when it feels native, like one of their own. @southpkcommons @spc_india

Every “agent security” vendor is trying to become the control plane for your agents. At @asymptotelabs, we built the opposite. Today, we’re excited to reintroduce our OSS Agent Beacon. Agent Beacon now supports full unified telemetry across endpoint, CI, and cloud agents. The full agent execution trace, captured in a normalized schema that extends the OpenTelemetry standard. We deeply believe every enterprise should own its system of record for agent activity. Agent Beacon is our push to make that the default.

The best founders "carry a secret." That kept coming up when @saarsaar from @CRV stopped by @southpkcommons for a roundtable with our consumer founders. He shared what he saw early in DoorDash and Patreon — the kind of deep obsession and earned insight that's hard to fake.

Monday’s design fireside chat with @joellewenstein at @southpkcommons is waaaay oversubscribed (unsurprisingly) Invites go out this weekend. Request access below if you’d like to join. It’s going to be a heater of a convo. So much to cover: Claude Code, revenue, AI liftoff…

Great to have @Konstantine from @sequoia by @southpkcommons for a roundtable with some of our founders. Got into the future of agent swarms and capabilities to accelerate that reality, what Sequoia looks for in generational founders, and which human capabilities remain durable as machines close the gap. Thanks for coming by Konstantine! 

first check $500k-1M pre-seed
Passport is getting acquired for $425M! We were the very first check into Passport in 2017, so I get to keep my x handle for awhile longer. Congrats to @AlexYancher and team! When a relentless team solves a big problem in a massive market, great things happen.
Alex Yancher@AlexYancher

Today marks one of the most meaningful milestones in Passport’s journey: we’ve signed an agreement to be acquired by Global-e Nine years ago, Passport started with a simple but ambitious vision: Help brands reach their global potential. Since then, we’ve built a proprietary global shipping network that now leads the market in transit times and customer experience, along with a full suite of solutions that supports brands at every stage from cross-border enablement to in-country operations and marketplace management. And most importantly, we earned the trust of incredible brands and 3PLs around the world. What makes this moment special is that great companies are bought, not sold. As we continued to build for the future, Global-e approached us because they saw the value in what this team built: our logistics infrastructure, our operational depth, our customer relationships, and our approach for enabling global commerce. This partnership is so exciting because our visions to help brands go global are deeply aligned. Together, we can help more brands expand globally, faster and more confidently, with a more complete solution than either company could offer alone. To our customers: thank you for trusting us with your brands, your growth, and your customers around the world. Many of you took a chance on Passport early, partnered closely with us, pushed us to improve, and helped shape the company we are today. To our partners: thank you for helping us build a truly global ecosystem. Cross-border commerce is impossible without strong operational and strategic partnerships, and we would not be here without you. To our investors: thank you for believing in Passport’s vision from the beginning and for supporting us through every stage of growth. Your partnership, guidance, and conviction helped us build a company capable of redefining what global commerce can look like for modern brands.  And to the Passport team: thank you. This moment belongs to all of you. Thank you for the late nights, the ownership, the resilience, the creativity, and the belief in what we were building especially during the hard moments. What this team accomplished over the last 9 years is extraordinary, and this acquisition is a direct reflection of that work. I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built together. And the best part is we’re just getting started. Press Release here: investors.global-e.com/news-releases/…
