Regular tax firms don't grow like this. They stop taking clients after December and only grow 10% YoY. @fifteenth_tax is doing something different. We've been growing 20% MoM for the last 6 months, and it's only accelerating into this tax season. Why are we able to accept so much inbound? Because our CPAs are 10x more effective. All the grunt work is done by AI agents while humans provide expertise at the tail end, ensuring better client experience and higher accuracy! PS we are still taking on clients (yes, even in March!)

It's a good day when you get a dozen sign ups before the morning coffee ☕️

The definition of a bubble is asset prices rising with no relationship to their fundamentals. Multiple tranched financing rounds closed over the last few weeks where the second tranche is at a meaningfully higher valuation than the first. In most cases, the investors blend their capital and ownership, so it doesn’t affect them. The rationale is that the company can now issue larger equity dollar packages to compete for talent with OAI, Anthropic etc. Prospective hires should beware.

@_summation Congrats! Amazing product. 🔥🔥🔥

Today we’re launching Summation – the first Decision-Grade AI platform for leaders. Execs have dashboards, legacy planning tools, generic copilots… but none are built for the decisions that move billions.

@mcmiller00 Congrats @mcmiller00 🔥🔥🔥

Excited today to share more about what we have been building these last few months. A new venture capital firm from London with a global perspective. A community of 140 business partners, Legends, who help us source, win and build. Legends bring critical experience to exceptional founders which is a winning combination. We share up to 50% of our carry with these Legends as they work with our investments. Five exciting first investments to share with the world and so much more to come. linkedin.com/pulse/copy-wel…

@eglyman @tryramp @karimatiyeh Congrats!!🍾🎉

Big milestone for @tryramp: the cover of Fortune. Grateful for our customers, team, and everyone helping us build what’s next.

@Ben__Curley Love what you are building @Ben__Curley 🔥🔥🔥

To this day, I’ve never had a positive experience with therapy. I’ve never been able to connect with the therapist across the room or on the screen, and I’ve never felt understood as a professional or as a man. Now imagine you’re a first responder, whose job is to pull bodies out of car crashes, or to walk up to a vehicle with a pleasant demeanor but prepared for a confrontation, or to answer the phone on someone’s worst day with their family screaming in the background. The average therapist or coach cannot relate to those expectations and experiences. That’s why we built Sharp: a coaching platform where men and women in high-risk jobs can connect with coaches who get it. Coaches who’ve been through similar experiences and successfully navigated them, and who now serve as guides, mentors, and peers. That community and comradery is the missing piece, and Sharp is bringing to every first responder in America. Forward!🇺🇸🚀🫱

Sharp’s mission is simple: extend the careers and lives of public safety professionals through proactive, trusted coaching. Today, we’re proud to share that Sharp Performance has raised a $12M seed round led by @a16z to bring our platform to every first responder in America. 🧵

@ramtinnaimi @patrick_oshag @domcooke @joincolossus Congrats Ramtin! 🔥🔥🔥

We’ve been quietly building Abstract for 9 years. Thank you to @patrick_oshag and @domcooke @joincolossus for giving us the opportunity to share our story. We’re just getting started! joincolossus.com/article/ramtin…

@krisfredrickson @_IainMartin Congrats! You are going to crush it!

Some news - I raised $175M for Verified Capital with a plan to back transformative technology companies at any stage of their journey. Thanks to @_IainMartin for the writeup in Forbes. forbes.com/sites/iainmart…

We're excited to share that we are expanding the @A_StarVC team and looking for the next great investor! Apply using the below link👇👇 airtable.com/appsxc6fPVeWNG…

Hiring is more important than ever Yet, recruiting is largely unsolved and slow We raised our $20M Series A, led by @felicis to fix that And we're just getting started

Inspired by @ColeRotman, we looked at the seed rounds of all the AI Unicorns founded post transformer. Interestingly, none have come out of YC, and no one except a16z has led or co-led more than 2 seeds. ~20% of the founders pivoted to their current businesses.

@BennettSiegel Vibe investing!

We asked for a customer reference as the last step in our process before extending a TS to lead a seed round. Founder replied and said he was surprised because we were the first fund running actual due diligence instead of issuing vibes-based term sheets. Sign of the times!

I'm looking for my next Chief of Staff at A* to fill @navyagudimetla’s role. Hugely important role and a fantastic opportunity for any ambitious person looking to break into investing and company creation. DMs are open. Please apply using the airtable link below: airtable.com/appsxc6fPVeWNG…

🧠 Ever wonder what a tax pro would say about your return? We built Tax Insights to give you just that — smart, personalized feedback without the back-and-forth.

Amazing to see so many companies we partner with featured here @DecagonAI @krea_ai @mercor_ai @cartesia @tryramp @Flock_Safety @anduriltech @SpaceX enterprisetech30.com/list

Thrilled to share what we’ve been up to at @WithMultiply: mortgages as an employee benefit. We’re creating a new category of financial wellness benefits: discounted mortgage interest rates, expert advisor support, personal financial education – all at zero cost to the employer. There’s no greater driver of employee financial wellness than the largest purchase they’ll ever make. We’re announcing our Series A led by @mamoonha at @KleinerPerkins with participation from @A_StarVC, @BoxGroup, @MischiefVC, and a number of other great funds and angel investors. Thanks for all the support @gguptasf @kevinhartz @bennettsiegel @grosen @lfarleigh @gokulr @max @alexsongis @msquinn @sahilbloom @gwintrob @matthewschulman @jmelaskyriazi @nick_adler @nemodi and many more.
