Inspired Capital

We are thrilled to announce Inspired III, a $330M fund dedicated to backing founders solving the hardest challenges facing humanity. Let’s build an Inspired Future together: inspiredcapital.com

@timlup @deeptuneai @a16z Such an incredible milestone! Let's go @deeptuneai !

Excited to announce @deeptuneai has raised $43M Series A led by @a16z. Labs and enterprises must turn model capability into real-world performance. Doing so will require distilling the entire economy into environments for AI. We believe this to be the most critical work in the pursuit of AGI. We’re a small, focused team of engineers and operators in New York. If you want to work on the hardest (and weirdest) problems of your career, we would love to hear from you.

Congrats @timlup and the @deeptuneai team on their $43M Series A! Since meeting Tim in 2023, we've watched them build something essential for the next wave of AI: training gyms where AI agents learn to do real work. As frontier labs race to build agents that can operate software like Slack, Salesforce, and beyond, Deeptune provides the simulation environments, datasets, and infrastructure those models need to actually get better. We're excited to continue backing Deeptune in this round led by Andreessen Horowitz alongside 776, Abstract Ventures, and an incredible group of angels.

The U.S. healthcare system was built for providers and payers. Consumers are rebuilding it for themselves. A decade ago, your only option was to call your doctor and wait. Today, you can track your biomarkers, order same-day lab tests, and get an AI second opinion before ever stepping into a clinic — all outside the traditional system. This is a structural shift, and it's accelerating faster than most realize. We’ve backed companies like @solacehealth_ , @sheer_health, Frontera, Nirvana, and @PaytientApp because we believe the biggest opportunities in healthcare are being built around the consumer, not the system.

We have long believed the future of work has to reflect how people actually live. Parents do not leave their lives at the office door. When they feel supported at home, they show up differently at work. Proud to back @GoodInside as they bring evidence-based parenting support directly into organizations. If you are a People or HR leader thinking about how to better support working parents, this is worth exploring! goodinside.com/employer/
