"@wiz_io's journey is an extremely rare instance of the right people building the right product in the right market at the right time. When that happens, a team can achieve outlier results." 🚀 @nkkall wrote about the Wiz acquisition in a new blog post: salesforceventures.com/perspectives/b…

We saved our customers over $1.3 Billion in 2025 alone. That value has helped @Airwallex reach $1.2 Billion in ARR, growing 85% YoY. @Deel, @McLarenF1 , @boltapp and 200,000+ other customers trust us because legacy banking wasn't meant for global businesses: • Opening a bank account in a new country takes weeks • SWIFT transfers take 3-5 days • Other platforms convert your money even when you don't want to But with Airwallex you can: 1. Open an account and get paid like a local in 70 countries Most platforms force you to convert your money into your currency and charge you a conversion fee to do it. With Airwallex, your UK client pays you in GBP and it sits in your GBP balance. Your Australian client pays in AUD and it sits in your AUD balance. When you need to pay a UK vendor or run Australian payroll, you can simply pay from the same currency in your Airwallex account which leads to zero conversion fees. 2. Send and receive money on the same day SWIFT takes 3–5 days and hits you with unpredictable fees on every transfer. But over 90% of Airwallex transactions happen on the same day. Since Airwallex uses local rails to move your money, it also happens at near-zero cost. 3. Issue multi-currency cards instantly Airwallex helps you issue multi-currency cards to your employees across the entire world. And every transaction is automatically synced to your accounting system in real-time. 4. Integrate Airwallex in your product SaaS platforms and marketplaces can also use our APIs to offer these financial services to their customers. In fact, many companies are doing it already. But this is just a glimpse of what Airwallex can do. We’re building the all-in-one financial stack your company will ever need. If you're doing $50M+ in revenue, you could save up to $500k in fees. And that's money back into your business. Sign up for a demo here: airwallex.com/offer/airwalle…

Today is a day I’ll never forget. I grew up in Cupertino. My dad was a tech founder in the 80s/90s. I was in YC S07. LiveKit is my 5th company. The first 4 didn’t work out. I’ve had a lot of advantages — it still took 20 years to get here. Founders: keep taking shots.

We learn to speak before we learn to read. Voice is the most natural interface we have. We just raised a $100M to make building voice AI as easy as a web app.

We’ve invested in @livekit 🚀 The next generation of AI doesn’t just read and write — it sees, hears, speaks, & acts in real time. LiveKit is building the nervous system for multimodal AI, enabling devs to build and operate real-time agents at scale. salesforceventures.com/perspectives/w…

This is a big deal. Most of the voice AI community says that speech-to-speech models aren’t ready for production use cases. Two reasons: 1. Reliability (more hallucinations) 2. Cost (s2s models are expensive) On (1), Grok’s Voice Agent API is already running at large scale across Grok’s apps, in Tesla vehicles, and in call centers. There’s more work to do, of course, but progress is being made quickly. On (2), you get SOTA performance for $0.05/minute, which meets or beats aggregate cascade model (STT+LLM+TTS) pricing. Excited to partner with @xai on this launch — you can build a custom Grok Voice Agent with workflows, tool calling, the whole shebang, in a few lines of @livekit code. The future of speech-to-speech is bright!
xAI@xai

Today, we're excited to launch the Grok Voice Agent API, empowering developers to build voice agents that speak dozens of languages, call tools, and search realtime data. x.ai/news/grok-voic…

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

When @sama told me at the AI summit in Paris that they were serious about releasing open-source models & asked what would be useful, I couldn’t believe it. But six months of collaboration later, here it is: Welcome to OSS-GPT on @huggingface! It comes in two sizes, for both maximum reasoning capabilities & on-device, cheaper, faster option, all apache 2.0. It’s integrated with our inference partners that power the official demo. This open-source release is critically important & timely, because as @WhiteHouse emphasized in the US Action plan, we need stronger American open-source AI foundations. And who could do that better than the very startup that has been pioneering and leading the field in so many ways. Feels like a plot twist. Feels like a comeback. Feels like the beginning of something big, let’s go open-source AI 🔥🔥🔥
