The response to our Series A and our new CEO has been incredible. We’re honored to see the vision for a proactive team assistant resonate so deeply.

LFG - congrats @sergeisorokin and the incredible @tryhighlight team 💪🙌
The best is yet to come!

I spent 8 years scaling Discord and got burnt out cause modern work is broken. We’re overwhelmed with too much info across apps, teams, and agents. AI made it worse. We’re building the solve. I've joined @tryhighlight as CEO and we raised a $40M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures.

1/ Big news: Highlight has raised a $40M Series A, and I’m incredibly excited to announce that Sergei Sorokin is joining us as CEO. 🚀 This is a massive milestone for us, but more importantly, it’s the start of a much bigger chapter.

I've learned a lot from Sergei over the years. He's the best product thinker I've worked with, and under his leadership, Highlight is definitely a company to watch.

@sergeisorokin @tryhighlight @khoslaventures Makes my day! @sergeisorokin shared a look at @tryhighlight a few weeks ago. Tackles very real pain points, and built in a way that aligns with how I think about the problem!

I worked with Sergei for years at Discord — he was a relentless advocate for building an amazing company and product at Discord, we wouldn’t be where we are without him. Awesome to see Highlight’s launch today. Congrats!

we've been building Highlight for a while, today is launch day!
it's simple, it learns how your team works, then handles stuff that slows you down: meetings recorded, tickets drafted, Notion docs auto-updated
we've built the best AI memory engine I've used! DM me to try!

Excited to back @tryhighlight, @SergeiSorokin, and @PimDeWitte. While growing Discord, Sergei saw this problem up close: teams spend more time coordinating than creating. Highlight cuts the "coordination tax" so teams can focus on actually building. Congrats from @CollabFund and @AIResidency on the $40M Series A!

@vkhosla the real bottleneck is not AI capability. its the interface between humans and AI agents. teams that figure out how to give agents the right context win. the rest drown in hallucinations and broken automation.
English
We’re moving toward a world of abundance where AI handles the drudgery, freeing humans to do meaningful work. Highlight is building the interface for this transition. A great example of a team ignoring the skeptics to build what’s actually necessary.

When you think of Discord's growth story, the person you're thinking of is Sergei.

As frontier research accelerates, consumer skills and understanding how to get networked platforms off the ground becomes the next most valuable skill. @sergeisorokin will be taking over as CEO of Highlight, as they explore the frontiers of multiplayer AI use.
