9fin have hit 100% ARR growth multiple years running - and their US expansion is moving even faster It's a blueprint for transatlantic scaling, and one we're proud to have supported from day one 🤝

9 years ago, we wrote a first cheque for two ex-bankers fed up with the state of the archaic technology that they were forced to use. Today, that company is a unicorn. Congrats to @9finHQ on closing a $170M Series C, valuing 9fin at $1.3 billion 🎉

One of Europe's most cracked hackers has just raised $6m from @20vcFund and @seedcamp. This guy had earned 800k by the age of 23 by legally hacking the likes of Google, Amazon and Netflix. He was also named Most Valuable Hacker at TWO of Google's Live Hacking Events. Today he (Roni Carta - @0xLupin) has announced a $5.9m pre-seed. It's being led by @alexandre_dewez of 20VC and Carlos Espinal (@cee) of Seedcamp. Europe continues to produce world class talent. It's great to see them get funded and build world class products. LETS GO

Investor @tom_wils: "This is a rare team that combines deep microbiology, machine learning, and company-building experience." "Jenny, Alex, and the founding team have both the scientific rigour and operational insight required to build a new layer of biological infrastructure."

Human microbiology impacts every intervention made to the human body… yet it’s notoriously poorly understood. Outpost Bio are on a mission to change this. We’re so proud to lead their $3.5M pre-seed round, along with our friends at @MerantixCapital.

🇬🇧Tattvam AI has closed a $1.7M pre-seed round funding. techfundingnews.com/tattvam-ai-fun… @seedcamp, @EWOR_official, Entropy Industrial Capital, @ConceptVentures, and semiconductor legend Stan Boland invested. #ai #aichip #investment #innovation #vcfunding #funding #artificialintelligence #startups #uktech #londontech #femalefounders #womenintech

Investor @_billiambennett : "We couldn't be more excited to be on this journey with Bragadeesh and Lannan." "The Tattvam team has world class engineering pedigree, proven hustle among the heavyweights of the silicon industry and now, the beginnings of a world class product."

Bragadeesh and Lannan are truly exceptional founders, combining an entrepreneurial spirit with deep domain expertise, hailing from the technical teams at @CoMind_, @fractile_ai and @ADI_News. Bragadeesh even turned down an offer from Google's TPU team to build Tattvam AI.

Custom chip design powers everything from your phone to the data centres training AI. It's also one of the most expensive and time-consuming processes on the planet -$80bn in annual R&D. - Months of painstaking manual work. - One late mistake and you're back to square one.

The teams that go the distance do the opposite. They challenge each other, hold each other to high standards, and when they make mistakes, they learn fast and keep on moving. That ability to constantly reiterate is one of the strongest signals of future success.

His take? It all comes down to team dynamics. The teams that struggle often fall prey to interpersonal problems: avoiding conflict, or failing to communicate.

We're often asked how we can tell when an early stage company has the potential to be the next unicorn or decacorn. At this year's @Techarenan, @cee revealed the early signals that separate good teams from great teams - and why he knew @Revolut had it from the start.

We've backed @synthesiaIO since 2017. Back then, @vriparbelli was clear-eyed about where video was heading long before the rest of the world caught up. Reading this piece, it's striking how much his vision has already come to pass.
