Bolto is a single platform that provides AI-native recruiting, HR and payroll in the same product, from YC S23. I just posted an interview with @mrinalsingh02 and @jakeatbolto, the founders of @boltohq, about their recent $ 12M Series A from @Standard_Cap. Link below

Archil is rapidly becoming the most flexible and versatile way for agents and services to work with file data. The addition of a first-class, strongly-consistent S3 API just makes that better. Internally, we're finding it super useful to share large files that our agents are working on in Slack, without needing to spin up a server to access the data. Let us know what else we need!
Archil@archildata

Introducing the Archil S3 API. This API makes it simple for users to get fully-consistent access to their data from both a file system (for agents) and an S3 API (for existing applications or users). With this launch, you can now easily view Archil files in the console and share them between coworkers or hand them off to Claude, even while they're being generated in the cloud. The Archil S3 API is available to all Archil file systems today.

@kushbhuwalka For post PMF startups it’s worth thinking about, not intended to be instructions on what to spend all of your time worrying about

"what stops a future AI from cloning your product and selling it at a lower margin" - question on @Standard_Cap. valid but i do think optimizing for this might make for the midwit meme, with the extremes being to just build something useful. i reckon theres plenty of value to be accrued by 'clonable' software before AI really starts to eat, and that you can figure out moats as you go along. i could be very wrong about this though.

As part of leading the Series A for @archildata, I sat down with the founder/CEO @jhleath We discuss: - What exactly Archil is, and why anyone building agents should evaluate it - Why LLMs understand filesystems better than pretty much any other technology - Hunter's 10 year career at AWS working on filesystems - A case study of how Clay is using Archil - What it was like raising a Series A from Standard Capital and more!

delighted to sit down with Dalton to share more about Archil's past, present, and future! it's kind of funny that the AI agent space is moving *so quickly* that even this video that we recorded (just a few weeks ago!) doesn't capture a lot of the updates that have recently happened -- such as Archil's Serverless execution. super excited for what's to come next, and thrilled to partner with @Standard_Cap on it. interested startups can try Archil for free by signing up via @StandardDB

We led the @BoltoHQ Series A. Bringing recruiting, compliance and payroll into a single product is inevitable. In addition, the prior playbook to scale this sort of company would have been oriented around scaling headcount/blitzscaling, and we believe now is the right time for an AI-native approach. The opportunity is massive.
Mern Singh@mrinalsingh02

We raised $12M led by @standard_cap with participation from @ycombinator, @generalcatalyst, and others. @BoltoHQ is the first AI-native, proactive HR platform that lets teams find talent, run payroll, and manage compliance globally, all in one place.

I’m lucky to have worked closely with Archil, and this captures why. @jhleath is the best expert on file systems I have ever met and he's now building the FS that agents need 🚀
Hunter Leath@jhleath

The unexpected side of venture is that it grows your ambitions in a way that you don't expect. When I first started @archildata, I was hoping that organizations could use it to build a lower-cost way to run applications like Wordpress or genomic sequencing. This is pretty far from where we've landed! There are two cataclysmic changes coming to how we think about infrastructure over the next few years. First, the next wave of applications are *stateful* in way that tools like Kubernetes don't solve for. Secondly, the models that are going to underpin these applications overwhelmingly prefer to use the file system as the transactional system of record. This means that the world is in desperate need for a file system that provides a first-class developer (and agent!) experience to solve for these applications. If you look at what's available, though, XFS was released in 1994 and ZFS was released in 2005. These aren't going to be the right tools! People who don't work in file systems continue to operate under the assumption that these systems from the turn of the millennium are the best that we will ever get, and that's just not the case. I'm just *so* excited for what's to come with Archil, and we've only just started to lift the veil with releases like Serverless execution this week. Thank you to @Standard_Cap and our existing investors for their support and conviction to make this vision a reality. You can get an Archil disk today by running `npx disk create` and it's the worst version of the product that will ever exist. Onward!

Of the thousands of founders I have met over the years, @jhleath stands out as the deepest expert in filesystems. Hunter is also strongly opinionated about how cloud filesystems can be improved, and has a specific vision of how and why filesystems are the best storage primitive for agents. We are proud to lead the Series A in Archil, and I encourage you to take a look at the technical writing Hunter has been putting out.
Archil@archildata

Today, we're announcing our $11M Series A raise, led by @Standard_Cap in order to build the layer that connects AI to its data. The next generation of agentic applications are inherently stateful in a way that existing primitives don't solve for. Archil solves this for agents by giving them an infinite, high-performance file system that they can use to directly run bash and Linux programs.
