Really excited to back @PillarHQ. Most commodities businesses should be hedged, but their risk management is still a largely manual, fragmented process.
Pillar is changing that by building an AI copilot for hedging. This is an invaluable (and previously inaccessible) service for traders, producers, and manufacturers that deliver the physical goods society depends on. Congrats Harsha and Chinmay!

The world is fragmenting. Supply chains are shifting. Volatility is no longer cyclical - it’s structural. Yet most businesses still manage risk on spreadsheets and phone calls. In a world of tariffs, wars, and supply shocks - that doesn't hold up. Markets move too fast. Today we’re publicly launching Pillar, and announcing an additional $20m in investment, led by @a16z. Pillar is an AI copilot for commodity and currency hedging - built for real world operators like you. We monitor your physical exposures and manage risk in real time - protecting your margins at all times. If you operate a physical business, let’s talk!

Congrats to Harsha, Chinmay, and the Pillar team! Automated risk management and commodities hedging for global businesses.
Proud to be a first believer, can’t think of a better team to tackle this problem.

Global trade is ~20x larger than software.
Yet most businesses still manage commodity + FX risk with spreadsheets, phone calls, and fragmented data.
This is exactly why @harshavramesh and @cdeshpande17 started Pillar.
Congrats on the launch @PillarHQ 🚀

Over the last decade, the electronification of commodity and FX markets has massively expanded what's possible - faster execution, more instruments, more data and more liquidity.
But that opportunity has been difficult to access for the businesses that need it most. They don’t have the resources or access to keep up.
That's the problem we're solving at Pillar. Not just better tools - but actual access to modern risk management for the physical business that are the backbone of society.
Proud to be building this alongside @harshavramesh

Suzanne was one of our first believers and an incredible mentor for founders. Pillar would not be where it is today without her. Cannot recommend working with her enough!

1/ my new manifesto
CAPITAL MARKETS MAXIMALISM
There’s a version of the American reindustrialization story that goes like this: China ate our manufacturing base. Supply chains proved fragile. Now we need to build again.
That story is true. But it’s incomplete.

Market is surging, although uncertainty arguably was just turned to 11

Expect commodities, especially consumption metals, to become even more volatile in the coming weeks/months as the escalating trade war continues to disrupt supply chains and create demand uncertainty.
