Congrats @willahmed and the @whoop
team. It's been amazing to witness this company's progress from humble beginnings. More than most companies of such scale, it truly always feels like day 1 at Whoop. Very excited for the journey ahead as you push further into preventative health.

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

@AnthropicAI made Claude 2.5x faster this weekend. Six million people saw the announcement. But speed was never the real bottleneck.
The thing limiting what most people get from AI agents is not capability — it is how much access they have actually granted.

5/ More reflections and details here:

4/ Lesson #2: Don’t just listen to customers. Rather, deeply understand their businesses. That’s how Hatch moved quickly (especially post-ChatGPT) and built what customers truly needed.

5/ The takeaway:
MBA programs excel at creating entrepreneurial intent.
Without clearer paths to building, technical talent, incentives, or new models, many student MBA founders hit friction fast.

English
4/ Even when technical students exist, incentives misalign. Many are pivoting out of engineering or focused on their own startups. Founders who succeed treat the company as a real post-MBA job—and some now question whether a technical cofounder is always necessary early on.
English
1/ 85% of MBA students start school wanting to be entrepreneurs.
Business schools have leaned all the way in—labs, pitch comps, EIRs, incubators.
But there’s a quieter question underneath it all:
who actually builds the companies' products?

For 40 years the file browser hasn’t changed.
Today, we’re launching with $8 million in seed funding to rebuild the file browser into something more intelligent, searchable, and delightful.
The world is in the middle of a data explosion. We’re generating and using more files than ever, but the apps we’re using to manage our files don’t even understand them.
It’s time for file browsers to become useful. When you search for “dog”, it should show you content with dogs in it, not just files with “dog” in the name! When you want to edit, convert, summarize, or organize a file, your browser should do that, too.
Your files tell the story of your life, but when you need a specific one, you usually can’t even find it anymore. Why can’t your file browser find it for you, or cross-reference it when you have a question? Prompting can give an LLM a million tokens of context. With Poly, you can give it the next trillion.
As long as we can afford it, all new users receive 100GB of free cloud storage. We can’t wait for you to try it out!

I wrote more about why we’re so excited at @NextViewVC: nextview.vc/blog/announcin…

For Gen AI–native creators and knowledge workers, Poly feels like the future of interacting with your own content... faster, more intuitive, and actually delightful.
English
At @NextViewVC , we invest in truly product-centric companies transforming the Everyday Economy, like @browsercompany and @withbeside.
Poly fits squarely in that lineage.
English
We all use a file browser every day… and yet almost no one likes it. Poly is changing that by rebuilding the experience from the ground up.
English
Excited to finally share more about one of our portfolio companies: @polydotapp (withpoly.com) — an intelligent cloud file browser redefining how we navigate computing in the generative age.
English
After two years in stealth, Poly, founded by @Denizen_Kane, is emerging publicly with a beautifully reimagined take on one of computing’s most overlooked but pervasive tools: the file browser.
