Excited to announce this milestone.
We are deploying long-horizon agents at scale that can do real work in the real economy. Our agents can already operate reliably for hours at a time and I expect that to be days by the end of the year.
We can barely keep up with demand. If you want to come join and work at the frontier for the most intense, fast-paced couple years of your life, send me a note.
Basis@trybasis
We've raised $100m at a $1.15b valuation from @Accel, @GVteam, and existing investors to accelerate deployment of the most capable and accurate accounting agents across CAS, tax, audit, and advisory. Basis is used by 30% of the Top 25 accounting firms and dozens more across the Top 150. Today we're announcing the first accounting agent to complete a business tax workbook end-to-end. Our focus on production-grade, long-horizon agents means that 12 months from now, the work Basis handles will make even this look routine. We're looking for a few very intense people who want to build at the frontier.

Congrats to @InScopehq on their $14.5M Series A led by @NorwestVP w/ participation from @stormventures, @lightspeedvp, and us @btv_vc!
We led InScope's pre-seed and have doubled down at every round since. The original thesis was clear: financial reporting is expensive, manual, and painful. Companies spend $30B+ annually on audits and the profession has lost 300K accountants in two years. Mary and Kelsey built a rules engine to automate GAAP-compliant financial statements and audit-ready docs.
Since then, deeply integrating AI has fundamentally expanded what's possible, going from automating specific outputs to tackling the full spectrum of manual work that bogs accountants down.
The results: 5x customer growth in 12 months, working with major firms like CohnReznick, a top 15 national accounting firm, and saving accountants 20%+ of their time.
Just getting started. Let's go!!

Revenue automation software has a credibility problem.
Numbers appear in dashboards. And accountants are told to just trust them.
Our team at @usemonk took a different approach. We set out to make every number traceable and defensible.

When @nbobba writes, you read. It is very simple.
This is an excellent piece on the realities of the operating environment today (all thanks to AI)

AI Native Systems Are The New Default In 2023, the discourse centered around whether incumbents had the advantage with AI thanks to existing distribution or the startups had the advantage thanks to speed and agility. In 2024/25, the discourse seemed to navigate towards the increased competition amongst seemingly alike startups with me-too products all vying for attention via branding and loud PR. I think both miss the point. AI is not a feature that gets bolted onto a product and therefore the argument in favor of existent distribution does not typically hold true. Similarly, consumption, application and leverage of AI is not consistent across teams which means that no two startups, even with a superficially identical feature set, are ever the same. AI is a new system of operating and because of it, the table stakes for startups and incumbents to compete have increased tenfold. More of our observations @btv_vc on how some of our own portfolio companies have adapted themselves into AI-native operating environments. better-tomorrow-ventures.ghost.io/ai-native-syst…

@jbahrdestefano You should rent the runway and complete the trifecta?

An obvious yet important learning for me (maybe more of a crystallization)
Find the shit you love doing + lights you up (it's different for everyone + learned via trial & experimentation)
And do it as frequently as possible (daily if possible)

$3 Trillion is currently stuck in unpaid invoices.
An average invoice takes 59 days to clear.
If you're doing >$10M in revenue, getting paid in 30 days instead of 59 days will literally make you millions over 2 years.
Introducing Monk. It collects your money faster and pays for

Excited to announce @btv_vc investment in @usemonk where we led their $4M seed earlier this year. Founders, @GeorgeKurdin and Joe are building the complete agentic stack for the ~$3T outstanding accounts receivable (AR) problem. In the 6 months since investing they’ve already landed high growth upstarts such as @tryprofound and Elevenlabs.
AI promises outcomes instead of workflows. But what happens when deterministic workflows have subjectivity wrapped around them? At BTV, we think Accounts Receivable and Revenue Operations teams face the brunt of this. Any outstanding payment falls on a spectrum of objective resolution on one end and subjective resolution on the other.
In the near term, it is relatively straightforward to assume AI and automation will address the objective end of the spectrum, the more interesting and of course harder challenge is in utilizing agents to navigate the subjective end too. Context, tone, personality and of course, judgement matter.
Monk understands and is energized by the scale and technical complexity of this opportunity. And when solved, expects to be the agentic rails upon which businesses can 10x payment cycles and cash flow.
If this excites you, Monk is hiring for roles in New York!
And great to partner with @danonanthony at ReRail and @gtmfund
