@bondappofficial Congratulations!! This is so exciting!!

Introducing Bond - the world's first social network built on memories and powered by AI. Bond allows you to easily capture your memories and turn them into new discoveries. Download Bond on iOS today: apps.apple.com/us/app/bond-co…

A lot of other companies want you to speculate. At Lava, we want you to save. We made a mini-doc about our mission, what we’re building, and the people who make it possible. Check it out below.

Science is too slow. At Edison, we are integrating AI Scientists into the full stack of research, from basic discovery to clinical trials. We want cures for all diseases by mid-century. We have raised a $70M seed to get started. Join us. We need cracked software engineers who want to work on finding cures rather than selling ads and generating slop. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a candidate. We need brilliant AI researchers who want to figure out how AI will accelerate real-world science. We need scientists and researchers with deep expertise in biology, biotech, and pharma who want to figure out how to integrate AI deeply into scientific workflows, from ideation to experimentation, and how to measure success or failure. We need extraordinarily talented generalist operators across BD, sales, product management, and partnerships who can focus on getting our tools into the hands of pharmaceutical companies. If any of these roles sound like you, get in touch. We are also expanding access to our platform. Our goal is to accelerate science writ large. To that end, we will continue to give academics and students 650 credits/mo indefinitely. I can’t promise we’ll keep this up forever, but we will try. Kosmos will still cost 200 credits, and the other agents (Analysis, Literature, etc.) will cost 1 or 2 credits. All paid users will have access to our regular agents, like our Analysis agent, Literature agent, and so on, for free via the UI. API access will still be paid, and users without a paid subscription will continue to get 10 credits per month for those agents. Our $200/mo subscription for 650 credits/mo is staying in place for now, but might be phased out at our next major product update. Along the lines of accelerating science, we’re also doing a major release of PaperQA today, our flagship open source literature agent, as part of our commitment to open science. In the short run, expect major improvements to Kosmos, including the ability to automatically access data, the ability to steer its exploration, and the ability to converse directly with its world model. In the long run, expect exponentially increasing rates of scientific discoveries, in biology and elsewhere. Our round is led by Triatomic Capital, Spark Capital, and a major US institutional biotech investor. We are also joined in this round by existing investors Pillar VC and Susa Ventures, two exceptional early-stage funds who backed us at founding, along with Striker Venture Partners, Hawktail VC, Olive VC, and a host of exceptional angels that includes famous AI researchers, the CEOs of multiple frontier AI labs, and leadership of major biotech and pharma companies.

Starting today, you can earn even higher yield on your cash held on Lava. With the Lava savings account, you can now earn 6.5% APY on your USD. Rates on traditional savings accounts have been ticking down. Ours just increased.

I'm a product-obsessed founder. Crafting a delightful product experience is my north star. Few companies embody that level of craft like @NotionHQ — and today I'm incredibly proud to share with the world our latest case study. @NotionHQ now secures 100s of datastores with Formal. I’m deeply grateful to the Notion security team for betting on us when we were still an early-stage company. We’ve learned so much along the way, and working with them has truly made our product better. @joinformal ❤️ @NotionHQ

@AHMB84 @NotionHQ Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

@sama Thanks!! Anyone who is interested can try Kosmos for themselves here: platform.edisonscientific.com All possible in large part due to the amazing work you guys have been doing at OpenAI. Keep it up, and the next few years are going to be awesome.

Today is the biggest day in Lava’s history. We’ve raised $200M, our bitcoin-backed line of credit is live globally, and we’re now offering the lowest fixed interest rates in the industry. Access dollars instantly without selling your bitcoin — at JUST 5%.

Lava is introducing the world’s first bitcoin-backed line of credit. No monthly payments. Open terms. The lowest fixed interest rates in the industry. It’s the most flexible, simple, and secure way to access dollars instantly without selling your bitcoin.

We just shipped the biggest product update since I started Lava. And we announced a $17.5M strategic raise. Now on Lava, anyone can earn 7.5% on USD. Instant deposits and withdrawals. Secured by bitcoin. It's the new, best risk-adjusted return on USD.

@MarediaShehzan Congratulations!! This is awesome!!

@andrei_serban @ThriveCapital @scale_AI @tryramp @webflow Congratulations!! This is awesome!!

All companies run on IT. But almost all IT teams are underwater. The ones that aren't run on Console. Console raised a $23M Series A led by DST Global Partners and @ThriveCapital to help leading companies like @scale_ai, @tryramp, and @webflow automate 50%+ of their tickets.

Software development is more than just coding. Introducing Droids -- the world's first software development agents. 🤖 Starting today, Droids are available for general access. Factory integrates with your entire engineering system (GitHub, Slack, Linear, Notion, Sentry) and serves that context to your Droids as they autonomously build production-ready software. Factory is the first platform that allows you to work with agents: local + synchronous and remote + asynchronous.

@FactoryAI I’m so proud of the Factory team! It’s been such a privilege to get to know them over the past year!! Factory to the moon!!!

@AHMB84 @joinformal @ThriveCapital @ycombinator @AbstractVC @jgreze @ceo_clickhouse @stanine @tidocarriero @Gorintic Congratulations!! I’m so excited for you!! Formal to the moon!!!

Today, I am excited to share that @joinformal has raised $6.8M in funding led by @ThriveCapital, with participation from @ycombinator , @AbstractVC , and industry leaders such as @jgreze, Alexis Lê-Quôc, @ceo_clickhouse, @stanine, @tidocarriero, @mathile_collin, @Gorintic, @grittygrease, @itsRobPicard and many more. From writing the first few lines of code in my bedroom two years ago to earning the trust of tech companies I admire—like @NotionHQ, @tryramp, and @GustoHQ journey has been both surreal and humbling. This isn't just a financial milestone; it’s a recognition of the customers who trust Formal to protect their most sensitive data. We’re tackling one of the industry’s most complex challenges: securing data everywhere in an organization—from the endpoint to the cloud. Over the last decade, we’ve seen an explosion of SaaS applications and a surge in the complexity of the data stack, driven by rapid cloud adoption. While this shift has boosted business productivity, it has also made tracking data flows and enforcing granular, context-aware least-privilege policies far more challenging. As a result, organizations face greater exposure to over-privileged access and data oversharing, leading to massive breaches. Formal is here to change that. Acting like an interface in your favorite programming language, Formal serves as an abstraction layer that brings visibility and control to data flows—all in one place: the network. With Formal, security teams can create policies in a single place and enforce them across their entire data stack and SaaS applications. If you’re looking to make your data more secure and enable least-privilege on autopilot in your organization, book a demo here: joinformal.com/demo-request/. This is just the beginning—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited about our mission and want to join a small, talent-dense team, we’re hiring across GTM and engineering in our SF and Paris offices.

@mansourtarek_ Congratulations!! I know how hard you worked for this!! I’m so happy for you!!!

Kalshi just legalized trading on elections in the U.S. For the first time in 100 years, Americans will have access to legal election markets at scale. Historic moment for financial markets.

@kennandavison Incredible!! Congratulations!!!

dApps do not have the data they need to grow sustainably. to offset this, they rely on airdrops and points programs to attract users. the result? low-impact communities who use the product for the wrong reasons. Camp is the world’s first identity layer, aggregating Web2 social data onchain. with our modular identity layer, users can own and monetize their data, and dapps can build UXs that truly resonate with their target demographic.
