Thanks for helping introduce Abi and Andromeda 🤖 to the US @alexrkonrad ! We're excited to bring Abi's companionship to US assisted living communities and to continue building the emotional intelligence layer for 🤖.
Alex Konrad@alexrkonrad

Exclusive: in a sea of Terminator-looking bots, Aussie founder Grace Brown went in a very different direction in building her robot, Abi: color, bubbles, and fun. Now her startup, Andromeda Robotics, is launching Abi for senior homes across the U.S. upstartsmedia.com/p/abi-robot-fo…

I’m excited to share that we’ve raised a $70M Series B, led by @a16z and @ICONIQCapital - bringing our total funding to over $100M in under a year. Accounting is a $500B category, and yet most finance teams are still running on systems built in the 90s. @RilletHQ is rebuilding the financial core of modern companies. We’ve rebuilt the general ledger from the ground up to assemble the first AI-native ERP, built for speed, flexibility, and automation. Since coming out of stealth ~12 months ago, we’ve grown lightning fast. We now power the finance stack behind companies like @PostscriptIO, @windsurf, @DecagonAI, @bitwarden and many more across many industries. Windsurf scaled revenue 10x while running global finance with just two people and Rillet. Postscript, with over $100M in ARR and four entities, now closes their books in three days. These are the kinds of results we hold ourselves to. We’ve also partnered with some of the largest and best accounting firms in the country, including @Armanino_HQ, @wissllp and Attivo. The whole industry has been begging for change for decades. With Rillet, it’s here. This round came together very quickly. The first call happened while I was eating a tuna sandwich in SF (I did not finish it). Three days later, we had a signed term sheet. It was a reflection of the momentum we’re seeing both in the product and in the market. Since announcing our Series A just weeks ago, we’ve already doubled our ARR. None of this would be possible without our team of accountants and engineers. A few months ago, I was still jumping on support calls to help customers. Today, our implementation, success, and product teams are delivering outcomes with the same speed and care that got us here. We originally booked an offsite to celebrate the Series A. In classic Rillet speed fashion, it’s now an A + B celebration. It’s proof of how fast things can move when customers love the product and a reminder of how much this team has earned the chance to celebrate together. We’re fortunate to welcome @a16z and @ICONIQCapital to the table. @arampell, @seema_amble, @mandrusko1 and @slpierre, @skstebbins bring clarity, urgency and deep conviction about the future of AI and finance. We’re also grateful to have continued support from our early partners @sequoia, @firstround, @creandum who believed in us from the start, and excited about working with @oakhcft and @FogVentures. To the Rillet team, again - thank you for building with care, focus, and speed. To our customers - thank you for pushing us, trusting us, and helping shape the product. We are honored to serve you. Let’s go!

Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024

1 - Loyal has earned what we believe is the FDA’s first-ever formal acceptance that a drug can be developed + approved for lifespan extension 2 - We have 'technical section complete' AKA the 'does it work' data for LOY-001 - our large dog lifespan extension drug - is done

This is an absolutely infuriating look at America’s failure to design an immigration system that prioritizes ambitious, skilled, and educated people who could make enormous contributions to our society. Truly a must-read. washingtonpost.com/education/2023…
