After two years of building under wraps, today we're announcing Casa – your personal property manager. We've raised $27M to redefine the homeownership experience from the ground up.
We believe your home is your most treasured asset, emotionally & financially. It shouldn't also be a second job.
Most homeowners are on their own – expected to have the time, expertise, and relationships to keep things running. Finding a plumber you can trust. Remembering when the HVAC was last serviced. Knowing what's actually wrong before someone shows up to fix it.
Casa gives every homeowner what used to be reserved for the few: a dedicated team that knows your home deeply, handles the work, and stays in your corner. We're enabling this by building a deep, technical understanding of every home we serve – something that's never existed before, across 100 million single-family homes in the country.
For $199/mo, membership includes:
- A complete inventory of your home, built using specialized hardware & software
- 1.5 hours of handyman time every month (and it rolls over)
- Unlimited Concierge requests to take on virtually any home project
- Custom, proactive care plans built specifically for your home
- Weekly package and donation pickups
- Scheduling and payments for your regular vendors
- Utility and property tax monitoring
…and we’re just getting started, with more benefits on the way to make the experience of owning your home as magical as it always should have been.
Available now in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles. Reserve your spot everywhere else.

Big Day for Create:
- $20M investment round from Alliance Consumer Growth (ACG), Mike Repole (vitaminwater, BODYAMOR), and existing investor Unilever Ventures.
- The round closed in August 2025. We've more than doubled revenue since, are run rating well above $100M, and have been profitable for nearly a year. We are continuing to grow aggressively across all channels.
- Creatine + Electrolytes Launch: Listen, I am not going to sit here claiming that this is some major scientific breakthrough. People have been mixing creatine and electrolytes for about 30 years...and for good reason. They just work better together. But for whatever reason, no brand had really gone after this opportunity in a big, coherent way. Create is going after it. 5g of creatine monohydrate, 500mg of sodium, 250mg potassium, 50mg magnesium, 1000mg of taurine. Launching in 3 flavors (available in a variety pack) today and now available on our website and Amazon...and at all Targets nationwide in mid-April.
I have personally been taking 2-4 of these per day. Passionfruit is my favorite flavor, but think we did a strong job on all of the flavors. Variety Pack should help you identify your daily driver.
Bunch of other things we'll be sharing soon (brand refresh, new packaging form factors Target expansion, team growth, etc.) More to come...

@JoshuaKushner Huge. Congrats to you and the Thrive team and ecosystem. So cool to see long game commitment in action.
English

We are pleased to announce the close of Thrive X. Exceeding $10 billion, Thrive X comprises $1 billion designated for early-stage investments and $9 billion designated for growth-stage investments. We do not view this as a milestone, but as a commitment to the long work ahead.
We view Thrive as a company. Our product is partnership - the willingness to commit deeply to a small number of founders, and to stand with them through momentum and adversity. This is the discipline we bring to our work, and the responsibility we accept when founders partner with Thrive.
We do not hedge. Concentration demands loyalty to the founders and missions we back. In this moment, exposure alone is not a strategy. Judgment without commitment is not enough. Advantage will accrue to those who choose deliberately, commit deeply, and endure through difficult moments.
Thrive was founded to be an enabling technology for the world we want to see. We are deeply aware that we are not the main character. The founders that we are fortunate enough to partner with are the artists. Our role is to help create the conditions where great work can come to life.
We take a long view grounded in the belief that category-defining companies tend to create structural compounding advantages over long arcs. This fund reflects the continuity of our approach and the ways our work has deepened alongside the founders we support.
We are grateful for the trust our Limited Partners place in us, and for the opportunity to work alongside those who are building with purpose, integrity, and courage.

We now have FDA approval for vagus-nerve stimulation in rheumatoid arthritis, with other preclnical and clinical trials showing effects in IBD, MS, metabolic syndrome, epilepsy, depression, hemorrhage, and other conditions. That's an extraordinary arc from a basic science observation to medical usefulness.

@patrick_oshag Mind melting outcomes - and what they have done is singular in the relevant categories. Growing up in the F&B, Franchising, and Foodservice industries while they were in a peak M&A season provided so much context and learning. Very cool to have such a rare deep dive here.

Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz have almost never spoken publicly about how 3G Capital invests and operates.
The firm is different in many fascinating ways. Every fund they raise is designed to make exactly one investment. They invest more of their own money than any of their limited partners in every deal and send their own people to run the businesses as CEOs and CFOs. Over 20 years they have never lost money on a deal.
The conversation includes the story of how they spent 15 years building a relationship with the founding family of Hunter Douglas before getting the opportunity to buy it. They describe receiving a two line rejection email from Tim Hortons after weeks of silence and how they managed to get back to the table and close the deal. They talk about how they bought Burger King for a billion dollars when no other firm showed up to compete. And they explain why Skechers being the third largest sneaker company in the world surprised even them.
A major theme is how they develop talent. Daniel was an analyst who became CFO at 26 and CEO of Burger King at 32. Alex became CEO of the largest railroad in Latin America when he was 30. They explain what they look for in young people, why they give them significant responsibility faster than anywhere else, and what it takes to set them up to succeed while holding an unusually high bar.
Daniel and Alex are two of the most talented and intense people I know. They are incredibly serious about business quality and disciplined about waiting for the right opportunity. They would rather do nothing than compromise.
Enjoy!

@bhalligan @bryan_johnson @grok The citrus bioflavenoids are a powerhouse ingredient in the formula - in how it affects flavor and nutrient bioavailability - wish the peel was easy to eat -- but it's not - so good to get it in your AG1.

It's a combination of a few things...
The pineapple and carrot powders, apple fiber, and interestingly the citrus bioflavenoids - they are great enablers to the vitamin C but they also bring a bright element that amplifies fruit forward notes and a light touch of really high quality whole leaf stevia.
There's also blending IP/a special way we mix that brings out just a light level of sweetness relative to the other notes more associated with veg/green.
Some people say it's no where near sweet enough, others too sweet. Palates are so subjective and varied, so we work hard to strike a good balance without added sugars, juices, etc.

I’d cancel your AG1 subscription. They just completed a clinical trial and the results show no clinical benefit.
This has been obvious for years. AG1 has no real product substance and is fundamentally an influencer heist.
Two simple alternatives (75% and 56% less $), outperform AG1 in randomized clinical trials.
Two simple mono-ingredient alternatives that outperform AG1:
1. Chicory inulin 12 g daily ($20/mo)
2. Resistant starch 30 g daily for 12 weeks ($35/mo)
AG1 is not worth $79/mo.
AG1 study results (4-weeks, N=30):
+ No significant changes in blood biomarkers compared to placebo (CBC, CMP, lipids).
+ No statistically significant improvement in digestive quality-of-life scores (p = 0.058).
+ No significant metabolic or inflammatory biomarker benefits of any kind within the scope of what was measured in the trial.
+ Only small shifts in microbiome taxa but clinically irrelevant at this stage.
+ The intervention did not increase microbiome diversity compared to placebo. Alpha diversity was unchanged, and the taxa changes seen were only from pre- to post-analysis within each group. Between-group differences were limited, and the placebo actually showed similar or even potentially larger shifts. This means the observed changes fall within normal placebo-driven variability, not a real treatment effect. No global microbiota shifts were detected.
Chicory inulin 12 g in constipation patients
+ 12 g of chicory inulin daily for 4 weeks (compared to maltodextrin placebo)
+ Global microbiota shifts: enrichment in butyrate-producing Bifidobacterium and Anaerostipes, and depletion of the pro-inflammatory Bilophila.
+The effect was seen by comparing intervention vs placebo in a cross-over setting, a very rigorous type of clinical analysis in which each person serves as their own control, eliminating a lot of individual random noise.
+ The trial also met its primary objective by improving constipation symptoms in the targeted patient group.
Resistant starch daily 30g for 12 weeks in older adults
+ Significant increase in Bifidobacterium in both middle-aged and elderly participants, with an increase in the beneficial microbiome byproduct butyrate, and reductions in Proteobacteria (including inflammatory Escherichia–Shigella) in the elderly.
+ Resistant starch also significantly reduced blood glucose, and produced greater reductions in blood insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in the elderly group.
