The internet is the greatest dataset ever created. Today, we're launching the Riveter Dataset Builder to make it possible for anyone to get custom, fresh data from a prompt.

Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons. When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading: 1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand. 2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster. Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined. Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO. To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing. Reply with 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 for free access to one of our most popular agents. No account required and no strings attached.

Here's a new nextgen stat for all pro sports owners. It's called the #GaseRatio and is calculated as follows. Take your team's winning percentage and subtract @Modells current discount on its merch. If the result is < 0, congratulations, fire your coach

Standing between a man in a suit and a man in jeans really hammers home how ridiculous it is that baseball managers still wear goofy stretch pants like they might need to slide into second at a moment's notice

Sure playing in a world series game 7 is stressful, but compare that to turning around in the celebratory scrum on the mound after winning and realizing "oh no nobody wants to hug me"

@PaulsMcGee Oh yeah well that's definitely a possibility I guess

So I guess the lesson here is wait until after the 8th inning of game 7 before gloating about trading for a notorious domestic abuser? Y'know just in case he sucks at pitching too?
