The world is fragmenting. Supply chains are shifting. Volatility is no longer cyclical - it’s structural. Yet most businesses still manage risk on spreadsheets and phone calls. In a world of tariffs, wars, and supply shocks - that doesn't hold up. Markets move too fast. Today we’re publicly launching Pillar, and announcing an additional $20m in investment, led by @a16z. Pillar is an AI copilot for commodity and currency hedging - built for real world operators like you. We monitor your physical exposures and manage risk in real time - protecting your margins at all times. If you operate a physical business, let’s talk!

@suzannexie Congrats Suzanne !!

Excited to share that I’ve joined OpenAI to help build the future of financial intelligence. My focus is connecting models directly to the data sources, tools, and workflows analysts use every day. My team’s first product is the Excel plugin. After software engineering, finance will see the benefits of model improvements more acutely than almost any other field. This is just the start for us! More to come soon!

@jakeottiger congrats jake!!

last friday was my final day at Thrive. witnessing the herculean effort that went into closing Thrive X was the way to finish. it resembled everything i love and admire about the place and its people. so what's next... i left to build any and all software for any and all businesses. an ~ai~ consulting company of sorts. i've craved to run a service based business like this where i know my customers and they know me. there's no amorphous corporate blob to deal with. clients deal with me. now, with leverage from AI, they can get world class, personalized service from one guy at a reasonable rate. i hope this model lets me build trust and goodwill between tech and the long tail of industries from Anthropic's survey. (important note: i will also work with startups and tech companies given my mandate is literally any business) i've started with a used machine shop in Louisville, a wayfinding company in Cleveland, and a distributor of rags (literal towels not RAG...) in LA. we'll see how it goes...

Today we unveiled Neo Residency, a new program for startups and high-agency student teams. 🎉 We’re replacing our best-known program, Neo Accelerator, with something even better and more selective. 🧵

I’m excited to announce that Roi has been acquired by OpenAI! We started Roi 3 years ago to make investing accessible to everyone by building the most personalized financial experience. Along the way we realized personalization isn’t just the future of finance. It’s the future of software. This acquisition marks an incredible milestone for Roi, and we’re thrilled to continue building out our vision at OpenAI. We're extremely grateful to our users, investors, friends, and family who made this journey possible. Thank you, Sujith (aka suje)
