AI vendors make ambitious claims about capabilities, promising near-perfect automation or the ability to independently navigate complex workflows. But they're still failing at some very basic functions for healthcare settings. @HelloPatient co-founder and CEO @anothercohen joined Scale Partner @jkauf_mann at SaaStock USA 2026 to talk about how they're addressing this disconnect 👇

54% of B2B buyers use AI chatbots as their primary shortlisting tool. For many businesses, that's great news. 1/ SEO takes 6 to 12 months to show results, while AEO can generate signal in weeks. 2/ Everyone starts from the same baseline.

Last week Apple previewed the future of Siri. In 1987 though, Apple showcased a far more advanced AI assistant that would change how we use our computers entirely. It could see you, control your computer, and even looked and sounded human. They called it Knowledge Navigator. For nearly 40 years it remained science fiction. This past week at @tavus we finally brought it to life with the help from our friends at @cerebras. Meet Dom:

They've got "it" We at @scalevp are proud to have led the Series A

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve closed our Series C and raised $100M to continue automating the world’s most complex phone calls. We grabbed some guy named Paul to talk about it because nobody else in the office wanted to. 🧵

.@0xjohnkim and @lijeffrey39 built @paraformtalent to match your hardest roles with expert recruiters and AI agents who already know how to fill them. Hear what inspired them to start the company:

We've raised $400M in new funding. This capital goes toward one mission: building general intelligence for the physical world and making it useful to everyone.

We’re excited to announce the promotion of @Sabina_Smith_ to Principal! Sabina invests across cybersecurity, infrastructure software, and creative tools. Her fascination with technology traces back to an early obsession with mechanical systems, from analog cameras to pinball machines. Congratulations, Sabina.

Last month, we brought together operators, researchers, founders, and investors across 3 standout gatherings - our AI Roundtable Dinner, Security Happy Hour with Lama Partners during Boston @Techweek_ by a16z, and a Harvard/MIT PhD Dinner with some of Boston's exceptional technical talent and researchers. Thanks to everyone who attended these events with us – we've got a lot more in store for June!

Congratulations, @anothercohen! 👶🍼🎉

We’re hosting The Boston Security Table with Lama Partners during Boston Tech Week: an intimate gathering for security leaders focused on candid conversation around AI, security, and the investment landscape shaping both. The discussion will go behind the scenes on how venture firms evaluate companies, identify emerging winners, and think about where real opportunity is being created in the AI era. The goal: thoughtful dialogue and perspective-sharing among operators and investors who are building in the space every day. RSVP here: luma.com/u3rl75nv

Thrilled to welcome @tedzchai!
