Susa co Human Interest hits $3B valuation. In today's market of fast rounds and fomo, i'm reminded that there are many ways to build successful companies. We seeded Human Interest (fka Captian401k) in Sep 2015. The path to today wasn't linear, but they've emerged as the winner of their market through relentless, heads-down work. Jeff, the CEO, is steadfast on building an enduring company and wants to run it for another couple decades. Today I'm reminded that 2-year old unicorns are the exception to the rule, and that most great businesses still take time and lots of hard work to get right. Congrats to Jeff, Roger, Paul and all the current and former team members. What a milestone.

Today is Day 652 @RivetTax. Since launch, we’ve filed over 1000 tax returns for companies like Cursor & Cognition. We've become #1 most-rated firm on Sam's List. But today is special, because we get to announce our $5.1m seed round led by XYZ Ventures & Susa Ventures.

Excited to announce that I've raised $3 Million to build @supermemory, the best memory for LLMs and agents. I turned 20 last month Memory is one of the hardest challenges in AI right now. I realized this when building the first version of supermemory, which was merely a bookmarking and notetaking tool I was building as a side-project in dorm two years ago when I was 18. There weren't many good solutions, so I built my own vector DB, content parsers and an engine that works like the human brain. This is my life's work - I dropped out of college, moved to SF, and continued to build out the product as a solo founder. Today, I am delighted that we have one of the best and fastest memory products in the world, with many hundreds of enterprises and builders building apps on top of supermemory. And this is just the start. grateful to my investors @SusaVentures (@chadbyers), Browder Capital (@joshuabrowder), SF1 (@ItzSuds), @julianweisser (@solofounders), and angels like @dok2001 (Cloudflare), Jeff Dean and @OfficialLoganK (Google), @zeeg (Sentry), @Theo, and many others who have supported me in this journey. We are hiring across engineering, research and product roles. Join us in the journey of creating the best memory engine on 🌎

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!
