The biggest risk in AI is not the failure you catch. It is the one you never see. A review of hundreds of thousands of real AI conversations by @mmooritz and @ChrisGPotts from @stanfordnlp found that 78% of failures are invisible — no complaint, no escalation, no obvious signal. This is a problem. In this piece, I shed light on what this means for teams deploying AI in the real world and how they can address it.

We raised a $27M Series A to replace the spreadsheets and human duct tape behind $100 trillion in global assets. Fund administration is the invisible backbone of private equity and venture capital - and it’s broken. Why? Financial data is scattered, stale, and locked inside legacy providers. Books take forever to close. Basic questions about your own fund take days to answer. So we rebuilt the general ledger, waterfall engine, investor portal, and portfolio management from scratch. One single source of truth for your firm. Our AI agents read emails, propose journal entries, and extract portfolio updates in seconds. Our CPAs review every output. Today, we administer $15 billion in assets - and we’re just getting started. Every fund CFO keeps getting asked: how will you adopt AI? Now you have an answer. Run your firm in real-time with @hanoverpark. –- Excited to partner with Jake Saper at @emergencecap @peterjhebert at Lux, @chadbyers/@pratyushbuddiga at Susa and CFOs at the largest private equity firms to forge this future.

Eight years ago, Newfront Insurance started in the Susa Ventures offices. Last week, they signed a definitive agreement to be acquired for $1.3B. 2017: 3 people, $0 in premium, $0 in revenue. 2025: 700 people, $3B in premium, $250m in revenue, profitable. Spike and Gordon, Thanks for letting Susa be a small part of the journey. ps, Newfront will continue to operate. They have the best product for companies. Reach out if your company needs coverage.

Congrats to Susa co @mkoneai on their acquisition by @AMD. This one is particularly sweet as MK1's CEO, Paul, is a close friend of 10+ years. There is nothing better than winning with friends. In just two years since the seed, @paul_merolla and team built MK1 Flywheel, an AMD-optimized high-speed inference platform which they scaled to 1T+ tokens/day and millions in ARR. MK1 will be a key piece of AMD's enterprise AI inference and software platform.

Last month, awe announced our seed round The tough part? We'd closed the round a few months earlier, which meant we couldn't thank our investors for their effort & support done in the shadows @SusaVentures - @pratyushbuddiga @chadbyers & Shannon have been deeply helpful across sales, referrals, recruiting, and ops (even letting us camp in their office for the team when we're in SF). Blessed to get to work with their team - and now get to rep their swag on calls. Onwards and upwards!

Thrilled to share we’re co-leading this round with XYZ and @haystackvc. Nick is a throwback to a different era - a true “hedgehog founder” in the vernacular of @honam. “In the end, we agree with Jim Collins – that Hedgehogs are the ones who build great, lasting companies. As entrepreneurs, they are the rarest of breeds – those who can start something anew, make it work, stick with it, and build something special, and ultimately, inspire others along the way, with their determination, dedication and commitment.” Hedgehog founders are one of my favorite archetypes - @khawajasn is a canonical example for me and why we partnered with Shinkei in their seed round before Founders Fund led their Series A. Nick has that same sort of relentlessness and determination and customer obsession. It’s why Rivet works with some of the leading AI companies in the world, from Cursor to Cognition and Chai Discovery. AI services is a core idea we believe in at Susa. We were fortunate to be the first investors in @hanoverpark last year, and Rivet fits squarely into that thesis area. It’s rare you meet someone and you know exactly what they’ll be doing in 20+ years– and that their business will still be compounding that far into the future. Long-term thinking is rare these days. Yet when I sat across from Nick in his Woodbury home, I could see the vision: he’ll still be building @RivetTax, and it’ll be the premier corporate accounting firm on the planet. Full blog at link in my bio. If you’re a founder looking for best-in-class corporate tax, reach out to Nick or me. Pumped to be on this journey!

Supermemory has raised $3M in pre-seed funding to build the best memory engine for agents. Agents needs to be personalized. They need to learn and grow with the user. They need memory. And that's the future we're building today. x.com/DhravyaShah/st…

Dhravya Shah@DhravyaShah

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 🌎

Strong founder ✅ Quality end market ✅ Ripping traction ✅ Market leader ✅ Congrats to Nic and team on the $70m Series B!
Nicolas Kopp@nicckopp

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!
