Wonder how much GDP we lose every year to the opening minutes of every meeting spent trying to kick out the AI notetakers

Excited for ServiceNow's acquisition of @ArmisSecurity — huge congrats to Yevgeny Dibrov, Nadir Izrael & the whole team. We first partnered in the Series C in 2019, then quickly leaned in much deeper (venture buyout ~ $1B). Incredible journey building cyber exposure management across IT, OT & connected/medical devices. Onward! 🚀 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Congratulations @runware on the Series A! When I first met @FlaviuRadulescu he pulled prototype hardware out of his backpack in a busy London café, and I knew immediately in that meeting that we wanted to be in business with him. Not long after the seed round, we are excited to welcome our friends at @dawncapital to this exciting journey of building the next gen AI inference platform!
Runware@runware

Today we’re announcing our $50M Series A! Over the last year, we’ve grown from a small group with a big idea into a platform powering AI for hundreds of millions of end users across image, video, audio, and more. Since Q3, we’ve grown revenue by 10x, placing Runware comfortably among the fastest growing companies in the world. 🚀 When Runware started, the mission was simple: build the fastest and most reliable multimodal inference platform on the planet and make it accessible to everyone. We built our own Sonic Inference Engine, our own GPU infrastructure, our own inference pods, and a set of optimizations that push the limits of what an AI provider can do at scale. 2026 will be the year we bring inference closer to users than ever. We’re deploying more than twenty Runware Inference Pods across major cities in Europe and the US, delivering sub-10ms latency AI. And we’re extending Runware to support every model on Hugging Face, running them faster, cheaper, and more reliably than anyone else. A special thank you to @dawncapital for leading this round, alongside @speedinvest @ComcastVentures @insightpartners @speedrun @ZeroPrimeVC @_AlexMenn at Begin Capital and all our early backers who supported us long before Runware looked like it does today.

Excited for the partnership with two of our portcos @Docker and @e2b to deliver a simplified and secure software supply chain for AI agents!
Docker@Docker

Docker is excited to partner with @e2b, a platform for running AI-generated code in secure cloud sandboxes. Docker + E2B now gives AI agents access to real tools (GitHub, Perplexity, Browserbase) in secure sandboxes via the MCP Catalog.

Runware@runware

Today we’re announcing our $13M Seed round, led by @insightpartners with support from @a16z @speedrun, Begin Capital, and @ZeroPrimeVC. Over the past year, monthly revenue has grown 40x and we’ve integrated more than 400K models, establishing Runware as an essential service for AI teams that need price, performance, and reliability at scale. Our unified API now powers 100K+ developers daily. Serves 250M+ end users. And supports major enterprises, including @Quora, @openart_ai, @NightcafeStudio, and @higgsfield_ai. This funding allows us to expand our state-of-the-art model library with day-zero releases, move into new modalities like audio and LLMs, and invest heavily in R&D, documentation, and UI/UX to deliver the best developer experience in the industry. If you’re ready to see what Runware can do in production, reach out and we’ll set you up with free credits to get started. Pay less, build more.

Was just thinking back to around 2003 when VMware came up with vMotion on ESX, being able to migrate a VM from a host to another with effectively zero interruption. It was like a magical sci-fi like experience at that time.

Thrilled to partner with the @promptfoo team in building the next gen security stack for AI applications!
Ian Webster@iwebst

We’ve raised an $18.4M Series A led by @insightpartners, with participation from @a16z, to build the best security stack for AI applications. Promptfoo started a year ago as an open source project and is now the most widely adopted toolkit for reducing security, compliance, and brand risks in AI applications. How it’s going + what’s next 🧵

@HarryStebbings Agreed, but need real growth 30%+ and FCF positive or very close to it IMO. The biggest hurdle is having a business that is predictable and stable enough to be successful in the quarterly cadence of being a public company.

VCs who say “wait for the market to reopen” are already missing it. If your company is: $250M+ revenue Growing Near break-even or profitable You’re not waiting for the IPO window. You’re in it. Do you agree that the IPO window is open at the stage above and how has what is needed to go public changed over time @JulesMaltz @altcap @colerotman @teddiew ?

My biggest fear in investing now is if they will stall out around $100m ARR. I used to think this was impossible. No one in my batch of SaaS CEOs that got anywhere close to that stalled out. But now it's ... common. Today you just relentlessly have to be going multiproduct and building a true platform earlier and earlier. And today more and more you have to find a way to tap into AI budget. That's where all the incremental spend is.

When you've been talking about AI for ten years and your claim to fame is a tweet about the ridiculous notary procedure in Germany that went viral. 🤣 cc @nathanbenaich

@nathanbenaich In one transaction we kept negotiating some ancillary pages still while the notary already started reading from the start. You just had to agree by the time he would get to that part and feed in the updated paper..

12 hours and counting - notary reads every single word of Series A docs in Germany out loud in front of founders. In person. Guys, we have GDP to grow here. Pure prehistoric madness.
