We had an incredible April at Harvey. - Net new ARR is up 6x YoY - We’re about to break 50% DAU/MAU - Our average user now spends 12 hours a month using Harvey Job's not finished.

Polish isn’t decoration. It’s the accumulated effect of caring about every small thing until the small things stop calling attention to themselves.

How does one make sense of SF? We are living through the craziest computing revolution of the last 2 decades....and 95% of the value being created is within a 4-mile radius in SF (h/t @eladgil ) It's just hard to understand....why is the concentration so high? What is it about this place? There are good reasons that people will offer...good universities, great companies, talent networks, venture capital yada yada yada But all of that is hard to emotionally understand. I tend to try to answer these questions through my own lived experience. Two things happened this week that brought it home for me. On Wed evening, two GOATS of the design world (@soleio and @rsms ) did a design talk at SPC. I saw some other GOATS at the talk (@aaron_ , @benbarry ) And you realize that these GOATS are just so curious about the world. They just want to build and learn. And give back. And with an air of humility and passion. It's so so cool and inspiring. And then this week we had someone release a mind-bendingly amazing demo of every pixel being generated. x.com/zan2434/status… People were blown away but @eddiejiao_obj and @zan2434 had been jamming creatively for a bunch of time @southpkcommons . And in that entire time, they were surrounded by a culture and environment and ecosystem that says "that is crazy but my god, if it works, then what could happen" There is wonder, amazement and curiosity. And passion. I wish this city were cleaner and better governed (but Dan Lurie is crushing). We are so lucky to be surrounded by weirdos who love to build. This is why we are who we are.

Really enjoyed teaming up with @vercel for our AI Design Night! Our presenter lineup was amazing. Huge thanks to @andymadrick @yescynfria @pablostanley @thisiscsim for the live demos and to our packed audience for the great vibes. Let's do it again! If you're a designer who loves experimenting with AI and wants to show off your latest project, DM me and we can get you on the list for our next design night. cc: @notablecap

the only way to lose in life is to forget how wondrous it is

I need everyone to check out this link ASAP this is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read tinyurl.com/join-polycule

Announcing Harvey Agents that execute legal work end-to-end. They reason through problems and draft memos, presentations, and diligence reports ready for your review. Delegate the work. Own the judgment. Learn more: harvey.ai/agents

I wrote this early this morning and I wasn't sure if I would actually publish it, but here it is: blog.samaltman.com/2279512

if you’re a startup in 2026 and you don’t have a “labs” group, you might as well be enterprise SaaS

NEW: Legal AI startup Harvey just raised at an $11B valuation. But CEO Winston Weinberg is used to operating between two worlds. On one side are highly-trained lawyers who are skeptical about AI’s ability to improve their work. On the other are Silicon Valley technologists who see law as one of the fields that the biggest AI labs, Anthropic and OpenAI, can easily absorb. So far, @harvey is navigating just fine. It works with 100,000+ lawyers across 1,000 organizations, and has revenue of about $200M to go with yesterday's $200M in new funding. On The Upstarts Podcast, @winstonweinberg talks about how a cold email to Sam Altman (@sama) helped launch Harvey’s journey; why he believes lawyers are a surprise power user of AI tools; and why he only hires for roles he's personally managed. Plus, he talks about his Upstart Moment: a never-before-disclosed attempt to “one-shot” growth that saw Harvey almost merge with another company of equal size in 2024 – only to luckily pull back.

@gabriel1 Hi

hello friends

@ianzelbo Sup!

If you can reply you’re cool and i wanna know you

The best legal teams aren't using AI to replace lawyers’ time. They're using AI to reclaim it for judgment, strategy, and collaboration. AI agents run the workflows. Lawyers drive the outcomes. Harvey is the platform where both happen. Today we announced new funding led by GIC and Sequoia to scale the agents our customers run on Harvey and expand the legal engineering teams that help them turn expertise into systems.

@johnbai @cursor_ai Congrats John!

new job update:

@dbabbs @tryprofound @lightspeedvp @sequoia @kleinerperkins @MattEvantic @Saga_Ventures @southpkcommons Congrats @dbabbs and team!!!

Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons. When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading: 1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand. 2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster. Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined. Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO. To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing. Reply with 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 for free access to one of our most popular agents. No account required and no strings attached.

Our team cooked! Couldn’t be more fitting 🔥

Wondering if anyone has recommendations for office space in SF? We’re looking for: • Space to scale to 25-30ppl over the next 12 months • Good space for community events • Good light and character. Somewhere that would make you smile when you walk in If anyone has great brokers, buildings, subleases, or off-market leads - would hugely appreciate intros
