📸 Happy to finally announce the closure of our $2m seed round to accelerate the launch of our AI-powered assistive camera of the future. Backed by @betaworks, F4 Fund and @NextWaveNYC via @flybridge, @7pcventures and @DigiCatapult we’re redefining the future of cameras and content creation. ✅ We’re integrating a large language model (LLM) directly into an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera for the first time ever. ✅ We’re entering a new phase in our journey under the name Camera Intelligence (@camera_int) - with a brand that better reflects our direction of travel. Why does this all matter? Producing engaging, high-quality content is necessary for creators and small businesses. But content tools are fragmented with steep learning curves. We want to help creators and businesses go from idea → execution faster than ever: no fuss - just smart, assistive content production in their hands. We've been working hard behind the scenes to deliver a radical new interface that allows users to control camera functions through voice commands. Being on the AI native camp at @betaworks in NYC was hugely influential for our ability to develop and deploy our LLM-driven technology - thanks to @Borthwick, @jordanrcrook, @nicole_ripka and the team. Huge thanks to all of our other investors who believed in our renewed vision Digital Catapult (@SusanBowenUK) and 7percent Ventures (@andrewjscott), and members from the NYC ecosystem (@andruyeung, @thesephist). _ _ __ 🎥 We will be sharing a demo video tomorrow so that you can see what we’re building in action…we can’t wait to share more! I also can’t wait to tell you about a few incredible team members we're recently hired to realise this vision, and thanks to all of our customers for their patience and support. We're only getting started...

So excited to share that @Dessn_ai has raised $6m, led @pietrobezza , with participation from @betaworks , N49P, and a few other amazing partners and angels. @eminimnim and I started the company 2 years ago with one conviction: the future of product development wouldn’t happen in disconnected mockups or recreated environments. It would happen directly in production. Today, Dessn is the only product that enables an entire team to design and prototype directly in prod — visually, collaboratively, and in one click.

Interesting! That’s a good spread. I’m confident Caira can compete with your a6600 in terms of quality, all assets immediately on your iPhone, and the agent is the kicker as it can do quick rough cuts of your vlogs in real time. Maybe we can sponsor some videos one day :) Can I email the one I your bio?

Luba started out recording most of her interview content on a smartphone 📱 But when she has an important guest she decided to upgrade to a proper/better camera 📸 Every creator goes on this journey. 1) Start with phone to discover you voice and gain traction 2) Upgrade to a camera once the formula is working But when you upgrade to a camera, your cadence starts to slow down because the editing workflow becomes more cumbersome. And, the average cost per video also increases because better camera equipment cost more money and you probably need to hire a videographer. If you want to capture a beautiful content without the complex workflow check out Check out Caira by Camera Intelligence (@camera_int)

Ankur Nagpal (@ankurnagpal) recently sold Carry and became a GP at USVC, a public markets fund led by Naval. What I always loved about Ankur is his honesty: from first-time founders figuring out whether to raise, to seasoned operators thinking about what comes after the exit, Ankur makes the messy, emotional side of building companies. We cover - Why most people should never raise venture capital - The three things he looks for in founders (and why the third one is controversial) - From reading Losing My Virginity at 13 to wanting to buy a sports team and put himself on the roster - SO much more!

If you find all the “Londonmaxxing” and King’s Cross AI hype cringe and overwhelming… Then, I’m sorry, but there’s something wrong with YOU... London is having its moment. Embrace it. Support it for God's sake 🇬🇧
