Eight Midwestern universities are teaming up to launch a San Francisco outpost in a bid to deepen ties with the city – and its venture-backed startup ecosystem. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/n…



🚨 Introducing the AI Apps 50: Startup Edition Ever wondered how startups are spending their money when it comes to AI? Our team at @a16z worked with @mercury to crunch the numbers and rank the top applications by spend. The list + what we learned from it👇

We’re humbled and excited to share that we surpassed $100M ARR last week. Thank you to our customers and supporters—this wouldn’t be possible without you. We’re grateful, and we’re just getting started.

Earlier this month, we crossed $100M in ARR, up from $10M at the end of ’24. But that’s just fraction of the value we’re creating: from enterprise teams like @zillow and @HubSpot shipping faster, to solo builders like @yoheinakajima and @GerrardL_ building and running their businesses on Replit. We still have over half our funding in the bank. Our last round was in ‘23 at a $1.1B valuation, and we haven’t needed to raise since. We’re growing the team, and now’s a great time to join. The upside ahead is massive.


We’re setting a new standard at Zapier. 100% of new hires must be fluent in AI.
