Big news to share today: @UseCarousel has been acquired by @AlphaSenseInc! When we started Carousel, our mission was simple – reign in tedious work and remove the roadblocks of Excel for financial modeling. Along the way, we’ve been fortunate to work with amazing customers and teammates who believed in that vision. Joining AlphaSense supercharges our mission. As the leader in AI-powered market intelligence, AlphaSense brings unparalleled data and insights to Carousel's modeling capabilities. This is transformational: Carousel will evolve from an execution tool that handles tedious Excel tasks into a thought partner that works with you from start to finish. By connecting real-time market intelligence directly to your financial models, you’ll be able to explore angles you might have missed, test more scenarios, and ultimately make decisions with real conviction. I couldn’t be prouder of what our team has accomplished so far – and I’m even more excited about what lies ahead as we keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, one less manual task at a time. To our customers: thank you for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come. 🚀

Today we’re announcing that Respan has raised a $5M seed round led by @GradientVC. We’re building the self-driving observability, evals, and gateway for AI agents. 100+ teams already use Respan. 1B+ logs/month. 2T+ tokens/month. And we’re just getting started.

We (finally) started raising our seed. It’s so awesome that so many customers wanted to write us an angel check. Really, really appreciate all the support ❤️

@raunakdoesdev Boooom!!

Big milestone for Reducto: we’ve raised a $75M Series B led by a16z, bringing our total funding to $108M. Since our launch, we’ve been obsessed with pushing the limits of what’s possible when AI meets the real-world messiness of documents. We’ve now processed 1B+ pages, nearly 6x the pages since our Series A less than 6 months ago. We’re doubling down on model research, developer tooling, and the reliability that production AI demands. We'll be announcing a series of product improvements that will extend our capabilities even further, helping our customers get even closer to perfect accuracy across their most challenging docs. A big thank you to everyone who helped get us here. But we're just getting started - if you're interested in what we're doing, we’re hiring across all functions! reducto.ai/careers

This is a pretty big move in ending manual excel usage. Congrats to my buddies at Carousel on joining AlphaSense. Carousel gives you faster first drafts & quicker edits that tie to explainable formulas and sources.

@HighyieldHarry @UseCarousel @AlphaSenseInc Thank you Harry!!

@wolfylms @UseCarousel @AlphaSenseInc Well deserved Daniel

@aditabrm @wilson_spearman @reductoai True

@wilson_spearman @reductoai People will do everything other than building a good product

Company that ran an espionage campaign to learn how we run demo calls now decided that their best ad copy is just "Reducto"

I wish the SF work-life balance discourse bros could work at Moelis, Evercore, or Blackstone for a month Then come back and tell everyone how intense your 996 week is Finance still works harder than most grindy tech bros And it’s not really in comparable conditions either: - Banking bullpen vs airy Dogpatch or Soho office - Dress shirt (minimum) to suit & tie (if you’re in FIG) vs T shirts - Work at the mercy of your MD/staffer vs work with friends your age on a shared mission It’s just not the same

I’m pretty sure @aneelr put China Live on this map singlehandedly

Add-in developers:

@Kazanjy Also 4. Deployment win (security/implementation)

Founders: Every enterprise deal needs three closes: 1. Technical win (product fit) 2. Business win (ROI/value) 3. Procurement win (terms/price) Skip one, watch deals stall at the finish line.

Making this the default for all the check formulas Carousel builds

@raunakdoesdev 😂 all about speed to launch

crazy when they don't even bother to ask GPT to change the copy 😭

It’s never been more over than it is now

@aditabrm @pabloantonio Bro’s gonna parse them

@pabloantonio Add me

I'm starting a gc in which we share rare & esoteric pdfs. Hit me up if interested

@laserboat999 @UseCarousel is overemployed but can find capacity

@FundamentEdge I’m down!

Money can’t buy integrity.

AI for financial modeling is a big theme this year. Wall Street banks are gonna have to adapt ASAP or get left in the dust
