Operator Collective 🔆

No one does it alone, and Operator Collective is designed to bring people together who know how to succeed and want to help each other. Hear from a few of our founders on the magic that can happen when we put the #CollectiveVenture Model to work ⬇️ @crcolgrove , Co-Founder & CTO, @_hex_tech @melfellay, CEO & Co-Founder, @spekitapp @dojideon, CEO & Co-Founder, @forethought_ai @ShannonCGoggin, CEO & Co-Founder, @NoyoHQ @psalehi, CEO & Co-Founder, @Scratchpad vimeo.com/837940926

Today we’re announcing the momentum behind what we’re building at @numos_ai , following our $4.25M seed round backed by @generalcatalyst , @OpCo_VC , and an incredible group of angel investors and advisors including the former CAO of Meta and VP of AI Transformation at Microsoft

@barrald @_hex_tech Seeing so clearly how Pure Glass brings the... clarity

Today @_hex_tech is introducing the boldest redesign in the history of software. As agents transform software, everyone is questioning the role of UX. Will it all become vibe-coded slop? Or will it simply disappear? At Hex, design is the heart of everything we do – and we believe in beautiful UI as much as ever. Today we're introducing a preview of Pure Glass – a new language that evolves our UI, replacing harsh borders with frosted edges, and harsh contrast with clear translucency. No one asked for this – but we're doing it anyway, and are so excited to unleash this on our users this coming fall.

There are moments where you stop and look back at the journey — and realize just how rare it is. Today is one of those moments. I’m incredibly proud to share that @forethought_ai has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by @Zendesk .

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude make up almost half of currently used tools. General use chatbots dominate current deployment at close to 90% adoption.

We just published our first OpCo Intelligence report: The State of AI Transformation 2026, released today in @axios with @MadisonMills22 A few critical findings ⏬ axios.com/2026/03/04/ai-…

"Across every stage, parallelism is the thing that makes or breaks execution. At scale, the real constraint is the ability to run multiple critical initiatives in parallel without creating chaos." @surbs has scaled engineering orgs at Google, Airbnb, and Robinhood. Now she's leading technology at @klaviyo during one of the biggest inflection points in marketing tech. Our latest Operator Spotlight digs into how she's building AI at scale and rethinking architecture, operating models, and team structure from the ground up. Read more on how AI can't be a surface feature, why she structures teams like a tech stack, and the algorithm she uses to lead across any domain: operatorcollective.com/blog-posts/mee…

Following up on our SOTA results on ARC-AGI, we’re excited to share new SOTA results on Humanity’s Last Exam (both with and without tools) and SimpleQA! On HLE, Poetiq’s meta-system created multiple new SOTA configurations, going all the way up to 55%.

When a six-person team beat Gemini 3 Deep Think at half the cost, then days later improved GPT-5.2's performance by 16 percentage points on @arcprize, people took notice. Today, @poetiq_ai announced their $45.8M Seed round. Poetiq's meta-system makes ANY frontier LLM better at solving hard problems through recursive self-improvement - no expensive retraining required. And they can do it again every time a new model drops. Proud to join @fyrflyvc, @surfaceventures, @ycombinator, @468Capital, Hico Ventures, and Neuron in backing this team.

"Scale is the most honest audit a company will ever experience. It surfaces whether your company truly puts customers at the center... or simply markets that it does." Cait Keohane would know—she helped scale @Zendesk from under $100M to over $1B and is now Chief Customer Officer at @airtable. In our latest Operator Spotlight, Cait breaks down why the traditional customer journey model is dead, why she deliberately overstaffs ops, and how she translates between what sales promises, what product builds, and what customers actually need. operatorcollective.com/blog-posts/mee…

Finance teams spend weeks closing books, hours hunting mystery transactions across systems, and by the time numbers are clean, they're already stale. 79% say they're drowning in manual work. @UseQuanta is rebuilding accounting from scratch with an AI-first ledger that keeps books continuously accurate. Congrats to @helenbhastings and team on the $15M Series A led by @Accel with us @designerfund @alanaagoyal @naval @chughesjohnson + more And on launching Prism - an AI-powered reporting layer that makes every number explainable.
