@aikukharenko @PalabraAI Proud to be on your journey!!

We just hit $1M annual run rate at Palabra 🎉 Six months ago, we were at $60k - that’s 17x growth since October. Seeing Palabra Translate used in thousands of real meetings every day means a lot to me. Grateful for the team and everyone backing us. A lot more coming!

@TheEthanDing @TextQL @blackstone @HOFCapital @neo @DCM_VC @UnshackledVC @Dropbox @varsharao Incredible team - proud to support!

We (@TextQL) raised $17M led by @blackstone to build agentic analytics for enterprises with messy data. The round was joined by @HOFCapital, @neo, @DCM_VC, @PickensAllison, @UnshackledVC, @Dropbox , @varsharao, & other angels

@tejasmanohar Love supporting this team! And my husband is also a very happy customer :)

The last few months have been the most intense period of my career. While scaling Hightouch 100%+ YoY, my cofounders and I decided to go back into early stage startup mode with a much bigger vision “What would the marketing process look like today if it was re-written with AI at every step” Introducing Hightouch Agents 🚀 hightouch.com/blog/hightouch…

@TextQL I get so excited when I see AI companies transforming healthcare! Congrats Ethan and team.

95% of Healthcare data lives in petabytes of SQL databases The tools for AI to use that data haven't existed Today we fix that with TextQL Healthcare 100,000+ tables. Trillions of rows. Petabytes of data. 15 minutes to insights. Epic systems with 100,000+ tables. Cerner environments. Claims databases. Clinical notes. Prior authorizations. Healthcare organizations have more data complexity than any other industry - and exactly zero AI platforms built to handle it. Until now. Here's what makes it different: 1. Direct access to ALL your systems. No migration required. Epic + Cerner + Claims + Snowflake + Databricks. Everything. At once. Other platforms: 6-month ETL projects. TextQL: Connect Monday. Query Tuesday. First insights in 15 minutes. 2. Healthcare-compliant execution environment. Autonomous agents running production code in SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Full audit trails. On-premise deployment available. 3. Structured AND unstructured data. Simultaneously. Everyone else: Claims records OR clinical notes. Us: Both. At the same time. Make sense of 100,000s of tables without months of data prep. We're not launching with pilots. We're launching with Lumeris - powering their Tom™ AI platform delivering care to millions of Americans. Live partnership. Production workloads. Enterprise healthcare data at scale. Advisory Board of operators who've run organizations serving 120M+ Americans: - Varsha Rao (former CEO Nurx, COO Clover Health) - David Griffith (Trinity Life Sciences, ex-Pfizer) - Sam Mohanty (former CDO, Prime Therapeutics) - Jean-Claude Saghbini (CTO, Lumeris) - Raghu Chandra (30 year EHR Veteran) These aren't advisors. They're the people who built the systems we're now optimizing. Meet us at HLTH Conference next week - Booth #4060 Or request a demo: textql.com/hlth-conference Comment "HEALTHCARE" and we'll reach out for a customized demo!

@TheEthanDing [Blushing] Let's make it #1!

Allison's only been on the cap table for a few months, but she's probably the running 3rd out of like 100 investors in helpful intros / supporting our team in the lifetime of our existence! [i love everyone else too]

@TheEthanDing You + team have been relentless in perfecting this product. So excited to be on your journey.

Your AI Agents can only analyze 1GB of data Enterprises have 1,000,000x as much data We fixed that... It took 3 years and building an entirely new execution environment to pull this off. TextQL lets AI agents analyze your ENTIRE enterprise data - not just the 0.0001% they can handle today. Here's what makes it so different: 1. ALL your data, not samples. AI today: 1GB demos. Your reality: 350TB across 47 systems. TextQL: Everything. At once. 2. Real enterprise questions.ChatGPT writes poems. We answer why renewal rates dropped 3% after ERP upgrades. 3. No more sandbox limitations.Everyone else: Jupyter notebook with 10GB RAM. Us: A data center. ------------------------------ In 2021, I watched Fortune 500s spend millions on AI that could only analyze data that fits on a USB stick. Today: - We process 10+ petabytes daily - Our biggest customer analyzes 100TB in real-time - Average query spans 50+ data sources And we just proved what everyone said was impossible - AI that can actually build a digital twin of your enterprise ------------------------------ To celebrate, we're giving away free data architecture assessments. We'll show you exactly how much of your data is invisible to AI right now (spoiler: it's probably 99.9%). Comment "TextQL" and we'll send you the assessment link.

Making slides manually feels especially painful now that you know Cursor for slides should exist but doesn’t.

Fun when you're waiting in a Zoom and there are more AIs here than people :)

One of the best habits I've ever developed is to get angry, rather than sad, when things don't go well. That fire in my belly is what has gotten me through hard times. Get back up and get it!

Here's a framework I used for evaluating my executives, built with my favorite CEO coach allisonpickens.substack.com/p/how-to-evalu…

@nrmehta Did you go a second time??

Me: "Yeah I went to the Taylor Swift concert on Friday" Mom: "I saw the video you sent me of you singing" Me: "Yup" Mom: "Did you sing on stage with Taylor?" 🎤 💀

The Greeks believed in the art of what they called oral "rhetoric" - perhaps there will be a revival of this discipline.

Oral debate becomes a lot more exciting when generative AI can produce your written argument.
