Bitcoin is a ~$2T asset, yet less than 0.5% is deployed in on-chain finance. Hashi from @ScribbleVC company @SuiNetwork introduces institutional-grade BTC-backed lending on Sui — without wrapping or selling the underlying asset. This = a massive unlock for compliant Bitcoin finance. Check it out:
Sui@SuiNetwork

Introducing Hashi: a new era of Bitcoin finance on Sui. Bitcoin's market cap exceeds $1 trillion. < 0.5% of it is used in DeFi. Hashi is here to change that, with commitments from industry leaders including BitGo, Bullish, Erebor Bank, FalconX, Fordefi, Ledger, and more.

Congrats to @ScribbleVC company @SwarmAero on their $35M Series A! "The future world order depends on who controls air power. Swarm is building the technologies needed for deterrence and dominance in the 21st century." axios.com/2026/03/11/swa…
Swarm Aero@SwarmAero

Modern conflicts are decided in the air. Swarm Aero is building a radically effective way to scale air power. We're proud to share that we've raised $35 million in Series A funding, led by @TwoSigmaVC and @SilentVentures and joined by our seed investors @khoslaventures, @ScribbleVC, @friendsfamcap, @constructcap, @coatuemgmt, @foundersfund, @alumniventures, and @MaCVentureCap! This brings total capital raised to $59M to accelerate the deployment of our large UAV and the swarm software that enables drones to be controlled at scale. While smaller drones pack smaller punches and require assistance to get to the fight, our large, multimission UAV can cover long distances and defeat high-value targets. Designed to manufacture at unprecedented volume and cooperate with superhuman dexterity, our UAV achieves asymmetric impact at dramatically lower cost than traditional aircraft. The future world order depends on who controls air power. Swarm is building the technologies needed for deterrence and dominance in the 21st century. And we’re hiring! Read more in @axios' Future of Defense exclusive on the raise (thank you @demarest_colin!) and our press release: axios.com/2026/03/11/swa… businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

Meet @ScribbleVC company @GuildAI - they just announced their Series A to build the neutral control plane for AI agents. Founded by the imitable @jevering (Co-founder LiveOps, eng leader at Meta & IG), this is the right team at the right time. Guild is the neutral multi-model, multi-vendor, multi-framework solution for companies and developers. Agents running everywhere. Guild makes it possible.
Guild.ai@GuildAI

Guild.ai has raised a Series A to build the neutral control plane for AI agents. Universal by design. Guild is neutral toward models, vendors, and frameworks. Guild turns agents into shared production infrastructure, with a managed software center for trusted agent capabilities, and an agent hub for discovering and sharing agents. Read the full announcement: guild.ai/knowledge/guil… Our new site is live: guild.ai

We are pumped to welcome @stuartdsmith to @ScribbleVC! This is great news for both our team & our founders. Stu is kind and humble, yet has backed some of the best founding teams on the planet. He's a triple-threat - a founder + operator + investor, and he brings that to bear for our founders as they build their companies and their networks. Finally, he's a wonderful person and teammate, and we look forward to every conversation, every meeting, every decision, and every team offsite with him. We are thrilled you joined us, @stuartdsmith!
Stu Smith@stuartdsmith

Belated post: excited to share I joined @ScribbleVC last year. Since 2015, I’ve tried to be like the best VCs I worked with as an operator/founder — show up when needed and stay out of the way when not. That’s also the Scribble way. Proud to be on board!

Proximal
Proximal@ProximalHQ·
Today, we are announcing Proximal. Proximal is a research lab for data. Our core belief is that data which is complex enough to teach today’s frontier models is not bottlenecked by domain experts, but by great ideas and excellent software. We are excited about a world in which coding agents can autonomously run for multiple weeks, solve the hardest technical problems and discover novel ideas that advance progress in various domains of science and engineering. We believe that we are not far from this future, but that the biggest bottleneck preventing us from achieving it is training data. Many companies work on data, but most of them are approaching it the wrong way. Historical capability breakthroughs are the result of creative engineers discovering scalable data collection methods, not thousands of contractors manually writing task demonstrations. Inevitably, the potential impact of human data will become smaller and smaller as model capabilities increase: agents are already outperforming most humans in many domains - the number of experts that are capable of judging model outputs shrinks with every new model release. Proximal is a new data company. We are not a recruiting firm or a talent marketplace, but a research and engineering organization that treats data as a problem which deserves the same level of rigor as work on training algorithms and model architectures. We think that this is the most impactful work towards agents that can autonomously solve complex technical problems, and intend to share our research and progress in the open.

"Have you really thought through your moat?" "Is speed really your only lead right now?" @elizabeth joins @glennsolomon @notablecap on hypergrowth lessons from the early days of Twitter & her early investments in Whatnot, Slack, Figma, + more.
Notable Capital@notablecap

On the latest Notable Perspectives podcast, @glennsolomon talks with @elizabeth Weil about scaling Twitter from 50 to 3,000, building @ScribbleVC, and why speed alone isn't a moat in AI. Her advice to founders: "Why you, why this, why now?"

OpenAI's @kevinweil says 24/7 robotic labs could automate scientific discovery using "reinforcement learning with a loop through the real world": "There’s a lot of science that can be totally automated. There’s no reason at this point that you need to have grad students pipetting one thing into another thing." "The idea is to have robotic labs that are online 24/7 and can scale in parallel. You have models reasoning for two days to find the most efficient experiments to run, once they get to a good point, they pass that to a robotic lab which can experiment in parallel at high volume." "The results pass back into a model which reasons about the results and then goes out and runs a different set of experiments. You’re doing reinforcement learning with a loop through the real world."

It's been incredible to watch @ScribbleVC company @baseten execute across all dimensions, with lightning speed ⚡️. Some team build products - others build era-defining companies. Inference is the market to watch in 2026. And this is truly an N of 1 company.
Baseten@baseten

We’re thrilled to announce that we have raised $300M at a $5B valuation. The round is led by IVP and CapitalG, both doubling down on their investment in Baseten, and joined by 01A, Altimeter, Battery Ventures, BOND, BoxGroup, Blackbird Ventures, Conviction, Greylock, and NVIDIA.
