Two Sigma Ventures
@TwoSigmaVC
We are an early-stage venture capital firm investing in transformative companies harnessing information growth and computing power to change the world.



I have spoken to 3 founders in the last 48 hours; all of them with 500-1,000 employees. Each of them is planning a minimum 20% headcount reduction. Said with great concern; this is about to get very real for labour markets.






We just raised $30M to build the AI-powered financial command center for consumer brands, led by @AcrewCapital. Cash is the lifeblood of every brand. @HighbeamApp makes it simple to stay in control and grow profitably. The future of finance isn’t spreadsheets. It’s Highbeam.














Today, @BedrockRobotics emerges from stealth with $80M in funding led by @eclipseventures and @8VC to bring fully autonomous systems to the construction industry. Read more from our CEO @bsofman on the company vision and where we’re headed: bit.ly/4kCAT2x Now, more than ever, America needs to build. Recent investments in reshoring mean we need new factories for domestic manufacturing. We need new data centers and energy solutions to power AI. And we need millions of new housing units to solve our country’s housing crisis. Demand for development has never been higher, but we have a supply problem choking our economic future. More than 500,000 construction jobs sit unfilled as critical projects stall. Bedrock is here to change that. Our Bedrock Operator transforms existing fleets of worksite equipment into fully autonomous machines, enabling builders to meet growing construction demands in the U.S. with greater quality, predictability, and safety. And in just one year, we’ve deployed our technology on test sites in AR, AZ, TX, and CA, with a list of forward-thinking partners, including @Sundt, Zachry Construction, Champion Site Prep, and @CapAgg. And we’ve got so much more to build.




As @sama recently wrote, we're very close to the arrival of robots that can do tasks in the real world. But the missing ingredient is still data. That's why I'm covering ZeroMatter – the startup using simulation to accelerate how robots are built, tested, and trained – for the latest edition of Startups to Join (link below).
