Accel

First partner to exceptional teams everywhere.

[Sara Ittelson @SaraIttelson]

Adding to the intense drumbeat of critical cyber issues announced this week.

[1Password @1Password]

Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉

We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly.

1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials.

The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords..

You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault.

"We had our hands on it, and we called it a crash."

Two years before PHP2Shell, Mihail Kirov's @Quarkslab team reported a flaw with the same root cause. It never got fixed.

Yesterday and @msuiche spoke on it with @xisabelobrienx at @CNBC.

Patch now: PHP 8.2.35 · 8.3.36 · 8.4.27 · 8.5.12

[Accel @Accel]

From the start, @MaxJunestrand set out to build the operating system where lawyers and their agents work together. We're proud to continue backing @WeAreLegora as they shape the future of legal work.

[Legora @WeAreLegora]

We have raised a $550 million Series E at a $8.8B valuation to accelerate our growth in the U.S. and globally, and deepen investment in the Legora aOS, our agentic operating system for legal work.

@Atreidesmgmt leads this round, alongside new investors @BaronCapital, @CapitalGroup, @Fidelity, @GladeBrookCap, and @jpmorgan. Every major existing investor is participating. We’re grateful to have partners who share our ambition and our long-term view.

We build AI together with the people who use it. That’s always been our approach. Our customers help shape what we build, pushing us to go further on the work that matters.

This is the most exciting time in history to be a lawyer, and we’re lucky to be in the middle of it.

[Axonius @AxoniusInc]

How many AI apps are running in your environment? The honest answer is a guess.

New capabilities for the Axonius Asset Cloud:
↳ Shadow AI Discovery: find AI apps in use (generally available)
↳ AI Platforms Inventory: map models, agents, and MCP servers (in preview by the end of January 2027)
↳ AI Application Settings: catch AI policy drift (in preview by the end of January 2027)

[Accel @Accel]

A product can be redesigned in a week. Retooling the line to build it can take far longer. @Arda_Industries is using AI to close that gap.

https://t.co/7ZhnzLiNYW

[Arda Industries @Arda_Industries]

A big day for our team. We’re excited to share what we’ve been building: AI for manufacturing engineering, already deployed at @anduriltech.

More from our co-founder and CEO, @bobmcgrewai, below.

[Accel @Accel]

Product design moves faster than factories can adapt. @Arda_Industries launched today to close that gap. We wrote about why Accel co-led the seed and Series A: https://t.co/7ZhnzLiNYW.

[Bob McGrew @bobmcgrewai]

We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation.

Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.

[Accel @Accel]

Individuals around the world are bringing more of what’s possible to life with AI. We’re working with @nebiusai and @NVIDIAAI to support them through The AI Builder Program. Everything is kicking off this week at #NVIDIAGTC in Berlin.

[Nebius @nebiusai]

The AI Builder Program is expanding across Europe with $10M in total support across compute grants, capital, and community programs.

Are you building open models, developer tools, or applications on top of them? The program helps builders go from experimentation to scale-up through:

- Compute grants for selected projects in areas such as open models, coding agents, post-training, and evals
- VC connections to help turn open source projects into companies
- Hackathons and demo days with communities including @AITinkerers, @techeurope_ , and @esra_robotics to build, connect, and share your work

We’re kicking off the European expansion this week at #NVIDIAGTC Berlin with @NVIDIAAI, @Accel, and a network of European VCs.

Building AI in Europe? Details below. 👇

[Code Metal @Code_Metal_AI]

What gets lost when AI is used in code translation?

AI translated code can compile successfully but still behave differently from the original. But in safety-critical environments, this behavioral gap is unacceptable - and can have serious consequences.

Our latest research blog post explores how defining good type mappings can close that gap, and how Code Metal approaches the problem from a formal methods perspective.

New look. Bolder mission.
Our mission, in three words: Pay the world.

Now our look matches.

[Rich P Wong @RWong]

We're honored to invest further with this remarkable team and remarkable company @modal - @bernhardsson & @akshat_b --- where its still just the very beginning ... @Accel @MocorreaGonzalo

(thx & h/t to @patrickachase @max_rimpel @sarahcat21 @htaneja @breeves08 )

[Accel @Accel]

Erik and Akshat built @Modal to make running code as easy as writing it. Tens of thousands of developers use it, and it just crossed $1 billion in revenue run rate, up 15x in a year.

We look forward to continuing to partner with them: https://t.co/ZeW5tKBdh7

[Modal @modal]

Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel.

Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year.

We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

[Legora @WeAreLegora]

Our CEO and co-founder @MaxJunestrand recently sat down with @thetimes for a conversation that covers a lot of ground: the Jude Law campaign, Legora’s path from a three-person team in a windowless room at Nordic law firm to $200M in ARR, and his own path from competitive Dota 2 player to building the company.

It’s a good read, on the business, the industry, and the founder behind it all. Full profile here: https://t.co/ROjAyyNY7U

[Accel @Accel]

We look forward to working alongside Doug, RJ and the Mind team on what comes next.

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

Field also worked on Apple's secretive car project and oversaw development of the Tesla Model 3.
