BCV helps founders build iconic businesses that transform the way we live and work.

Most legal AI tools are built by people who've never redlined a contract.

Thats why before founding @crosbylegal, @ryanjdaniels sat with the people actually doing that work, questioning assumptions that most people accepted (including his own), and in turn changed how legal work could be handled and delivered.

Take a closer look at the mindset that led to Crosby, with @ChristinaPhili5. ↓

Incredibly proud of @tomo for 1M+ on their video

We sat down right before launch to break down how @justoutquan and @Jackyhuang bet on themselves

Ryan Daniels has been a lawyer, a GC, and a legal AI founder. Then he built a law firm meant to make the billable hour obsolete.

Our partner @ChristinaPhili5 says there wasn't an hour in the day you couldn't email him and get an instant response.

@ryanjdaniels reflects on building @crosbylegal, and how it took plenty of unbillable hours to get there. Check it out below.

The last major innovation for lawyers was Microsoft Word in the 1980s.

@crosbylegal is changing that with a law firm built around AI agents and human lawyers working side by side. Instead of billing by the hour, they charge by the contract, so getting faster aligns incentives. That single change is why hyper-growth companies like @cursor_ai and Clay made Crosby part of their legal team from day one.

@ryanjdaniels breaks down how the model actually works in the newest Outlier Briefing.

For years, automating care management meant cutting into provider revenue. Scale was penalized by design.

New federal reimbursement codes just changed that, and the structural barrier is gone.

Partner @alysaaco explains why this is the policy shift health tech builders have been waiting for.

@merritthummer @travisk We believe in the Atoms team! Congrats, all.

[Bain Capital Ventures @BainCapVC]

@travisk From bits to atoms, you're building the foundation that will reach far beyond a single industry. Congratulations on the next step, @travisk and the Atoms team.

[Merritt Hummer @merritthummer]

Software automated bits. ATOMS will automate atoms.

We are thrilled to back @travisk and his team as they launch a new platform for physical AI. ATOMS is fundamentally rethinking the tech stack to drive industrial progress across autonomous transport and autonomous robotics.

Very few founders can conceive of a vision this audacious, let alone execute it. @travisk is one of them.

@poolsideai Big congrats to the team! Small enough to run on one GPU, capable enough to compete with models many times its size.

[Bain Capital Ventures @BainCapVC]

@ChristinaPhili5 @ryanjdaniels A great reflection of the journey so far!

[Christina Melas-Kyriazi @ChristinaPhili5]

This was so much fun!

Ron, Ryan and I were fortunate to work with @ryanjdaniels in the early days before he knew what Crosby would become. The son of 2 law professors, Ryan was born to start this company.

He was early to the idea that AI would transform services, and made a bet about commercial contracts as the place to start that turned out to be correct. Crosby offers a radically better value prop of speed and quality to their customers, which resonated instantly with the fastest growing AI companies.

They are pioneering the playbook of the neofirm, and they have built an incredible team in NY!

Aryo and @tinahhong recently visited my hometown in Arkansas (birthplace of the 'former' F1...).

We built legos, visited Walton's first store, and recounted Andera lore. In reflection, I saw two reembodiments of Sam Walton - the same immense warmth, care, and curiosity towards people.

It's what gave me conviction in their ability to engender trust in audit. I have no doubt we will solve financial oversight.

I probably won't camp outside in Soma ever again, but grateful @AryoPatel took it well. Proud to partner with them at @BainCapVC.

[Bain Capital Ventures @BainCapVC]

@andera_ai @lightspeedvp @pearvc @A_StarVC Excited for what's ahead. Big congratulations to the @andera_ai team!

[Andera @andera_ai]

Today, we’re announcing Andera’s $37M Series A led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @BainCapVC, @pearvc, and @A_StarVC to build the future of AI auditing.

Andera builds agents that automate the manual audit work of our Fortune 10 clients and leaders in audit, turning weeks of testing into minutes.

As the world has gotten more digitized, auditors’ tools haven’t kept up.

We’re bringing together best-in-class auditors and engineers to solve the hard problem underneath that: reasoning over messy evidence the way an experienced auditor would. Thank you to our investors for believing in us, and to our clients for trusting us to do the work right.

[tinah @tinahhong]

Tech has decided that regulation is the enemy of progress, but innovation requires capital

Regulation builds the trust necessary to inject billions into markets

To enable free innovation, Andera raised a $37M series A led by Lightspeed to scale financial oversight with agents

[Bain Capital Ventures @BainCapVC]

@AryoPatel @andera_ai @lightspeedvp @tinahhong A testament to betting on the right people. Congratulations to you both.

[Bain Capital Ventures @BainCapVC]

@tinahhong Congrats on the Series A, @andera_ai team! We're cheering you on for the journey ahead.

Most senior care companies stop after they match a nurse to a family. Jenny Lee founded Hera with a much bigger goal in mind: care good enough for her own parents.

That standard shows up in the product. Every call, text and email between a family and their Hera team feeds back into the platform, so that the next interaction is sharper and more informed.

Families get back about 12 hours a month, time that goes toward the people they love. Hear more about @hellotohera from @jennydhlee and @alysaaco below:
