We at @Haladirofficial just raised our seed round, bringing our total amount of funding to $4.3M to build operational superintelligence. Led by @BoxGroup and @SusaVentures, with participation from @seedtosunflower, @Valkyrie_vc, XPRESS Ventures, and various angels, with prior round funding from @ycombinator and @svangel, and our first believer, @Joshuabrowder.

[Basis @trybasis]

We've raised $100m at a $1.15b valuation from @Accel, @GVteam, and existing investors to accelerate deployment of the most capable and accurate accounting agents across CAS, tax, audit, and advisory.

Basis is used by 30% of the Top 25 accounting firms and dozens more across the Top 150.

Today we're announcing the first accounting agent to complete a business tax workbook end-to-end.

Our focus on production-grade, long-horizon agents means that 12 months from now, the work Basis handles will make even this look routine.

We're looking for a few very intense people who want to build at the frontier.

[David Tisch @davidtisch]

BoxGroup is excited to continue to be in the business of funding early stage ambitious founders building products they dream about - we've raised two new funds, each $275m, to give to founders as early as possible @BoxGroup

The first dog in our pivotal lifespan extension study STAY has been dosed - meet Boo the whippet!

The study will be over 1,000 dogs, 55 clinical sites, about 4 years --> afaik, this is one of the largest animal health clinical trials ever run, even by the pharmas (!)

[David Tisch @davidtisch]

Spent an hour chatting with @HarryStebbings on @twentyminutevc - he gets feisty… we touch on starting a company and the risk founders take (hard), VC math (boring), and other semi interesting topics. Give it a listen - https://t.co/cqO80Nht0Z

[Celine Halioua @celinehalioua]

We've raised another $27M!

Our goal: develop FDA-approved drugs to extend dog healthspan (quality of life) + lifespan (years of life)

Our meta-goal: dog aging learnings --> human aging drugs

We’re not talking enough about the Skilled Labor Gap.

What is it?

Long story short, the U.S. doesn't have enough skilled tradespeople to support the large investments that are expected to happen across infrastructure in the coming years.
