@theficouple this is embarrassing

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

This company is so futuristic it has already won awards in the future

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@chrispisarski 15 mins? So they had 2 deals to discuss?

This is the original thesis for @Singulate_ai - deep personalization is the natural next chapter in AI evolution for B2C and B2B

[Brett Adcock @adcock_brett]

Today I'm excited to share that Hark has raised $700M at a $6B valuation

When I use these AI models today, they feel basic. They should be able to listen and talk naturally, understand vision, retain persistent memory, and become deeply personalized over time. They should be able to see the world, interact with it, and take action

To build that future, the capital we raised today will be used to:
→ scale our GPU infrastructure
→ accelerate future AI model development
→ grow the Hark team from ~70 to 200 engineers
→ design and build the next generation of AI hardware

The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global

At Hark, we are building the most advanced personal intelligence in the world. Intelligence that begins to think like you and sometimes, ahead of you to offload your mental workload

@chefsevenn What is this doing in there?

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@SarcashticKv @Hania16836 Clearly you don’t go out much 🤣

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@jonrobflaig @paulg It’s my goal in life to overtake that Dave Schools in search results

So far I’m losing 🤣

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@jonrobflaig @paulg Agree with taste. Also strong sense of “vision” - a way the world ought to be

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@Toribabieegirl Trick question - there is no perfect partner and if you can read minds you can make way more than $20k/mo, affording unlimited food and skincare

@Beno10_MFC Got 962 by moving only one stick

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@jasonlk what about what the service costs?

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

Singulate just had it's best month ever (again)

- 6-figure new ARR growth
- Released Agentic Segmentation
- Released Singulate Analytics

***

What's working:

Having enriched data is Step 1. That's easy. Tons of companies are focused on this problem.

Step 2 is using that data to send reliably good 1:1 personalized messaging at scale.

Everyone claims this. Everyone immediately thinks sales outreach.

But we're the only one's doing this for marketing automation & email nurtures in a way that solves the LLM scalability problem.

LLM scalability problem:

- variability and inconsistency at scale
- expensive token waste
- the larger the prompt, the more prone to errors
- "sounds like AI" copywriting

Singulate's approach:

- deterministic outputs
- cost-efficiency (no token waste)
- modular agentic strategies
- fine-tuned model training

(integrates with HubSpot, Marketo, & Pardot)

@JoshuaBarzon 1 and 4 have too many lines - details will be lost in small form factors, eg., browser tab icons

2 is missing a message - too generic to be recognized

3 simply keeps the cross central 🎯

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@prudent_AI @adcock_brett I think it's because it's not running 24/7, likely just during the work day

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@nahuelhilal @Tesla I own a model Y. This is very exaggerated

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

I'm sitting on one that could be huge - already over 1m downloads and strong SEO

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@OryenDigital @Apple @AnthropicAI Yup

[Dave Schools @DaveSchoools]

@Austen Do you have kids?
