Today, I’m proud to announce @DayOneVC’s $150M fund III that brings our AUM to over $450M.

Our north star remains the same: we will keep betting on the most exceptional founders of our time working on the biggest ideas possible.

State of the art coding results from a model small enough to run on a macbook pro

[World @worldnetwork]

In 2024, an employee at engineering firm Arup transferred $25.6 million after joining a video call where every other participant was a deepfake. Since then, AI has advanced significantly and is making impersonation increasingly convincing, causing challenges for financial institutions in particular. As autonomous agents begin handling more financial activity on behalf of people, establishing an added layer of trust and security behind a transaction or sensitive conversation is becoming an urgent need.

Introducing @world_id for banking and finance, a suite of technologies that helps institutions establish trust through privacy-preserving cryptographic Proofs. World ID for Zoom lets meeting participants confirm they are the same Orb-verified human connected to their account, while World ID for agents allows AI agents to carry Proofs delegated by people. Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital, and VanEck Funds are initial design partners, bringing World ID into some of finance's most consequential interactions.

66 years separated the Wright brothers' first flight and the moon landing.

2 years separated Affiniti launching our credit card and today's launch of our full financial operating system.

Relentless people build America. They use Affiniti as their financial operating system.

Big fan of Atlas as one of their first customers—it’s the number one fintech consumer product of our time since Robinhood and Revolut.

An even bigger fan as an early investor who kept betting on them through some insane pivots.

[Atlas @atlascard]

We’re proud to announce our $40M funding round led by @eladgil and Verified Capital, alongside @01Advisors and @MarathonMP. This capital will expand our foundation, advancing in-house technology and operations, and enhancing our dining, lifestyle and travel offering.

NEW: Four years ago, fintech startup Atlas looked like it was on the brink of collapse. Today, tech billionaires are lining up to pay $1,000 a year for its card: https://t.co/fY1nKgTMDl.

Today @YuzuHealthInc announces our Series A!

Our mission is to bring trust and agency back to health insurance.

Thank you to our customers, partners, and team who made this possible!

Blog and hiring link in the comments.

[Masha Bucher @mashadrokova]

Yuzu is one of the steadiest, most consistent and driven teams I’ve worked with, and masters of compounding. It attacked health insurance with first-principles innovation to bring it into the modern age and make healthcare accessible as a result. Lucky to be an early backer.

[Avante Price @AvantePrice]

I'm excited to announce Posh’s $37M Series B, led by @FirstMarkCap.

6 years ago, people told us a better events platform was a solved problem. 8m users and $350M in GMV later, we're just getting started.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Excited for this! I think it is by far the most interesting approach of any BCI effort.

[Masha Bucher @mashadrokova]

The next era of humanity begins with merging mind and machine —unlocking our ability to create without limits and true agency.

No team is better suited to realize this future. Thrilled to back @merge and join forces again with Alex, Sam, Sandro and their brilliant co-founders.

If patients can’t get through on the phone, they can’t get care

Leaving waiting on hold in 2025

Tivara is fixing the front door of healthcare—proud to be backing @tejseelamsetty & team

[Tej Seelamsetty @tejseelamsetty]

1/5 America spends $450B a year on healthcare admin, yet patients still wait an hour on hold. Phones ring nonstop. Medical front desks are understaffed.

We built Tivara to fix it
Launching publicly today 🧵
