Microsoft’s boardroom at a defining moment for AI. The stewardship of Harvard. The work of rebuilding Ukraine’s economy. Few people have held a vantage point like Penny Pritzker’s, and I have the privilege of calling her my friend and every day partner at @InspiredCap.

Congrats to the @standinsurance team on their $70M Series C at a $1B valuation! Since backing Stand in 2024, we’ve watched them rebuild home insurance from first principles, using physics and AI to simulate how each home will perform in a wildfire, hurricane, and beyond, then helping make it more resilient.

With a billion-dollar weather disaster now striking the U.S. every 10 days, insurance can’t keep pricing risk by looking backward. Stand’s approach is working, now insuring more than $10B in property, up from $1B a year ago.

We’re so excited to keep backing @danpres, @jasonxmueller, @samshank, and @billclerico as they build the future of home insurance.

[Dan Preston @danpres]

Today @standinsurance announced $70M at a $1B valuation, led by @Saga_Ventures. A year ago, we insured $1B of property. Today it's $10B. Disasters follow the laws of physics. Insurance should too. Here's what our team is building:

AI agents can do a lot, but they still hit a wall when the work moves into the real world.

Someone has to make the call, handle the payment, confirm the booking, or run the errand. That is the problem our portfolio company @duckbillai has been solving behind the scenes, powering 30M+ real-world interactions for several of the AI agents you may already use. Today they're opening it up to everyone as @getseaworthy, a single API integration that lets any agent complete real-world tasks reliably and at scale, with humans as the backstop.

We're proud to back the team and excited to see what builders do with it. If you're building agents, or know someone who is, we'd love to make an introduction!

[Seaworthy @getseaworthy]

Seaworthy is live.

One API that lets your AI agent make phone calls, payments, and run errands in the real world. Already powering AI assistants you love, now available to everyone.
