Today we're announcing our Series D: $1.37B in new capital at a $7.87B valuation to Reindustrialize America.

Thank you to all our investors. WCM Investment Management, @WashingHarbour, Valor Equity Partners, @137ventures, and @BaillieGifford led the round. @jpmorgan Chase's Strategic Investment Group acted as anchor co-lead, investing through the firm's Security and Resiliency Initiative. The round also included major participation by @1789capital, as well as participation from @MorganStanley Wealth Management, @apolloglobal, @TRowePrice, @a16z, @CapitalG, @foundersfund, @lux_capital, @AltimeterCap, @constructcap, and existing investors.

This round confirms our belief in a few simple things: America needs to Reindustrialize, Physical AI is real, transforming the world of atoms matters 100x more than the world of bits, and, most importantly, that the New American Workforce is the center of everything we do.

Here's what we've built, and what comes next.

After 15 wonderful years @generalcatalyst I am moving on to new adventures. The best days for GC are ahead! Super grateful to every single one of my teammates that I had the fortune to work with over the years. I learned a lot. Very thankful to our limited partners too for their long-term support. Equally importantly, it's been the privilege of a lifetime to work with so many inspiring tech startup founders from the very early days.

I’m launching Topology, an early-stage venture firm dedicated to frontier technology. We've raised an oversubscribed $75M Fund 1.

Topology backs founders who put everything on the line to bend the arc of human progress.

Meet us at the edge.

@nabeelqu another thing i've noticed is that these people are able to keep their lives remarkably simple even as their optionality ballons which allows them to be very aerodynamic

I’m extremely honored to be nominated by @realDonaldTrump and excited to support @RobertKennedyJr and the great people of @HHSGov to make America healthy again.

[Shayne Coplan 🦅 @shayne_coplan]

Had to see it to believe it.

Instagram, WhatsApp, Google, TikTok, YouTube, Uber

...and Polymarket.

The election will pass, but Polymarket as a format of information for the masses, and a way of thinking about current events + the future, is unquestionably here to stay.

Back at the beginning of the summer when just a couple hundred people were on @ACMomento, we really started to feel like we were onto something when we reached 10,000 Momentos.

1 MILLION Momentos later, we know we are.

A HUGE thanks to everyone who's joined the app! 🫡

We just flipped the switch on over 500 new football (soccer) leagues and competitions on @ACMomento.

Happy Friday 🫡
