Rise of the Rest

At @Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, we back visionary founders building early-stage companies #BeyondSiliconValley.

[Rise of the Rest @RiseOfRest]

For more than a decade, we’ve tracked how venture capital flows across the U.S. and how those flows influence where innovation takes hold. A central premise: local investors help spark and sustain startup ecosystems. So how is that dynamic showing up across the country?

In our 2026 report we take a look: https://t.co/VIHhRtBwjm

[Hermeus @hermeuscorp]

We’re teaming up with @northropgrumman to bring their battle-tested mission systems to our high-Mach aircraft.

Pairing Quarterhorse's power and speed with NGMS’ advanced mission technology will expand what our aircraft can do in real-world scenarios, making them smarter and more capable for the American warfighter.

[Anders Bill @dersss]

NO ONE wants to use software. They just want to get a job done in their lives.

We just launched 'Ask Superfiliate' to do exactly that.

It brings the power of tools like Claude Cowork, directly accessible INSIDE @superfiliate .

You can Ask Superfiliate to set up a creator gifting campaign for you, ask it any question about your creator data, and even have it set up discovery agents to go find lists of new creators similar to your top performers.

You can get 100's of tasks done by Ask Superfiliate.

We believe this is the future of software.

A huge shoutout to the founders of Opa who were our partners on this @renancmw + @pKrepe

Two years ago, Hermeus hadn’t flown an aircraft. Today, we’ve reached supersonic flight, and our latest aircraft will push to Mach 2+.

Inspired by Kelly Johnson’s “one miracle per program” mantra, each Quarterhorse tackles a new set of engineering challenges and takes us one step closer to building the world's fastest operational aircraft.

We break down our rapid roadmap to high-Mach flight below.

“Optimism is at the heart of the American dream.” It’s the habit behind much of what the country has built: believing things can get better, then getting to work.

[Stord @GetSTORD]

@seanhenry on @business - why scale matters in commerce, and what AMS Fulfillment adds to Stord.

10M+ annual orders, nearly 1M+ square feet, and 20+ years of operational data join the network.

More brands bring more volume. More volume lowers costs and speeds up delivery. Every order feeds the network intelligence we build through Stord Labs. That scale and vertical integration make our flywheel spin faster, so independent brands can get Prime-level delivery without giving up their customer relationship.

[Acres ® @acres_company]

@HousingWire's The Builder's Daily's team will integrate Acres’ Homebuilder Market Intelligence through a new partnership to bring greater transparency to nationwide homebuilding activity.

[Cody Barbo @codybarbo]

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the @trustandwill Trust Company, a Nevada-chartered retail trust company with the legal authority to serve as a professional corporate trustee.

For nearly a decade, Trust & Will has helped more than one million families start their estate plans. Now the company can step into the role that matters most at the end of the process: acting as the neutral, professional fiduciary who administers a trust when the time comes. It is the natural completion of the company's mission to help every family leave their legacy.

More than 6,100 trusts now carry that designation, holding $6.5 billion in assets across more than 60,000 individual assets.

The Trust & Will Trust Company is open and serving families today, with more exciting news coming soon!

Today we closed a $400 million credit facility, led by Citi and joined by Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, at nearly double what we went out seeking.

With the Series F, that's $650 million in capital and committed credit behind Stord this year alone.

Concurrently, Bill Zerella joins as CFO and Mark Wayland joins as CRO.
