Lucky enough to have @DroneDeploy and @fin_ai close this week. Happy for both teams but genuinely sad to no longer work with @mikewinn and @eoghan. Two examples of savvy big company SaaS acquirers (@procoretech and @salesforce) leaning into AI with acquisitions that can meaningfully move the needle. Congrats to all.

[DroneDeploy @DroneDeploy]

At @stepconference SF last week, Scale Partner @jkauf_mann spoke on how founders pick a first GTM motion. @webflow CRO @AdrianKranz and @chargebee CMO @Guy_Marion joined him on what has to change once paying customers arrive.

Thanks to Brian Sparkes and the Step SF team for having us. A few snapshots below!

[Rory O'Driscoll @rodriscoll]

Last week, I sat down with @nicckopp, CEO of @RilletHQ, and Ali Hussain, CEO of @get_tabs, to discuss the next generation of AI-enabled financial software.

What wins deals: While AI has hit the CFO stack, replacing an ERP is too consequential for an AI story alone. Application merit still wins. The depth of the accounting workflows, controls, integrations, and overall product must stand up against systems that have been entrenched for decades.

What's next: Auditability may be the key to unlocking agentic finance. The ability to not just execute work but also show exactly how it was done is what allows teams to trust AI with progressively more responsibility. This means that instead of automating one workflow completely end-to-end, the opportunity lies in breaking complex work into two- or three-step workflows where every action, assumption, and output is visible and verifiable.

Thanks to all who joined us, and to Nick and Ali! It's always a pleasure to discuss the future of the market with the founders building it.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by. See you all at the next one!

Congratulations to @nicckopp and the @RilletHQ team on their $100M Series C!

Rillet is rebuilding the ERP from the ground up for the AI era. For more than a decade, the office of the CFO has implemented software workflow-by-workflow, leading to a constellation of software around the ERP with increasingly shaky integrations.

Rillet is doing something more ambitious: rebuilding the general ledger as the place where financial professionals and AI agents run finance together.

Rillet’s recent momentum reflects the product's magic. New ARR doubled over the last quarter, and the company now serves more than 600 customers, including public companies and large enterprises.

We're proud to back them as they double down on building the finance infrastructure that brings AI into the core of finance operations.

We're excited to announce the promotion of @siddharthvader_ to Partner!

Siddharth invests in AI infrastructure, applications, and physical AI, partnering with founders building across both software and the physical world.

Congratulations, Siddharth.

[Nicolas Kopp @nicckopp]

Today we're announcing our $100M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @ICONIQCapital. It's our third round in 14 months and brings our total funding to over $200m

The round came together in less than 48 hours.

We weren't planning to raise. Then new ARR doubled last quarter and we crossed 600+ customers including public companies and enterprises with $2B in revenue. Rillet AI agent usage is growing 70% each month and CFOs are replacing Oracle Fusion, SAP and Workday to run their companies on Rillet.

We also announced our alliance with EY and officially partnered with more than half of the top 20 CPA firms.

@RilletHQ is creating an entirely new category of finance infrastructure. With Rillet, the ERP becomes the harness for the modern finance organization, where people and agents share the same financial data, apply the same accounting policies and controls, and work from a single, continuously updated view of the business. Agents perform increasingly complex financial work, while finance teams retain visibility, approval authority and a complete audit trail.

Thank you to our customers for believing in the mission and building the future of finance with us. We could not do this without you.

Thank you to the Rillet team. As I say often, building Rillet is our own version of sending rockets to Mars. It is incredibly difficult. You make it look easy.

Finally, thank you to our investors. To ICONIQ for leading the round and to our existing and new investors for building with us. @sequoia , @a16z, Sequoia Global Equities, @BainCapVC, @oakhcft, @BatteryVentures, @FirstMarkCap, @scalevp, and @creandum.

Back to work :)

Congratulations to the @coderabbitai team on their $143 million Series C!

Scale led CodeRabbit’s Series B less than a year ago. Since then, the company has grown revenue more than 5x year-over-year.

Co-Founder & CEO @harjotsgill talks with Scale investor @avitus about CodeRabbit's work "continuously shipping the future" of coding.

[Harjot Gill @harjotsgill]

We've raised a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation.

In 2023 we spent our time arguing that AI code needed its own reviewer. That argument is over. The work now is moving into the change itself.

This is where we think Agentic Change Management comes in. https://t.co/TAeW1c1W9k

[CodeRabbit @coderabbitai]

We raised a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation to build the control layer for software change.

Our first investor got involved for a totally different reason.
