Topology

early-stage capital distorting the manifold. founded by @caseykcaruso

[Liz Dorman @lizwandersworld]

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding.

We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style.

We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today.

Welcome to the new Era.

Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

SO proud to share that @topology_vc is partnering with @merge in their seed round alongside @OpenAI

In 2023, I cold DMed @SumnerLN. I had heard him speak on ultrasound and immediately thought “this guy is a literal genius.” No surprise to hear he was teaming up with @sama ⬇️

So proud to be a partner to @WoodingtonBen and @Elise__Jenkins.

This is why venture exists.
To give remarkable people capital to build businesses that shape our future.

It starts with a tiny implant. One that requires no additional surgery. With that, tumors can be remediated with electricity. Not only are they curing cancer, they are collecting neural data we've never had access to.

This is part of the liftoff needed to build AI foundation models for the brain. A pathway to getting high quality data with low friction and high value.

Joining forces with @santiagoroel on @inversion_cap was a no brainer.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with Santiago for nearly a decade. A lot has changed over the years. His brilliance, drive, and conviction have not.

~1 decade down, many to go
