Looking forward to Beacon continuing to set the pace for this category of ai-powered holding companies.
Founding Beacon with @nilamg has been the most intense but also fulfilling time of my life. In just a year, we’ve grown to a team of 30+ and acquired dozens of mission-critical software businesses that quietly power everyday life, helping them bring AI to real-world industries.
We are deeply thankful to the entrepreneurs who have entrusted us with their life’s work and our partners at General Catalyst, Lightspeed, D1 Capital, MSD & BDT, and Sator Grove, along with our angels and advisors.
This $250M Series B fundraise enables us to increase the scale of our ambitions to build a generational AI holding company.
