What an incredible day.

Yesterday, we brought together 150+ AI CEOs in NYC with the FirstMark community.

A huge thank you to the founders who joined us - the energy, ambition, and depth of discussion in the room reflected just how quickly this AI wave is reshaping company building across every layer of the stack.

Grateful to everyone who made the day so thoughtful and high-signal.

NYC AI is cooking!

[FirstMark @FirstMarkCap]

Yesterday, 150+ AI CEOs gathered in NYC for AI✦NY — an off-the-record summit focused on the most critical challenges defining this moment in AI.

Three acquisitions in two months.

Today, @WeAreLegora is announcing our third acquisition: Graceview, a regulatory horizon scanning platform covering 100+ jurisdictions in real time.
That's the kind of coverage that was simply impossible to build manually.

Full story below:

Just went to visit Legora. Most impressive startup I've been to visit in years. They're going to surpass Harvey in 2027. After that their only potential rivals will be the model companies. And if ever there was a territory you could defend against the model companies, law is it.

Huge congratulations to @FirstMarkCap portfolio companies @WeAreLegora and @synthesiaIO on being named to the 2026 Forbes AI 50!

Well deserved recognition for two exceptional teams building impactful, category-defining businesses and executing at an extraordinary level

Grateful to be on the journey with you both and excited for what’s ahead!

Agentic Infrastructure is the future of the cloud

① For coding agents
If you use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, you need infra that 'clicks' for your agents, not just devs.

② To deploy agents
Pages → Agents. Long-running compute, sandboxes, and our token delivery network are the building blocks of this new kind of software.

③ Itself an agent
Vercel is beloved because it's self-configuring (serverless). Add to that: self-healing, self-optimizing, self-securing. The agent holds the pager.

⟁ It's a triple-entendre that works. I highly recommend the read. Agentic Infrastructure will make existing companies more efficient and support the next generation of AI-native startups.

Congratulations to @ClickHouseDB , @WeAreLegora , and @vercel on being named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30! These teams are building category-defining businesses across data, dev infra, and AI-native workflows, and executing at an exceptional level - well deserved!!

Grateful to be on the journey with all of you. Excited for what’s ahead.

[Max Junestrand @MaxJunestrand]

I want to take a moment to recognize a gravity-defying achievement by the entire @WeAreLegora team.

We have grown from $1M to $100M in annual recurring revenue in just under 18 months.

In this time, we've grown into a truly global company with over 400 colleagues - and built the platform where legal work happens. Powering more than 1,000 teams worldwide.

It is all about the people, and I couldn’t be prouder of the Legora team and thankful to our customers and partners.

This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.

[David Eckstein @davidneckstein]

In under 18 months, @WeAreLegora have scaled from $1M to $100M in ARR, a milestone that almost no enterprise software companies reach so quickly.

Legal AI is now entering the 1 to 10 phase, where agents, automation, and entirely new workflows will redefine what’s possible.

[Arnav Bimbhet @abimbhet]

Thrilled that we at @FirstMarkCap are doubling down and leading @poshvip_ ’s $37M Series B. Huge congrats to @AvantePrice and the incredible Posh team.

Posh is redefining how people create and discover meaningful IRL experiences while building for a future where connectors, community-builders, and culture-shapers have the tools to thrive.

The future belongs to the connectors!

@rick @vverawang

[Avante Price @AvantePrice]

I'm excited to announce Posh’s $37M Series B, led by @FirstMarkCap.

6 years ago, people told us a better events platform was a solved problem. 8m users and $350M in GMV later, we're just getting started.

@rauchg @vercel Huge congrats @mitchellh @rauchg @vercel!! Few people have done more to shape modern dev infra, so this is a pretty special moment. Excited for what’s ahead!

[Arnav Bimbhet @abimbhet]

@davidneckstein @MaxJunestrand @siggelabor @WeAreLegora @FirstMarkCap Fired up to be on this journey with you and the team. LFG!

[Arnav Bimbhet @abimbhet]

Thrilled to partner with @MaxJunestrand, @siggelabor, @davidneckstein, Pat, Jacob and the entire @WeAreLegora team as they build the legal operating system for the AI era!

Legal work demands judgment, precision, and trust. What’s exciting about this moment is that AI can actually support that work in a meaningful way, helping legal teams move faster, navigate complexity, and deliver high-quality work without compromising rigor.

That’s a big part of why we’re so excited about Legora. They’re building the leading platform around how legal work actually gets done.
