Genius for a consumer fashion company to get a billboard style ad in Nolita at a fraction of traditional billboard CPM price

[Hadley Harris @Hadley]

Why is there a series A announcement on a deli in Nolita?

@abrampleta Looks great!!

We are in the @SteveStoute proclaimed 1999/2000 bubble….

Albums back then only had one or two singles but customers were still paying $20 for the record. The bubble rewarded mediocrity and artists, labels, and music execs were making a killing.

It feels eerily similar in venture now. Too many funds investing in companies without even a hit single, let alone an album. Just narrative, perception, and unintelligent FOMO.

There’s nothing better than waking up on Father’s Day to this card. Shout out to all the dads building families and businesses. Keep going.

@jayyeh The hard truth is that this doubt is held even stronger towards GPs raising funds

@MartinGTobias If he disclosed are you taking another meeting?

[Adam Gartenberg @AdamGartenberg]

@utekkare Totally agree. The interesting opportunity is turning component-level telemetry (actuator health, battery degradation, sensor drift) into actuarial models.

Anybody building insurance products for robotics - AMRs, humanoids, arms, etc..? Think FICO score for robotics.

Insurance is arguably the best biz model (second to AdWords) and current insurance products cannot underwrite and price autonomy.

Whoever builds this service also accrues the greatest AI data-set of all time: usage, cyber, open and closed-source models, tasks, maintenance, orchestration,etc. Access to all these is the only way to accurately underwrite.

If anybody is working on this - please contact.

@utekkare It seems like Captive is just the bootstrapping phase, not the equilibrium. You still need third-party benchmarks or robots never become broadly insurable but just financed.

Great partners

@deployconduit @sahilpat31 Happy bday legend!

@CGarrett_15 I remember you telling me at Blue Bottle years ago that SpaceX would be largest company in the world one day. I didn’t see it. You did. BLT!

Congrats @ManevaAI team on this Series A 🚀 @640oxford is proud to be an early investor.

Maneva's magic is a tech stack that combines the latest computer vision models and reinforcement learning that's completely hardware agnostic - compatible with those fossil-like Axis 210 cameras!

This removes the historical barriers that's prevented manufacturer's from adopting new technology - (1) proprietary hardware; (2) long & expensive custom training runs; and (3) system integrators to activate the technology. ROI can be demonstrated in just weeks!

Combining this technology with a sales motion that speaks to manufacturer's soul - true understanding and empathy for factory-floor operations and a founding team that's previously worked on the assembly lines they're now optimizing.

We're hiring for every major function and looking to connect with manufacturers across confectionary, steel, glass, wood, meat processing, cosmetics, distribution, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

[Maneva @ManevaAI]

Maneva has raised $27M in Series A led by @USVenturePartners, with continued backing from existing investors @BlingCapital, @FreestyleCapital, and several others. Our total capital raised now sits at $38.4M.

Global manufacturing runs at 60% efficiency against a $46T industry. That's $18T lost every year from lack of visibility and the right tools.

Our Video-to-Action AI turns existing factory cameras into real-time operational decisions, powered by deep learning vision and agentic systems that act, coordinate, and optimize the entire operation.

A special thank you to @mdgarratt and the @USVenturePartners team for leading this round. To our customers, partners, and investors: thank you for believing in what's possible on the factory floor.

Every company is struggling with paying for the Ferrari model when they usually only need a Prius. The transparency on token spending / allotment will only increase when the labs go public.

Nobody has been thinking about this more than @tomas_hk and he’s built the preeminent model routing company @notdiamond_ai

[Tomas Hernando Kofman @tomas_hk]

A token is not a unit of value. It is no better a measure of value than word count is an effective measure of the value of a book. A token is a container for value, in which data is acted on to produce intelligence. Intelligence is the unit of value; computation is the price. https://t.co/tHdIzpJi5a

All this VC discourse on X right now but did your tier 1 VC drive to the Detroit airport at 2pm on a Monday to pick you up
