Voice experiences that *actually work* are a happy consequence of modern AI models, and the team behind @MeetArc is bringing them to a drive-thru near you!

[Ali Hussain @alihussaincs]

Today @MeetArc announces our $10.76M Seed led by @a16z, with participation from @Adverbvc , Broadway Restaurant Group, and @unitedtalent.

200K US drive-thrus run on 1950s tech. Arc lets operators run them like modern digital channels: design the experience, A/B test upsell, see live AI insights.

Higher tickets. Better accuracy. Happier crews.
This is just the beginning, as we work to empower all kinds of local businesses with AI.

Grateful to be backed by investors who deeply understand local commerce, AI, and the restaurant industry. Thanks also to an amazing group of angels including @thefriley, @saumil, @henrydelouv, @Mikegagent, and @jschwarz9.

Just under a month until Humans in the Loop!

Watching the highlights from last year, I'm reminded of the incredible energy that was in the room. Based on the companies we have lined up, this year will be no different.

Space is filling up fast!

Happy birthday to me, thanks for the new ‘fit 🎂

To celebrate our 2-year anniversary, we’re re-launching Adverb Ventures' site with a fresh coat of paint! ✨Give it a look! 💚 https://t.co/TIYG9x9zLM

“Build an extraordinary company, in good company.”

This phrase, “in good company” has felt like a fitting rallying cry for us at Adverb. Even though it was just @aunder and I sitting together at my kitchen table two years ago, building Adverb has always been a team sport — from the LPs who chose to partner with us, the fellow fund managers who generously shared their hard-won wisdom, to the founders who trust us on their cap table.

Now, we’re a small but mighty crew of four with the amazing, dynamic, and talented @LizaGurtin and @Gary_Pesola joining us.

And we’ve backed 22 incredibly inspiring startups and welcomed 43 founders to our community. I’m proud of what we’ve done and even more fired up about where we’re going. 🚀

[Adverb Ventures @Adverbvc]

We love ‘em too, @Apple 💚

[Adverb Ventures @Adverbvc]

Congratulations to @TryCoveAI on their public launch today. Trying Cove for the first time is a huge step forward in the utility of LLMs for day-to-day use cases.

[Cove @TryCoveAI]

🚀 Today, we're thrilled to introduce Cove, a groundbreaking interface for thinking brilliantly with AI, and announce our seed round led by @sequoia

Cove is not a chatbot. It’s AI unconstrained by a chat thread or document editor.
