Inspired by @ColeRotman, we looked at the seed rounds of all the AI Unicorns founded post transformer. Interestingly, none have come out of YC, and no one except a16z has led or co-led more than 2 seeds. ~20% of the founders pivoted to their current businesses.

“Alberta has the potential to be one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing data center markets, driven by rising demand for AI technologies.“

Another data centre coming to Alberta! Nadia Partners and Beacon AI Centers are creating more data centre and AI capacity, and that’s just the start!

This is one of those cliche funding announcement posts paired with a handful of thank you's.

🔥 @ShenLucinda at @axios covered our funding announcement - $3M seed round led by @FinVentureCap and YC to build an AI-powered bookkeeping and finance solution for startups.

🚀 First round of thanks go to our 50 customers - folks like @peterfishman at @MozartData and @tomhadfield at @mio - thank you for being the earliest believers and working with us to ensure we deliver the best bookkeeping and finance experience.

💯 Our investors are fantastic. With all the sparring on twitter, I want to thank my friends at @ycombinator. I'm lucky to experience YC twice, with @snowmaker the first time and @bradflora the second time. Their conviction is second to none, always always being the first check in. And they always respond within the hour. Startups move fast, we can't be waiting and they understand that.

Startups bring the latest technologies to humanity in a usable way. Building with the Y Canopy crew, collaborating with our batchmates, and servicing our customers, we see many people working on the coolest, most amazing things.

⛵ AI-powered bookkeeping and finance is our contribution to this movement. @truewindai uses LLMs to put your accounting and finance needs on auto pilot, giving you peace of mind to focus on finding product market fit. Ultimately building the AI Copilot for Accountants and Financial Analysts.

Come work with us and join our community of happy startup founders building the future.

I need to stop buying “_____ Risk Management Department” swag any time there’s a market failure. Getting too pricey
