[Brett Calhoun @brettcalhounn]

Founders in networks get funded faster.

Not because they're better, but because someone already vouched for them.

If founders truly understood this, they'd fundraise differently.

[Agentcard @agentcardhq]

Browse with @browser_use, pay with @agentcardhq

We are happy to announce our new integration, now companies can navigate with Browser Use and pay with Agentcard.

Shuo Wang (@shuooo) explains why Dyson’s new $500 toothbrush is actually worth the money:

“My first company, I was inspired by James Dyson.”

“He's just obsessed with solving a very specific engineering problem and then making that product perfect.”

“I'm going to be client #1.”

YC explains why @noxmetals is growing so fast.

[Tristan Comte @tristan_cte]

We got https://t.co/bBYi8DVRHz! My two arguments for it:

1/ Paul Graham, August 2015: a startup should own the .com of its name. 11 years later, for an AI company, that's the .ai

2/ You can't put https://t.co/poaUmQratl on a billboard

[Aditya Thakur @AdityaThakurGG]

Excited to announce that we've raised $2.65M from @Accel and Google's @AIFuturesFund to re-imagine how enterprise software is maintained.

Just this year, @getdodgeai has helped teams running SAP, Oracle Fusion, JD Edwards, and more save more than 26,000 hours previously billed by outsourced firms.

This round was co-led by @Accel & Google's @AIFuturesFund, with participation from NewBuild Venture Capital, @AntlerGlobal, Schema Ventures, and angels from the SAP ecosystem.

For the better part of the last 3 decades, enterprises have adopted mission-critical software called an ERP to track finances, logistics, discounts, inventory, and more.

All of these systems become super customized, and there's an entire industry that implements them: the system integration industry.

After you go live, the problem doesn't stop there.

As the company evolves, you want these systems to change with it. At the same time, you also have to firefight all the daily operational incidents that happen within these systems.

What ends up happening today is that enterprises end up spending more than $600 billion a year just maintaining ERPs!

The traditional solution for enterprises has been to partner with these large outsourcing companies and throw 20 to 50 "consultants" at the problem.

With always-on agents becoming a reality today, we think there is a better solution that combines both the functional expertise of the humans who have been holding the industry together with long-horizon agents that capture context across systems and custom processes.

Dodge AI is already working with dozens of enterprises, most of whom are publicly listed companies across the world, to show them a better way.

Excited to partner with @prayanks, @JRSilber, @nitinsharma1, @aarthir, @rohini_c, and more.

Back to work now!

I kept watching InstaCloud's project count climb during YC. 30k, then 40k, then 50k.

I reached out to @hanghuang_ . He replied in 2 minutes. Turns out he and his cofounder @tonychang430 compete to answer customers even faster.

Today, InsForge becomes InstaCloud with an $8M seed. Proud to be an investor and in their corner.

Today I’m excited to re-introduce @FerndeskHQ!

The first help center that never goes out of date.

At my last company, we shipped new product incredibly quickly. But as a small team, we never had the bandwidth to keep our docs up to date. We wanted to spend less time in support and more time growing the business, but our docs were a bottleneck.

So I set out to build a docs platform that keeps up with you.

Today, Ferndesk saves 100+ SaaS teams 20-50 hours/mo on docs, and counting.

In year two, we're going to help 1,000.

[Jamie Marsland - Head of WordPress YouTube ❤️ @pootlepress]

Opus 5.5 and Woo is 🔥

I asked Claude to help my WooCommerce shop sell more with 5 easy prompts.

Bigger orders, product pairings, better descriptions, instant sales and weekly reports.

New video coming out this week 💪

Anyone else doing things like this with Woo + Claude?

[Ken Wattana @KenWattana]

Agents are paying. Now what?

Today we're launching @contofinance, payment controls for AI agents that move money and buy things.

With Conto, you decide how much your agent can spend, who it can pay, and when it needs to ask you first.

Let your users transact with trust

[Fred Wilson @fredwilson]

Agentic investing just got an exciting new entrant called @supertake created by @mignano and incubated by @usv. The wait-list is at https://t.co/T8FHL4keE9.

[hidecloud @hidecloud]

This video was made with Manus Studio, with some human touch from @Nin19536.

If someone had told me three months ago that an agent could make a launch video like this, I wouldn’t have believed them.

And yet, here we are.

[Pond AI @JoinPond]

We are expanding.

Today we welcome @PaulinaStern_ to Pond, leading GTM.

Excited to have her helping more businesses discover what's possible when AI agents and human experts work on real tasks together.

Welcome to the team, Paulina 🎉
