Agree this happens much faster, but once you hit PMF. There is a full sprint and collapsed timeline on getting to $100M ARR once you have it. $100M ARR is still very early innings for company like the ones listed for many reasons, but the product and distribution of these businesses harden at escape velocity. You used to build a "mature" process and leadership team at $10M ARR, but now that often starts post-$100M. Different times and I expect that the compression will only get shorter as it gets easier to ship great products faster.

As AI agents take on more of the work that creates economic value, they generate massive amounts of production data: the clearest record of how they behave with users, software, and the real world.
Judgment builds infrastructure for improving AI agents from production data.

The more you offload context from convos to AI summary slop, the more generic your business and culture becomes. I'm v pro AI, but I think people are giving up on critical thinking and clarity to *win* in their categories vs. just showing up to do the job. The best teams are holding themselves accountable to do both well.
Congratulations to @rguldener and @NangoHQ on their fundraising round led by @GradientVC with participation from Horizon, YC, and Dynamic Growth Partners!
Has been amazing to see the consistent and strong growth at Nango building integrations for some of the strongest AI companies in the market.
Let's go!! 🚀🚀🚀
In spirit of your retain Boston talent agenda, how much does MIT intentionally try to keep its top technical talent in the Boston ecosystem after graduation, versus viewing its role as educating world-class engineers who will go wherever the best opportunities are? Curious if they feel any commitment / responsibility to the ecosystem given they play a different game. I’m assuming it’s starting to impact who attends relative to being on the west coast closer to best ecosystem.
Congratulations to Dynamic Growth Partners client, @WorkOS on raising their $100M Series C at a $2B valuation. It has been truly amazing to watch the growth and progression of this company led by @grinich on partnering with many (and soon to be all...?) of the leading AI companies.
WorkOS makes it exceptionally easy for customers to get delight from using their product, and have true empathy for the ideal developer-led motion which has put them in an incredible position to build a massive company. Has been an honor to watch the progress since we started the partnership.
