Founders Circle is a growth venture firm that “invests in people” - wholly committed to the leaders that are building today's fastest-growing companies.
Congratulations to Chris Turlica, Hugo Dozois-Caouette, and the @maintainx team on their acquisition by Autodesk in a transaction valued at approximately $3.6B. They built the connective layer for frontline operations in physical industries. We are proud to be part of their Circle.

Very excited to see our portfolio companies on the 2026 CNBC Disruptor 50, an annual list highlighting the most innovative, fastest-growing private companies.

If the first era of cloud was about centralizing compute, the next may be defined by how effectively it’s distributed.
That’s the future @armada_ai is building toward. A world where AI infrastructure can be deployed in weeks instead of years. Where it can reach remote and sensitive environments. Where enterprises and governments can run advanced workloads with total sovereignty.

The AI race is the defining race of our time. A little over three years ago, we made a bet that winning this race would require us to bridge the digital divide and deliver modular infrastructure and the latest models, full stack, anywhere in the world.
Today, we are announcing the next step in that journey with our $230M Series B funding round and Galleon Forge One. This new facility will enable us to continuously manufacture and deploy our Galleon modular data centers with speed, scale, and sovereignty.
Thank you to the Armada – our team, investors, customers, and partners – for helping us build the industrial base to win as we scale in our mission to bridge the digital divide.
Exciting news! @function’s acquisition of @getlabs points to where preventive health is headed next.
Consumer demand for early detection is rising, but the category’s next stage of growth may depend on solving the access and delivery layer.

Founded in 2017, @AppliedInt has quietly become the infrastructure layer for vehicle intelligence by powering systems across automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining, and agriculture.
Today, 18 of the top 20 global automakers and major U.S. Department of Defense programs rely on their software.
They’ve raised ~$1B and built a capital-efficient, profitable business with deep customer relationships and cross-industry expansion from day one.
Molly O'Shea and @qasar chat about:
• why physical AI is fundamentally different from software AI
• how breakthroughs like transformers unlocked real-world autonomy
• the company’s cross-industry strategy
• what it takes to deploy AI in defense and industrial environments
• how hiring changes in the AI era

At 23, @MaxJunestrand co-founded @WeAreLegora without a legal background. Now it’s a $5.55B company.
In this episode with @jaltma, he shares:
→ how they went from 40 to 400 people in a year
→ why legal work is uniquely suited for AI
→ what “AI-native from day one” actually looks like

2025 marked an inflection point for growth-stage technology.
After years of recalibration, leadership teams focused less on speed alone and more on building companies that last. AI matured from promise to practice, GTM playbooks evolved, and leadership decisions mattered more than ever.
Through The Circle, we gained an even sharper window into how high-performing leadership teams are adapting and scaling in real time.
We’ve captured the year from investments and portfolio milestones to the trends shaping what’s next in our 2025 Year in Review.
