It's not every day you get to celebrate such a major achievement.
It's hard to believe it all started 11 years ago when @peter_wagner and I met @mohitaron and chose to move forward with a partnership between @Wing_VC and @Cohesity .
I could not be prouder to have been part of this partnership, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the dozens of individuals across many teams who have worked tirelessly to bring this to fruition.
Here's to welcoming a new era in data security and management! https://t.co/mW7qHxMuA0
Structured data is the largest data modality on earth, and yet no one has built the foundation model for it.
Each of those numbers is a decision waiting to happen, from a machine heading for failure to inventory about to run dry.
That’s why we backed @Synthefy and led the company’s $6.5M seed round.
Language had its moment. Structured data is next.
Congrats to @somi_synthefy and the team. I wrote more about why we invested and the opportunity ahead. https://t.co/ncUA5oB2UK
Today we are introducing Tara.
Biological datasets are a source of insights and a means to train biological AI models. As the ability to reason at scale emerges, they take on a new role: the ground truth for testing what reasoning models produce, and the environment in which those models operate, get feedback, and improve.
Tara, our autonomous research agent, is embedded in our ever-expanding datasets, lab-generated and synthetic, and built to test and evolve the hypotheses frontier models generate, matching the pace at which they produce new ideas.
By keeping those models grounded in a vast space of high-precision biological data, we believe we can compound biological reasoning and close the impedance mismatch between hypothesis generation and validation.
Today we're releasing Synthefy Nori: a tabular foundation model for structured data.
→ Ranks #1 on aggregate across 96 datasets, ahead of TabPFN-3
> Beats tuned XGBoost & LightGBM on ~80% benchmark datasets, with zero training or tuning
→ 6M parameters, ~1/10 the size of its nearest peers
→ Fully open source: weights, inference, training code
Pass your labeled rows as context, get predictions back in seconds. No training. No tuning.
Built for the predictions businesses run on (demand planning, risk, pricing, churn, conversion)

Going to go live on Substack with @peter_wagner of @Wing_VC to talk about the ET30 list in 5 minutes at 2:45p ET.
Newcomer subscribers will get an email!
The 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 is live. If you want to know where enterprise tech is headed, this is where I'd start. @Wing_VC and @EricNewcomer have put together a strong class this year. The companies on this list are building what's next. I've watched enterprise software evolve for decades. The pace of change right now is unlike anything I've seen. This cohort reflects that.

Forces are converging to disrupt the traditional pharma playbook: consumers demanding to be more empowered in their health, unequivocal scientific data about the role of our daily habits on health outcomes published every week, AI delivering unprecedented opportunities for hyper-personalization, self-insured employers alarmed by rising healthcare costs and open to new models, and the health leadership in Washington driving changes on pricing.
It’s clear the new pharma playbook of tomorrow is emerging, and it was great to kick off the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference at @Wing_VC's event in @SFMOMA’s beautiful theater by talking to three of the bold leaders shaping it: @maziardoustdar, President and CEO of @novonordisk, Julie Kim, CEO-Elect of Takeda, and Chris Boerner, CEO and Board Chair of @bmsnews.
I loved hearing how they’re thinking about marrying medicines with services to drive the best patient outcomes, the role of our daily behaviors on everything from obesity to inflammation to brain health, and how to move beyond pharma’s transactional role to become a true and trusted partner on patients’ health journeys. #JPM26
Thrilled to welcome @sunilpotti to @Wing_VC as our newest Venture Partner. I’ve known Sunil for over a decade - a rare builder who combines deep technical insight with the intuition of a founder!
We’re thrilled to welcome @sunilpotti to Wing Venture Capital as our newest Venture Partner! 👏
Sunil led Google Cloud’s Security business, helped scale Nutanix, and built products at Citrix, F5 & Cisco.
He’ll focus on infrastructure, app enablement, and security — helping founders go from zero to one and beyond. 🚀
