Thrilled to publicly announce what we’ve been working on @TryMinervaAI for the past three years! We’re sharing a few things today, but expect more throughout the week!
We’ve taken a largely unconventional approach to building Minerva: build value first, build hype second. Excited to start sharing more with the public! More info below 👇
Early last year I had the privilege of leading @noondesign’s initial round of financing and partnering with two founders looking to tackle one of the most ambitious problems in product design. What started as an investment quickly turned into a much deeper collaboration. I'm excited to share that I joined the Noon team last year to build alongside @bandiaditya , @kushagrasinha7 and the incredible team they’ve assembled.
Product designers today are caught between a canvas and code. Design lives in one place, production code lives in another. Everything in between is translation and that’s where things break.
Noon is the first design tool rebuilt from the ground up that works entirely on your product code, so you can design how it looks and how it works. With AI that works in seconds, not minutes.
We’ve quietly been working with a number of leading designers and are excited to open up access soon. If you’re a designer, or know a designer that wants to get early access, we can’t wait to show you what we’re up to.
Grateful to @chemistry@firstround@ScribbleVC@AforeVC@svangel@soleio@joulee@iansilber@lil_dill@johnnie and the many others who believed in us early.
We raised $6.5M to build the agent for professionals.
When your reputation is on the line, you need an agent that's reliable, secure, and one step ahead.

Graphite is joining Cursor!
We’ve long dreamed of connecting the surfaces where we create, collaborate on, and validate code changes, and this deal brings that ambition to life.
Graphite's product and brand aren't going anywhere, and the entire team is joining Cursor to continue our work with far greater resources.
The future of code review has never been brighter!
We just raised our $75M Series C led by @stepstonegroup, making @ScribeHow a $1.3B unicorn.
But that’s not the part I’m most proud of.
The funding isn’t the story — what we DO with it is.
I set out to change how the world actually works.
I started Scribe with one belief:
Everyone deserves to do their best work.
That belief sparked an entire movement.
Today, Scribe helps 5 million people at 600,000 companies ensure work gets done right.
But we’re just getting started —
I spoke with Fortune about transforming
how the world works with AI and
the fundraise that powers Scribe to do it even faster.
Every leader wants to make work better
(and often has AI mandates to do so).
But even AI can’t optimize what it can’t see.
That all changes in 2 days.
We’re announcing something big.
Something that will completely reshape
the foundation of all enterprise AI strategies.
Be the first to find out and join me Wednesday for the reveal.

Let’s build the future of work together 🚀
I love being part of the firm that partnered with @TurbineOneTech
American soldiers will carry AI in their pockets, the result of a $98.9 million contract between the U.S. Army and TurbineOne.
Meaningful work. More to do. (Cc @thegp ) https://t.co/pn4SoTQ26B
We're honored to be featured on @Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Startups list.
Thank you to everyone joining us in shaping the future of software development.
News! We just launched “The General Podcast” 🎙️
It’s a ‘hostless' show that pairs tech and business leaders together for honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about building:
🎙️ Ep 1: Katie Dill (@lil_dill) x Randy Hunt (@randyjhunt)
🎙️ Ep 2: A healthcare journalist x a Pulitzer Prize-winning author
🎙️ Ep 3: Two rising media founders
🎙️ Ep 4: Two legendary COOs
And many more. So why are we doing this?
The best conversations don’t happen in interviews. They happen between peers—people solving similar problems, or shaped by shared experience across an entire career.
We built a show around that. Listen 👇
T-3 days! The Codegen Speed Trials are happening THIS Saturday, 6/28 in SF.

You’re an engineer. You’ve got 5 hours. What can you build with a strong AI copilot?

Major congrats to @IanJKalin, Matt Amacker, and the @TurbineOneTech team on this huge milestone.
TurbineOne is bringing AI to the tactical edge—giving warfighters real-time, in-field decision-making power without needing the cloud.
Proud to have backed them from day one when they were building the company inside TheGP to leading today’s Series B. 👏👏👏
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on building a complete stateful OpenAI agent.
(If you know Python, this is all you need to learn to build a working agent in an hour, including complete explanations of every component.)
This agent:
• It's conversational
• Has persistent memory
• Can use external tools
This tutorial uses Pixelagent, a fully open-source agent engineering blueprint.
Pixelagent is at the intersection of an LLM, storage, and orchestration. You can use it with the following features:
• Supports automated data orchestration
• Multimodal with support for text, images, audio, etc.
• Handles OpenAI and Anthropic message protocols
• Supports tool integrations
• Supports reasoning, reflection, memory, knowledge, and team workflows
Pixelagent is built on top of Pixeltable's declarative framework, which unifies data storage, retrieval, and orchestration. I'm pasting a link below to show an end-to-end live agent built on top of this framework.
We’re excited to announce Sunflower Capital Funds I and II. Sunflower is a $250m fund that partners at the earliest stage with companies building foundations for modern enterprises, critical industries, and the physical world.
