More than 700 people asked for a seat at the fireside on Monday night, in a room that holds 80.
The ones who got in heard @shaunmmaguire say that before he'd trust an agent with sensitive data, the first thing he'd want is a backup.
(We promise we did not write his answers.)
Ron Kimchi, our Co-Founder and CTO, was asked where engineering effort gets wasted in AI, and his answer was "talk less, build more."
Era went live that same morning and is free at https://t.co/KTZIElWQuv.
Thank you to everyone who came and shared this amazing night with us
You can’t safely test an enterprise agent on a real company’s data.
So we built a company for it to work in.
Era is live today, and it’s free.
It generates a complete simulated enterprise that behaves like a real one across Salesforce, Slack, Jira, Zendesk, Gong, Deel and more, along with cloud databases and storage. Agents interact with it through live MCP and API interfaces.
People leave. Deals change. Records get duplicated. Permissions differ across systems. And because Era generated the company, it knows the exact ground truth.
Test, benchmark and improve agents against realistic enterprise workloads, use the failures for targeted post-training, then rerun the same environment to measure the impact.
Huge thanks to our research partners @NVIDIA, @Decart, @Composio, @openlayerco, @Deel, @Eragon and @Plurai, with more coming soon.
The Gisele Pelicot case is one of the times I truly believe the guillotine should make a reappearance in the french justice system because 20 years is not enough for her husband
The Israel beeper attack was just 30 days ago
Since then all of Hezbollah leadership in Lebanon has been decapitated and the head of Hamas is Gaza was killed
What a month
For my American friends who are just waking up, let me summarize to you the events of the last hour.
Across Lebanon, the pagers of thousands of Hezbollah terrorists mysteriously exploded injuring or killing 1,200 of them including the Iranian ambassador.
The devices were only in use for the last few months, which begs the question of how Israel did this.
This, as a friend of mine said, might be the biggest and most successful military operation in history with the least amount of civilian casualties.
More information soon as this story develops but by now, we can safely say, the IDF pulled off an incredible operation just now.
Someone shared this photo of a message just sent in a WhatsApp group. 😂😂
Women founders have been reaching out to me over the past 24 hours about how they don’t have permission to run their companies in Founder Mode the same way men can. This needs to change
Ceasefire?
We walked onto cattle cars while you watched.
We returned to our slaughter on ships that you turned away.
We waited in line to use your “showers.”
1.5 million of our children were exterminated because of your indifference.
2 out of every 3 of us in Europe disappeared and you deny our genocide.
This time we thought you would come. We waited - some of us with our captors in underground tunnels, some of us by the Gaza border, some of us by the door.
We waited for you to help Israel - not just the country, but Israel the people. But you took to the streets and accused us of murder for defending against the monsters who raped and butchered and burned and kidnapped our loved ones.
You call for another intifada, and for judenrein in Israel - for our annihilation “from the river to the sea.”
We have been saying “never again” for the last 79 years. Our children and parents, siblings, and grandparents are still in Gaza. Hamas still poses an existential threat….
Never again is NOW.
If you want a ceasefire, then LET OUR PEOPLE GO!!! Otherwise, move aside, because we are NOT marching to our deaths for you anymore.
Another amazing event in the books! Thanks to our cohosts @137ventures + all the founders, investors, LPs, and pro athletes that joined us. Programming included a tour of @boringcompany, a Topgolf Takeover, VIP Dom Pérignon + Hennessy Paradis Tasting, and Tech x Talent Dinner.
Hosted an awesome principal/VP-level women in VC dinner last night! Shoutout to @jessguenzl for being an epic co-host 🙏
Super inspired by this group of ladies! Give it 5 years and they’ll be running all the best firms in NYC
"Go write about the voiceless Americans who are sex trafficked, who don’t have access to internet, who can’t afford to support their family or buy a home, who are sick and can’t afford healthcare, and those who are fighting abroad….and stop scandal searching."
I find it funny how the Tik Tik legislation, initial AI discussions, hawkish China policies, startup defense tech procurement progress, and much more got done with a split Congress AND under President Biden - but somehow the clickbait articles are all about Trump and others who weren’t even at the forum. There were probably more Democrats there than Republicans across the attendee base. The desire to draft good Pro Tech Policy that tries to best solve problems facing all of us as citizens - and those not fortunate enough to be in the room - transcends party lines and journalistic mania. People are excited to build and Congress cares about America competing. Go write about the voiceless Americans who are sex trafficked, who don’t have access to internet, who can’t afford to support their family or buy a home, who are sick and can’t afford healthcare, and those who are fighting abroad….and stop scandal searching.
The @usairforce has selected Anduril to design, manufacture, and test production-representative Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).
In this era of great power competition, there is no time to waste on business as usual. We look forward to delivering CCAs on schedule, within budget, and at scale.

@jacobhelberg@zebulgar and I are excited for this year’s Hill & Valley Forum. Being apart of the work that so many are doing building bridges between Silicon Valley and the Hill is an honor. Seeing unity across party lines, venture firms, and companies on solving our nation’s most critical challenges, as well as capitalizing on our most important opportunities, is incredible. Excited to have something that’s continued to grow in its size and impact. So many are also apart of building this bridge (@foundersfund@a16z@Lux_Capital@8vc@caffeinatedcap@constructcap@lightspeedvp@generalcatalyst@sequoia@altcap and many more), but the people doing the real work are those serving in the public sector, serving in our armed services, and companies like @SpaceX@PalantirTech@anduriltech and the host of others following in their footsteps. May we always as an industry, and country, support citizens who become founders of companies that transform and accelerate our country.
