Many companies say they're customer obsessed, but the Avoca team is truly maniacal about making sure their customers succeed, and it's paid off.
Watching them has been a real lesson in company-building as they serve overlooked industries in the AI supercycle
I'm excited to share that @getavoca has raised over $125M across Seed to Series B at a $1B valuation, backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech, General Catalyst, Amplify, and more to build AI agents for the services economy. Thank you to @FortuneMagazine for the exclusive cover.

It's hilarious that for the last decade, backend engineers dunked on frontend for not being "rigorous"
Now, backend is the first to get fully automated by codegen bc on frontend you need some visual inspection
someone sent me a meme on instagram and I went down a rabbit hole
Sean Parker (Napster, Facebook) is trying *everything* to make the consumer AI super app and now #33 in Social Networking (#18 this morning). They crammed every single viral consumer AI product into one app:
- chat with a character (text and voice)
- clone yourself and generate unlimited selfies
- generate veo3 / sora quality videos (ads show Yeti which is hyperniche and viral on tiktok)
The marketing is super aggressive rn: lots of bot accounts on reddit, lots of meme videos on instagram
And the onboarding is even more aggressive:
