💡Software engineering is shifting — away from basic tools to fully autonomous agents that handle projects from beginning to end.

In our latest NEA AI Stack Series installment, tech leaders from @Shopify, @FactoryAI, and formerly @GoogleDeepMind / @Meta explore this and other shifts that are redefining engineering teams. The bottom line: Engineers are becoming the architects; AI handles the implementation.

Thanks to everyone who joined @NEA and our awesome co-hosts, @foresight_data, @kleinerperkins, & @CooleyLLP in NY this week for ‘VC Data: Shaken & Stirred.’

We had a blast talking data with you! 🤓

[NEA @NEA]

"People don't actually know what they need to automate. You need to watch customers use the product and see what they're doing. I think the best founders are going in and observing before knowing where to take action. Compounding observation."

@NEA's @lucktm recently took the stage at HumanX to discuss 'Where Early Stage AI Money Is Going Now.'

👉🏽 We initially partnered with @VAST_Data at the Series E around a shared belief that data infrastructure would need to evolve for the AI era. Fast-forward and AI is clearly driving a fundamental shift in how infrastructure is designed and operated.

VAST Data is at the center of that transition, building a unified platform for modern AI systems. 🔨

Congratulations to Renen Hallak & the team on their Series F. 👏��👏🏽👏🏽

📢 On the heels of spektr's recent $20M Series A announcement, NEA's @luke_pappas @PhilipChopin @alexa_grabelle & Hunter Worland detail our excitement around partnering with @werwerfqw, Ciprian Florescu, Jan-Erik Aabo Wagner, Jeremy Joly and the spektr team to build the compliance infrastructure layer for the AI era!

🔨 Compliance is still manual. Despite decades of tooling, analysts still juggle fragmented systems — costing banks billions in penalties and overhead.

🤖 spektr automates compliance with AI agents. It sits on top of existing stacks, orchestrating workflows that previously took months to build.

🏆 We believe that whoever becomes the compliance system of record wins a massive, underserved market.
