Any guess ?

Fastest company ever to $1b annualized revenue

Nope it’s not Higgsfield or Cursor or Cognition.

Met a data company yesterday that did 0 revenue in November 2025 and 80m “in month revenue” in September 2026. They will hit $1b annualized from 11 months of being started. They are still under the radar so I can’t share who they are. Hopefully soon, with their permission.

I don’t make the rules.

Harness becoming the key

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Important note regarding Grok @Bot:

Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.

Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.

Sarvam vs ElevenLabs.

The real fight in India is who wins indian languages / dialects and the price point enterprises will actually pay.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: AI voice startup ElevenLabs announces plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into India.

For a deep-tech startup raising capital, a customer’s qualification process belongs in the funding plan. Testing, certification and procurement each take time. Map the runway to those steps, with enough room for a failed test and another attempt.

India’s quantum opportunity goes beyond computing. The next milestone is translating research into reliable products, customer pilots and repeatable deployments.

[DSTIndia @IndiaDST]

Speaking at #NQMPragati Q-Foundry 2026, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India @PrinSciAdvGoI Prof. @AjaySoodIISc noted the substantial progress made by the #NQM over the last two years, calling for greater resolve to take it forward.

He highlighted the potential of quantum technologies across finance, communication, strategic applications and medical science, stressing the need to translate fundamental research into real-world deployment and impact.

With 52 technologies at different TRLs emerging from four technology hubs, he emphasised a whole-of-community approach to advance India’s quantum capabilities.

TakeMe2Space’s MOI-1a reached orbit aboard D-Orbit’s ION carrier, with release planned for 10 October.

Congratulations to Ronak Kumar Samantray and the company’s engineers as they advance accessible AI compute in orbit. Proud to support both startups at UIV.

[Pulkit Mehrotra @PulkitMehrotra]

A proud milestone for two @unicornindia portfolio startups: @satleolabs and TakeMe2Space aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-18.

Behind these seconds of footage are years of engineering, testing and persistence. Congratulations to everyone behind both missions!

[Pulkit Mehrotra @PulkitMehrotra]

SatLeo’s TAPAS-1, its first thermal-imaging payload, is in orbit aboard Dhruva Space’s LEAP-2—a step towards thermal intelligence for agriculture, cities and climate resilience.

Congratulations to Shravan Bhati, Ranendu Ghosh and Urmil Bakhai!

[Pulkit Mehrotra @PulkitMehrotra]

Congratulations @satleolabs and @tm2space !

@unicornindia is proud to be their early partner.

Exciting time for space tech in India 🚀

[Pawan K Goenka @GoenkaPk]

Genuinely big day for India's private space sector. SpaceX's Transporter 18 is carrying two Indian satellites and an Indian hosted payload into orbit, all authorised by IN-SPACe.
Among them, @satleolabs TAPAS-1, India's first commercial thermal imaging payload built by a private company. Thermal sensing picks up what ordinary optical cameras cannot, from crop stress to forest fires to urban heat. A new layer of Earth intelligence, now opened up by Indian industry.
Alongside it, @tm2space's MOI-1A brings AI computing to orbit, running models on the satellite itself, and @DhruvaSpace's LEAP-2 flies four payloads, demonstrating its platform for hosting others in space.
Orbital computing, thermal intelligence, and a homegrown hosting platform, all on a single flight. This is the range and ambition of India's private space ecosystem today.
Congratulations to all three teams. Wishing you a clean deployment and a long innings in orbit. @isro @INSPACeIND @PMOIndia

Rewiring processes, cleaning decades of duct-taped data, mapping permissions so agents don’t go rogue, and driving the human change management that no one wants to talk about… this is going to be bigger than the cloud migration wave.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

The need and opportunity for professional services and FDEs to deploy agents right now is massive.

Every tech wave offers a new era of consulting and tech services requirements. Moving from analog to digital led to a massive wave in the 90s. Moving from on-prem to cloud did the same in the 2000s. But this is going to be at a scale far greater than the others.

The reason is that agents fundamentally change the underlying workflows of an organization. Unlike most prior eras of technology, where it was a change in medium of the service being delivered (on-prem CRM to cloud CRM), agents rewire the business process itself. And unlike upgrading a tech system, business processes are full of idiosyncrasies.

Every industry will have its own variants, and every department within those industries will have variants as well. Not to mention the bespoke difference between firms. Bringing agents to marketing in CPG will look different from marketing in healthcare. Bringing agents to sales in a B2B software company will look different from a car dealership.

And none of the change is easy technically. You need to first modernize your infrastructure and data and make sure it’s ready for agents; access controls, entitlements, and permissions need to be mapped in a way that works for agents and people; you need to make sure agents have the right context to work with; you need to consistently eval and maintain the agents when there are model upgrades; and you need to drive the change management of the process itself to figure out which parts the people do and what agents do.

That’s an insane amount of technical and domain-specific process work to be done to make this all happen. Huge opportunity for new service providers, as well as internally teams and roles to emerge, to help drive this change.

Just when Anthropic’s Claude Code was pulling ahead in enterprise agents…
OpenAI Codex installs exploded to 86.1M in one week (early May).
Claude Code dropped to 7.2M.
Anthropic = deep trust & governance moat
OpenAI = raw velocity & distribution power
Race is wide open. 🚀

Capital rotating from people to compute.

- 81,747 announced in Q1 2026 (Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Coinbase, Salesforce, Block & more).

- Meanwhile Big Tech CapEx is exploding to $715B in 2026 (+$300B from 2025, +98% YoY).
