Salesforce Ventures is proud to invest in @supabase: the new backend for the AI era 🚀

Building a modern backend has always been more painful than it should be: stitching together a database from one vendor, auth from another, storage from a third, and glue code to hold it all together.

Supabase eliminates that complexity. One open-source platform. Complete Postgres backend with auth, storage, realtime, and edge functions — wired together from day one.

The numbers speak for themselves: 7 million developers have signed up, 55% of the latest @ycombinator batch builds on Supabase as well as leading enterprises like Figma, Vercel, and Bolt. Further, AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Lovable are making Supabase one of the most common backends in a generation of new applications and creating a compounding distribution advantage that goes well beyond managed Postgres.

Proud to back @kiwicopple, @AntWilson, and the entire Supabase team as they build the foundational infrastructure layer for how software gets built in the AI era 🎉

"I would like to live in a world where we actually deeply understand the AI models that we're deploying everywhere across society."

@GoodfireAI CEO Eric Ho on how even researchers at frontier labs can't fully explain how their models work, or why they become intelligent.

"Never before has there been this wide of a gap between our understanding of a technology and how widely it's being deployed. Our entire mission as a company is to change that."

More than half of the Goodfire team is focused on interpretability research —reverse engineering the weights and parameters of neural networks to better understand their algorithms, computations, and features. Goodfire's aim is to look "inside" a model and attach meaning to the units of computation within it. This way, they can help design better models, build safer systems, and create more effective guardrails during training and deployment.

🎥 Watch Eric in conversation with @emilyyzhao on how Goodfire works to understand AI models.

The idea that launched @GoodfireAI🔥

When ChatGPT launched, most people were blinded by the possibilities. Eric Ho saw the risk it posed.

"I kind of saw the next few years unfold before me, where we were about to get increasingly powerful models ... massive amounts of compute, massive amounts of intelligence, but we wouldn't understand at all how this intelligence would actually work."

Most models operate as a black box. Users can see the output, but they can't reliably see how the model reached it, why it behaved in a certain way, or whether it will behave the same way again next time. With how quickly AI is being deployed into mission-critical environments, Eric wanted to do something to ensure AI models are functioning as intended.

In a new video interview with Emily Zhao, Eric explained his aim behind founding Goodfire: to build the science and technology needed to understand AI from the inside out.

We've invested in @OpturaAI 🚀

Healthcare AI has a measurement problem. Orgs are running pilots — but can't prove hard-dollar ROI to their boards.

Optura fixes that. A full-stack AI OS for healthcare enterprises.

Proud to partner with this team 🤝

Solving the AI energy crisis requires more than new generation. It also requires infrastructure that ensures energy gets where it needs to go.

We just published Part 2 of our energy series, focused on modernizing the U.S. power grid. Read it here: https://t.co/TRkEhofKlr

AI is the most transformative technology of our lifetime.

But its scale is defined by electrons.

We just published our energy investment thesis — 5⃣ technologies we believe will power the AI era.

"Having spent time with @Benioff, I was really inspired by what can be built over decades of hard work, and effort, and persistence."

@ChaseLochmiller, CEO of @CrusoeAI, discusses why he partnered with Salesforce Ventures for his company's Series E 📹

[Salesforce Ventures @SalesforceVC]

"I think we are going to build a lot more [AI] infrastructure at a much lower cost, partially because the reliability will be lower of those data centers."

@CrusoeAI CEO @ChaseLochmiller on why he hopes to see a 40% reduction in costs for developing AI infra in the future 📹

[Salesforce Ventures @SalesforceVC]

"In many ways I think we may be under-building and underestimating the actual amount of computing infrastructure we're going to need as AI scales."

@ChaseLochmiller, CEO of @CrusoeAI, on how model providers are thinking about scaling AI infrastructure to sustain demand 🎥
