software engineer, cofounder - (YC F24)

[anand @metanand]

Today we're announcing that @dili_ai has raised a $15M Series A led by @khoslaventures , alongside @ycombinator , Brick & Mortar Ventures, and Allianz to reinvent professional services for capital projects.

In just 6 months since our round, Dili has grown more than 500% - powering high-stakes compliance, monitoring, and audit across 700+ projects representing $4B of project spend.

Fortune 500 clients building some of America's largest energy and infrastructure projects work with Dili to speed up project delivery alongside 1000+ developers, EPCs, and contractors.

America is going through a once-in-a-generation infrastructure buildout. One missed PWA or Davis Bacon compliance requirement can put hundreds of millions of dollars at risk, creating an urgent need for 100% visibility across every project portfolio.

To our incredible customers and partners - this wouldn't have been possible without you.

Thanks to @vkhosla , @hari_arul , @garrytan , @darrenbechtel and our existing investors for their support.

If you want to be at the frontier of AI applied to the real world - come join us!

Is tennis the perfect sport?

- It's exciting for 1 hour and then gets tedious. A perfect amount of time for daily exercise

- The court blends in to the landscape and doesn't transform the landscape like a golf course

- no teammates that expect something of you or to tell at you.

- using a tool, very human

- can play against a man or woman

- focus on rotating the body and the transverse plane. Improves balance and coordination

- you're outside

- the satisfaction of a smooth stroke

Your next job interview may be with an AI.

Companies spend a ton of time and $ on interviews - often with low ROI. And, candidates suffer through long and painful processes.

Epic talk tonight with @bchesky capping off the YC F24 kickoff event.

Absolute full floor standing ovation, have literally never seen the whole room stand up immediately to applaud a speaker at YC but it was really that good.

@Sebas_Notion @NotionHQ @produmatt @paulabuilds @_buildspace @_nightsweekends I could see myself using this, there's so much you can do in Notion and I always feel like I'm not using it to its full capacity (esp as someone who typically uses google docs)

[Shobhit Srivastava @shobs101]

@invarr0w @_buildspace @_nightsweekends this is a good idea, there are paid services (run by humans) that already do well, so I think this could be a big business
