What is old is new.

Today, we’re introducing a new identity for @laborup_usa.

Laborup is a bet on people and what becomes possible when they have better tools. The idea behind our new mark is more than 2,000 years old. 🧵

VERY excited to start building with Studio, it looks 🔥. Congratulations, @kanjun and the team at @imbue_ai

[Josh Stein @JoshSteinVC]

Great work by @lisamxu leading this one. Autopoiesis is going after a hard problem: AI that doesn’t just help scientists work faster, but can actually discover. Thrilled to partner with Joseph, Eike, Larry, and the team.

[Threshold Ventures @thresholdvc]

We’re excited to lead the $11M seed round for @autopoiesislab.

@thresholdvc partner @lisamxu shares why we believe Autopoiesis can help usher in a new era of autonomous scientific discovery:

Today, @autopoiesislab announced their $11M Seed round led by @thresholdvc.

Autopoiesis is building AI capable of autonomous scientific discovery - moving AI from assisting scientists to discovering new knowledge itself. We believe AI can fundamentally change the pace of scientific progress, and feel privileged to partner with Joseph, Eike, Larry and the brilliant team building toward that future.

From a $20k legal bill that devastated my first startup, to 80 investor rejections (including YC), to becoming the most used Contract AI product in the world.

Diana Bocco tells the unlikely story of Spellbook for @Inc:

There's never been a better time to be a frontier hardware company because of @freeform_future .

Advanced hardware companies are scaling faster than ever. The bottleneck isn't the idea, it's turning that idea into thousands of flawless, complex parts at speed.

Aaron Littlejohn, our Senior Manager of Production, explains why manufacturing as a service solves that.

Just focus on the breakthrough. We'll make sure it ships. #AdvancedManufacturing #PhysicalAI #FrontierTech #Hardware

We're proud to share that @FiveGuys has chosen @SpellbookLegal to accelerate their contract flow.

GC Adam Aberra and the Five Guys legal team are running the forward-thinking legal infrastructure behind a global franchise network that spans 1,900+ restaurants across 29 countries.

We’re honored to be supporting them as they scale and sharpen their work with Spellbook.

This was a delicious announcement to make :)

@freeform_future just made the @latimes Top 50 Aerospace and Defense Companies in Southern California.

You don't need an army to stand next to the giants. You need a small team that refuses to accept how things have always been made.

If you need us, we'll be working.

"Customers will upload a part and everything downstream will be manufactured autonomously within the next 12 months."

Our founder & CEO Erik Palitsch in the @latimes. We're building the factory that lets hardware companies scale from one part to thousands. Don't sleep on @freeform_future.

Excited to share how @Dropbox's legal team adopted AI, and @SpellbookLegal.

They’re one of the most forward-thinking in-house teams we’ve worked with.

Dropbox serves more than 700M users worldwide.

AI is enabling them to automate standard playbooks, keep more deals in-house, and move through agreements faster.

Thanks for sharing your story:

We launched Rippling Data Cloud today - an all-in-one rebuild of the modern data stack, with AI deeply integrated throughout.

Why would you want an org-and-employee-centric data stack? Well, here’s how I used Rippling Data Cloud to help with token burn and cut AI slop. 1/

Running my own little fleet of Claude agents — newsletter ingest, tweet drafts, code review on my PRs — has made one thing obvious: the prompt you shipped last week is often not the behavior running today.

LaunchDarkly's AgentControl feels like the right shape of an answer. Excited to try it out!

[Lisa Xu @lisamxu]

Nothing more energizing than a fantastic board meeting at your portco’s brand new office. Congrats @Bluefish_AI on the beautiful new HQ!

[Parker Conrad @parkerconrad]

Rippling is the *legitimate* way to spend less time on your SOC 2.

Every other SOC 2 product is purely a detection system — a reporting layer bolted on top of tools it doesn't control.

Rippling *is* those tools. That’s how we’re able to get SOC 2 done unbelievably fast.

[Arpit Mittal @i_arp1t]

Pretty fired up to be backing @MillionInt @_arohan_ @juliacvillagra and the rest of the elite crew at Core! An AI that builds for AI, from ground up! One of the most ambitious team that we've backed at @thresholdvc!
