Today marks a pivotal moment for us at juna.ai as we emerge from stealth mode and announce we have raised $7.5 million in seed funding led by Kleiner Perkins in participation from Norrsken VC! ?? When we started juna.ai, our mission was to tackle one of the biggest challenges in heavy industries—decarbonizing and optimizing complex industrial processes. We had a strong belief that by leveraging advanced AI, we could transform manufacturing facilities into intelligent, self-learning systems that operate autonomously. The manufacturing sector is responsible for ~40% of the world's total energy consumption, significantly contributing to global carbon emissions. With rising energy prices, disrupted supply chains, and increasing pressure to achieve net-zero emissions, manufacturers are facing unprecedented challenges. We set out to address these issues by creating AI-powered systems that not only optimize operations in real-time but also reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints. Over the past year, we have made incredible strides. We've developed cutting-edge AI-based control systems and have already deployed our product with early customers, demonstrating real-world success and generating tangible savings. But there's still a long journey ahead. We also couldn't be more proud to partner with some of the best investors in the world who are unwavering in their support: Josh from Kleiner Perkins, Tove and Fabian from Norrsken VC, and our angel investors John Doerr and Jürgen, Matthias, Thomas, Yariv & Bilge from ellipsis. As we continue to grow, we're actively hiring across multiple tech roles. If you're passionate about making a real impact by driving efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing, we'd love to hear from you!

Today, I’m excited to share Infinitus Systems, Inc.’s $51.5 million Series C led by Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Coatue, GV (Google Ventures), Kleiner Perkins and Memorial Hermann Health System. When Shyam Rajagopalan and I started Infinitus more than five years ago, we did so with a vision to make healthcare “wait-less.” Since our founding in 2019, we’ve been committed to creating a future where every patient has up-to-the-minute information and support at every stage of their healthcare journey and technology works for employees instead of the other way around. Today’s significant milestone marks a pivotal moment in our journey to revolutionize healthcare through the power of AI. This has been a remarkable year for Infinitus, which surpassed four million calls made by our AI agent a few months ago. We’ve been up to a lot in 2024, including: ? In May, we launched our electronic benefit verification solution for patients covered by Medicare Part B.? ? Then, in August, we launched eBV for patients covered by commercial insurance, instantly providing data necessary to get patients access to treatment. ? Today, we’re releasing FastTrack?, the first purpose-built AI copilot for healthcare, which enables call center staff to bypass lengthy IVR systems and hold times.?Congrats Brendan, Sue & Maximillian! None of this would be possible without our incredible team of Infinauts, who believe deeply in our mission and push the boundaries of innovation to drive us forward.

In the early hours of a Tuesday morning, Joe Thomas and Ilya Fushman discussed Loom’s $975 million acquisition with Atlassian. Excitement and disbelief filled the air as Joe recalled, “I was shaking the whole time.” With Loom’s customers creating over 5 million videos a month, the acquisition marked a shift for the async video messaging platform. In this episode, they uncover the behind-the-scenes of Loom’s acquisition, the impact of AI defaults, and insights on strategic fundraising. Tune in to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dnJzd4D6

We have a lofty mission — to see a future where cities are thriving because crime is simply becoming a thing of the past. But we all know it requires constant innovation. City leaders, law enforcement, businesses, and all of our stakeholders contend with an evolving public safety landscape, and being a strong partner means that Flock Safety will continue to evolve and grow. Today, I am thrilled to share that we have acquired Aerodome, the leader in Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology. We partnered with Aerodome earlier this year, believing that DFR programs are truly the next step in a modern law enforcement agency’s incident response strategy. No other technology helps officers get eyes on the scene faster than a drone. A drone can be anywhere within a city in under 90 seconds, giving officers near real-time eyes on the scene to respond rapidly and save lives. As part of this announcement, we will develop a fleet of American-made, National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant drones, within the next 12 months. This day marks not only the next step in the evolution of Flock, but of a future we are building together: a future where safety is not a grand dream, but a reality. https://lnkd.in/eSsgpXYa
