Village Global

?? Villager Tyler Hayes founded Atom Limbs to build AI prosthetics for the 100M individuals living with limb differences or loss. It's awe-inspiring that we're at the cusp of technology capable of restoring physical abilities at scale—from sight to full motor control and sensation.

Congrats to the Airbase team on their acquisition by Paylocity for $325 million! We at Village Global are lucky to have been part of the their journey. A few months ago, Airbase CEO Thejo Kote and I discussed some of his lessons learned scaling B2B startups for Villagers: https://lnkd.in/gVnXTs98

Congratulations to Jerry Ting, Jake Sussman, Amine A., and the entire Evisort team on being acquired by Workday! Since we invested in 2018 we have watched Evisort evolve from an ambitious idea to a trusted AI-driven solution used by major companies worldwide. When we first met, Jerry, Jake, and Amine had a simple insight: contract review is tedious, and AI could solve it. What’s remarkable isn’t just their vision and resulting product, but how they’ve consistently listened to customers, stayed agile, and embraced new technologies like LLMs. This acquisition is the right step for the team and their continued growth. Workday’s values align perfectly with Evisort’s, and we’re thrilled to see what they build together. We know the best is still ahead.

They say you see the future first in San Francisco. Today, we see it in Detroit, Michigan in the body of a 68yr woman who is alive because of the cutting edge work of Ossium Health. Before Ossium, patients would have to wait sometimes indefinitely for a bone marrow match. Ossium is changing that with its life-saving bank of frozen bone marrow, which can cut wait times for matched donors to weeks or days. We’re proud to have participated in Ossium’s seed round in 2018, when their vision was nascent but frontier in its ambition. The most thrilling part? They're only getting started.
