We are closer to possible than we’ve ever been.?Today, we announce the launch of Manas AI, and setting out to shift drug discovery from a decade-long process to one that takes a few years; bringing life-saving treatments to patients years faster than ever.? In the beginning, our primary focus will be in oncology, developing treatments for aggressive cancers such as triple-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. The promise of Artificial Intelligence is human amplification. Nobel laureates, National Academy members, and pioneering researchers who've dedicated their lives to understanding disease working hand-in-hand with advanced AI systems, exploring chemical spaces and analyzing molecular interactions at speeds 100 times faster than traditional methods. That’s what we’re building at Manas AI. Like many of you, my co-founder Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee and I both have had people close to us affected by cancer and other diseases. When we first discussed creating Manas AI we shared a vision of a future where breakthrough treatments don't take decades to develop. Where AI helps us explore possibilities that human researchers alone might never have time to investigate. Where technology serves as a force multiplier for human ingenuity. While we're still in the early stages of contemporary AI development, initiatives like Manas AI show how close we already are to advances that can profoundly change the world.

At Tint, we're always looking ahead, driven by our vision of making insurance a feature of the brands people love, not just another product. But now and then, it's just as important to pause and reflect. This past year was one for the books: ? Our team grew stronger than ever ?? We built and deepened partnerships with amazing brands ?? And... we achieved 7x growth! None of this would’ve been possible without the dedication, collaboration, and energy of our team and partners. ?? As we gear up for an even brighter future, we're taking a moment to celebrate how far we've come. Here's to making 2025 even better! ?? #TeamTint #GrowthJourney #EmbeddedInsurance https://hubs.ly/Q032PKGV0

?? Amazing news: System Two Security has raised $7 million in funding! Really excited that Costanoa Ventures, The Hive, LLC, Runtime Ventures (David Endler & Michael Sutton), Webb Investment Network, and individual investors like Scott McNealy, Frederic Kerrest, and Ash Devata among others wanted to back us. I didn’t expect this level of interest as quickly as we got it (literally the day I started). What are we doing with the money? Simple, two things: 1?? Bringing on design partners, and? 2?? Hiring a first class team We’re actively looking for design partners who want to see how much power comes from the intersection of GenAI and detections. Early customers are seeing big savings in time (intel to detections in 90 seconds vs hours) and finding compromises (like LLMJacking) they hadn’t identified in the past. Would love to recruit more folks who’d like to see it in action. DM me. Onward ?????? #cybersecurity #artificialintelligence #startups?

Augmodo has closed our $5.3m seed fundraise to do Spatial AI for commerce! While AI is changing knowledge work, spatial AI will change physical work, and retail has the largest physical workforce and spatial data problems. We have built and launched inexpensive Smartbadges that associates passively wear to build a live updating map of stores to track the state of shelves. A sort of Google Streetview for stores updated dozens of times a day for both retailers and brands. I cannot wait to share more about what we've been doing - learn more at www.augmodo.com! We are so excited to have great investors who know the space and believe in our Spatial AI vision. Lerer Hippeau was amazing since the first meeting, have great retail/brand investors like dunnhumby, NewFare, and SimpleFood. I am so honored to have Webb Investment Network backing me again along with the best angels I could have hoped for!

At Mechanical Orchard, our focus is on the “how” of modernizing critical legacy systems: safely, reliably, fearlessly. The past few years have seen an explosion of examples highlighting the brittleness of important, crucial systems as they’ve aged. So we’re leaning in, hard: today, we announce the raising of $50m in a Series B round, led by GV (Google Ventures). With this round, we’ll be able to accelerate putting our technology and methodologies to work to solve this increasingly urgent issue. We thank our partners and friends for their continued support.
