We are thrilled to announce the launch of avra — a 7-week program designed for post-Series A CEOs looking to scale their companies effectively. As most startup founders are first-time CEOs, the journey can be daunting, and resources scarce. That’s why we created avra.

Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception. We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs. On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

Huge congrats to @thejessezhang, @AshwinSreenivas and the entire @DecagonAI (avra Batch 4) team. Their relentless focus on speed and product is why Decagon is beloved by so many large enterprises. In less than one year they grew more than 10x in revenue with best-in-class NDR

Congrats to @TSMonzo and the Monzo team for an incredible 2025! A decade ago @monzo started with a bold idea: What would a bank look like if it was built from scratch today using technology Since then: * Monzo is now the UK's 7th largest bank by customer numbers (12m+ customers) * 67% of customers word of mouth * FY 2025 Revenue is $1.5B * Customer deposits: $22.4B * 33% of customers use Monzo as a Primary Bank * Retail ARPU: $252 * Business banking ARPU: $731 * Profit before tax: $154m

We are thrilled to back @barrald and the @_hex_tech team. Hex is redefining analytics for the AI era. Here is a quick video that showcases why Hex is the go-to for some of the worlds most influential companies turning data into action.

I’m feeling blessed to share: Owner raised $120M Series C and is now at a $1B valuation 🦄 Mom-and-pop restaurant owners are being crushed by huge corporations. We’re using this cash to arm them to fight back. • This round was co-led by 2 perfect partners for us: Alex Kurland from Meritech, who led DoorDash’s Series B, and Shalini Rao from Headline, who led Toast’s Series C. They were also joined by an inspiring group of new investors: Fidji Simo (CEO Instacart), Jonathan Neman (CEO Sweetgreen), Garrett Langley (CEO Flock Safety). & still more inspiring new investors... Dharmesh Shah (CTO HubSpot), Josh Reeves (CEO Gusto), Shaan Puri (MFM), Matteo Franceschetti (CEO Eight Sleep), Anthony Pompliano, Sahil Bloom, Christina Cacioppo (CEO Vanta), Brett Schulman (CEO Cava), Matt Maloney (Founder & CEO GrubHub). … just to name a few. :) • Today, technology is being weaponized against small business owners. Corporations like Domino’s dominate. Why? Because they spend billions on tech, engineers, and marketers. • Small business owners are forced to compete with corporations that have massive war chests. But with Owner, they can do more than compete. They can win. We’re building the platform that gives them the power. We serve the people who serve our communities. • I started Owner 7 years ago, after dropping out of high school halfway through 10th grade. The first version of Owner wasn’t built for venture capital. It was built for my mom. She’s a small business owner who just needed a shot at success in the digital world. • I remember watching her worry that we’d lose her business and our house. In a moment of desperation, she asked her weird :) nerdy 17-year-old son to help her. I built a solution for her. That was Owner V1. When it started to work, I saw my mom transform. She went from being constantly stressed about money to feeling hopeful and excited about her future. The Owner team has now seen that same transformation happen for thousands of small business owners like her. That’s what drives us. • You can think of Owner as Shopify for restaurants—and, eventually, all local business owners. It gives them everything they need to succeed in the online future, in one place. Owner is their website, online ordering, mobile app, CRM. It all works together as one system. • Owner is also continuously optimized with what we learn from the thousands of restaurants and the more than 57 million consumers who have used our platform. It’s the only system designed for one outcome: growing sales profitably. It gives independent owners enough firepower to take on the big corporations, and win. • Shoutout to the great team at @Owner — You deserve the credit for getting us here. I thank God every morning that I get to build Owner with each of you. We wouldn’t be here without you. We have a special team. Each of you represents greatness. • And shoutout to the best cofounder and CTO I could ever ask for, @DeanBloembergen. His work ethic and genius are as impressive as his character. I view partnering with Dean as one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. • I’m proud of Owner today. But I also feel scared that people will see our unicorn valuation and think “we’ve made it.” So let me be brutally clear. We HAVE NOT made it. And if we start to believe we have, we never will. When investors value us at $1B, it’s because they see potential. Our investors see the POTENTIAL for us to build a company worth tens of billions. We have to prove them right. And we must also prove right the thousands of restaurant owners who’ve bet their futures on us. • We’re still underdogs. We still have a long way to go. We didn’t come this far just to come this far. It’s time to move faster, build better, and fight harder! We have millions of small business owners counting on us.

🚀Huge congrats to the @supabase team on their Series D, led by Accel! Powering the world’s next wave of builders, this is just the beginning. @kiwicopple @AntWilson @Rorstro

I'm always impressed by the network, hustle, and long-term focus @anuhariharan and the @AvraCap team bring as investors, starting with their one-of-a-kind program to help great founders become exceptional CEOs: avracap.com/program. Excited about this partnership!

Big congratulations to the @render team on your incredible milestone! 🚀 Render is creating the modern AWS by eliminating the clutter of hundreds of discrete services while providing the power, flexibility, and scale that teams need!

congrats on the announcement! can confirm the program was extremely valuable for @supabase.

Have two companies in the most recent batch and @anuhariharan and team are leading an exceptional program if you are a post-series A company and want to learn from some of the best + make new connections. Highly recommend!

Huge huge congrats to @anuhariharan, @ndardenn and the @AvraCap team! Anu and Nic have been true partners in the Zepto journey for the last few years - rooting for them always :)

@anuhariharan was on our board at Vouch and incredibly helpful / pushed us in all the right ways - love that someone is building for the 1-10 stage, pursue!

every founder i know who's experienced avra or worked with anu has only the highest praise. great to see this launch @anuhariharan @avracap!

Avra and @anuhariharan run the best post-YC program for founders that I know of. I highly recommend checking it out!

I was part of the most recent batch of Avra. It’s a dream come true as a growth stage CEO. The program is packed with great insights and world-class speakers. It accelerates the learning process. And the Avra team is fantastic. They care deeply about creating an A+ experience for founders and it shows. No fluff, all value. Highly recommend for scaling CEOs!

Anu made me a better CEO.

Pumped for @anuhariharan and team. She’s consistently been amazing for us through the growth stage - the founders and operator mentors in the avra program are in a tier of their own.

@anuhariharan is one of the most helpful investors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. So excited for her and @LucasAFox !

When @anuhariharan launches something, don't miss it 👀

Congrats Anu! One of the more kind and generous people in the investing, I love this approach
