Forerunner portfolio is crushing it!

ANNOUNCING: Sequoia has launched Superpower for its own 800+ employees. And through our new partnership, Superpower is now available to eligible employers across Sequoia's ecosystem of more than 2,500 companies. Members get: - Comprehensive biomarker testing - A longitudinal view of their health - Personalized recommendations - 24/7 Health AI and clinical support For employers, that means moving healthcare further upstream, before risk becomes a diagnosis or an expensive claim. As we all know, healthcare has a timing problem. We start paying serious attention to our health only when something goes wrong. We built Superpower around a different idea: Give people an extensive understanding of their health earlier – then help them continuously act on it. Eligible Sequoia clients that want to launch before the end of the year get a special opportunity to get started. This is another step toward making proactive healthcare available to millions more people. We're just getting started.

I'm speaking @NewcomerMedia Machine Earning next week with @illscience about investing in this era. It prompted me to revisit a thesis I wrote ~15 yrs ago about investing in a prior platform shift. It felt both cringeworthy and...surprisingly relevant.

A well-deserved milestone for @TealHealth: a $22M series A to fuel the future of convenient, accessible women's healthcare, starting with the market's first-ever at-home cervical cancer screen: mobihealthnews.com/news/qa-t…

Launching CC your Townie today, which lets other people work directly with your Townie over email. It's an incredible time saver and will wow you in so many ways. Try it out. (I'll be doing a lot more posting about how I use this to save me hours every week and why trusting your AI to work directly with others is one of the biggest shifts in HCI)

“My vision is that a decade from now, you walk down downtown Norman, Okla., and every storefront is open because Faire has made it so easy for these retailers to open up shops and to succeed.” Excellent features on @MaxRhodesOK @faire_wholesale wsj.com/business/retail/excl…

Town has entered the chat 🔑 Human <> agent, agent <> agent, agent <> human collaboration are all live today. Add your Townie to the group text and have them collaborate with your coworkers, friends, and family—and their Townies, too 🎉

"A more consumer-friendly, responsible, and high-integrity way of structuring sports markets" @j__fort from @Novig on CNBC 🏆 cnbc.com/video/2026/08/20/no…

We're proud to invest in @WisprFlow and scale a new form factor for information flow—and a new form factor for consumer AI, showing people everywhere that intelligence can be seamless, invisible, and a truly indispensable companion product to users.

Areas of high nuance & taste, plus vast operational complexity & details = prime for a human-in-the-loop model. @hellofora is the leader here, transforming travel with a fundamentally new model. @TheEconomist: economist.com/culture/2026/0…

"One of @Novig's appeals to customers is it offers a different kind of sports speculation experience, one without a house that takes a 'vig,' the fee that bookies take for arranging a bet. @j__fort has harsh words for many of the dominant sports gambling players, calling sportsbooks 'inefficient, exploitative, & predatory.' He sees the peer-to-peer model as distinct, since it’s two parties on equal footing going up directly against each other. But if Novig goes how he’d like it to go, those parties won’t always be two average sports fans squaring off. The company is actively courting financial institutions to take sides of wagers, and Fortinsky says Novig is currently onboarding proprietary trading firms and banks." wired.com/story/novig-says-i…

Welcoming Alanna Gregory, former Block marketing exec, to @hellofora as the first CMO! businessinsider.com/fora-tra…

"The NY @Mets are making the startup @Novig their official prediction-market partner, marking a first for Major League Baseball as the prediction-markets industry looks for a foothold in professional sports." Huge win for Novig, huge win for the Mets 🔥 wsj.com/sports/baseball/new-…

Congrats to @depthfirstlabs on making @Forbes' list of the Next Billion-Dollar Startups. Started by alumni of Google DeepMind, Block, and Databricks, depthfirst has big aims to secure the next era of software when intelligence creates more code than was ever imaginable. forbes.com/sites/richardniev…

As a category, agentic payments don't "exist"—because the infrastructure isn't yet there. @naturalpay is building these rails: payments that are agent-to-agent, business-to-agent, consumer-to-agent — and reverse. We're proud to lead the $30M series A! forerunnerventures.com/persp…

Congrats on the milestone @hellofora! Over $3B in bookings in just a few years. A prime example of a humans-in-the-loop model at scale: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We're investing in @suno, because when automation makes effort cheap, people increasingly gravitate to things that feel especially dynamic and genuinely theirs. Read @kirstenagreen's on why partnering with @MikeyShulman and the entire Suno team was a clear yes:

The best investments are the ones where we're also power users. At Forerunner, we risk melting the @TownAI servers. We work in partnerships with our Townies all day, every day, and our Townies even work together, too. Town's $55M series A in Fortune! fortune.com/2026/06/03/towns…
