We just raised $15M to build AI for customer-facing operations. And today, we’re launching Charlie: the first AI coworker for customer-facing teams. Charlie is the best way to build and improve Voice AI agents. It can analyze conversations, create workflows, connect to your tool stack, generate performance reports, and even help your team improve business outcomes over time. The round was led by @redalpine, with participation from @CherryVentures, @ycombinator, strategic investors, and angels.

42 is the answer to everything. This is @EntireHQ’s answer to Git in the era of agents: fast, independent, distributed. Mirror your GitHub repos, let your agents clone and pull from the region(s) of your choice, and…we're open sourcing it. 🤖

Congratulations to @proximafusion who have just raised €411M, now valued at over €2.4B! This makes it Europe's best funded and most valuable fusion company, and brings the commercial fusion power plant one step closer to reality. Proud to double down. cherry.vc/news/the-first-com…

Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs. He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center. We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.

Mirko Novakovic (@mirko_novakovic) Founder of Europe's newest $1B unicorn @dash0hq shares why founder-led sales are essential for startups: "You have to do the first million dollars yourself and you can't really delegate it because you have to learn if you have product market fit". "You have to learn how to sell it. You have to learn the message, what resonates, what doesn't resonate". "If you talk to five, ten customers each day, you get a super sense of what's resonating or what's not, right?" "You don't get that if you do that in your room and you create a PowerPoint".

Rows will be joining Superhuman! This is a big moment for us. We started Rows in 2017. Along the way, more than 2.2 million people used Rows to execute over 17 billion spreadsheet functions, import data from their business tools more than 8.3 billion times, and run over 800 thousand AI Analyst prompts. Now, we get to take everything we’ve learned and apply it at a much bigger scale. I deeply admire Superhuman’s vision of AI that works everywhere you work, and our team is excited to become part of a team building the future of productivity. Huge thanks to Shishir and Mark for the trust and partnership along the way. This is a big milestone for us, and I’m genuinely excited about what comes next. To our customers, thank you for trusting us with your work over the years. We’ve shared more details about this transition, including what it means for you, in the full announcement below. Thank you to our team especially @torbschulz, our customers, our partners, and our investors for being part of this journey. Let’s go!!

Proud to double down on Plato, AI software that sits on top of legacy ERPs. The system flags churn warnings before customers leave, surfaces cross-sell opportunities buried in thousands of SKUs, and automates workflows that used to eat entire afternoons. cherry.vc/articles/the-ai-op…

📈 Berlin startup Plato has raised $14.5 million in seed funding. techfundingnews.com/plato-ra… @atomico led the round, joined by @CherryVentures and new investors @DiscoveryVC and D11Z Ventures. #ai #vcfunding #trade #germany #eutech #funding #investment #innovation

We're backing a cracked technical team going after one of the biggest markets in computing, thinking from first principles to build Generative UX, the next major paradigm shift in how humans interact with the AI-enabled web. cherry.vc/articles/heywa-lab… @dinikaM2

.@CherryVentures raised €500M with one goal: Back Europe's first trillion-dollar company. Their bet? It might not be another AI model. @chrismeermi, Founding Partner of Cherry Ventures explains: "AI is very energy-hungry. All these data centers need lots of energy, and that needs to come from somewhere." So Cherry backed @proximafusion, a fusion energy company. The logic is simple: If AI is the future, energy production is the bottleneck. They're also backing @QantGmbH, making photonic chips that work with light instead of electricity. Much more efficient. Sometimes the biggest outcome might not be the most obvious one.
