the company brain guy. founder @hyperspell (F25)

San Francisco, CA
a great customer call doesn't go viral neither does fixing a product problem, getting aligned with your team, or changing your mind about strategy twitter is the opposite. you post something and within minutes you know whether people care 18 months ago i had less than 1k followers and mostly lurked. then i decided to figure it out and got 15m impressions it's been hugely valuable. many of our customers first found us through twitter last week @benhylak mentioned he'd deleted the app from his phone and found it helpful so i tried it too i realized i'd gotten very used to having an instant scoreboard most of the gratification in business is slow a customer expands. the product gets better. the team gets more aligned business doesn't move at twitter speed

Today, Heidi (@tryheidi) is announcing US$340M in new funding: a US$100M Series C led by our very first believer, @blackbirdvc, alongside @phxcrt, @p72vc and @HeadlineVC and a US$240M growth investment from @generalcatalyst's Customer Value Fund. The round values Heidi at US$900M. Five years ago I sat in a hospital cafe in scrubs after a night on call and pitched Blackbird. I worked with so many incredible doctors burdened by the work created from our care. I believed that every clinician would partner with AI, to handle that workload so they could get to the next patient. Where Heidi is today is way beyond what I could have imagined then. Our team has grown to almost 600 people. We’ve supported over 175 million patient visits in some of the world’s leading and most highly regulated healthcare systems. That only comes from an incredibly talented and hard working team driven by the mission to double the world’s healthcare capacity. In this next chapter Heidi is becoming the AI Care Partner I imagined. Handling all the work that a visit creates for every clinician and extending what we can accomplish in a day. Next week we’ll show you what that looks like. It’s what we’ve been building towards since the very beginning.

context is the missing unlock for AI in the enterprise
Ali Ghodsi: “There’s no agentic work that’s automated the whole enterprise. That has just not happened.” “I think that the real reason, if you actually look at it, is the models are smart enough, but they just don’t have the context that exists inside of any organization.” “We don’t need a smarter model that can actually solve Navier-Stokes or conjectures or do better on Humanity’s Last Exam. We need it to just go from 60 to 70%.” Co-sign. We’re very early on getting the most out of context. Brilliant conversation @alighodsi @martin_casado

Technically it's a new day, so time for a new case study PSA: new case study unlocked 🔓 Hyperspell was juggling multiple web crawlers because none were reliable enough on their own. They replaced that whole setup with Context.dev. Now we feed website content and company data into their company brain alongside Slack, email, Drive, and Notion. “Context.dev was stupidly easy to drop in and replace that whole setup.” Less infra to babysit, more time to build!

jensen put on the leather jacket, maxxed his rizz and tizz, entered god mode, and never looked back
This is why Jensen is god mode in @contextconor’s goated CEO matrix. Off the charts rizz (and tizz)

Jensen masterfully handles the potential Benioff frame-mog: “Look, I'm very good friends with both of you guys…I always feel like I need to stand on a chair…I just wanna let you guys know that when I'm on an airplane, I'm a lot more comfortable than you guys. And so, through human evolution, they realized that big is unnecessary. There's about a million years of evolution between you and me."

Introducing Respan P-1, the world’s best privacy model. Every AI application handles sensitive data. Existing approaches to protecting it force a tradeoff between accuracy, latency, and cost. We built P-1 to eliminate that tradeoff. P-1 sets a new state of the art for detecting and redacting sensitive information - outperforming existing models across our benchmark while being fast enough to run on every request. Starting today, P-1 powers PII redaction across Respan.

It really isn't. YC changed my life. Before YC it was damn near impossible for me and my co-founders to raise a round for Oneleet. My founding story wasn't impressive at all. At 35 years I was old. I never attended an ivy league university. Never founded a company before. Investors literally thought I was a nobody, despite having some traction. YC helped me and my co-founders get a foot in the door. My company, Oneleet, is worth hundreds of millions now. Meeting my wife, having our children and the family and friends I feel grateful to have will obviously always be the best thing that happened to me. But after that, YC is the best thing that ever happened to me.
