Cybersecurity companies are raising bigger rounds earlier. But more capital also comes with a higher bar. Or as, Jump Capital Partner @saayanath put it in a @SPGMarketIntel article, “The bigger rounds buy you the scope to actually build a platform, but they also compress the window to prove it.” We unpacked what’s behind the shift, how AI is changing what security companies need to build, and why capital is increasingly concentrating around fewer, higher-conviction bets: lnkd.in/gGBgaUtM

Endlessly grateful to keep doing this thing! LFG
We've closed our 8th fund at $350M. We're putting it behind founders chasing the leapfrog moments AI is opening in legacy industries: the places manual process and complexity kept better software out. Thanks to @Yueqi_Yang at @theinformation for the write-up: theinformation.com/newslette…

Replying to @LayerxSecurity
@LayerxSecurity LayerX saw early that the browser would become a critical security layer in the AI era. Huge congrats to the team on today’s announcement with @Akamai. Shoutout to @zsparta, @saayanath, @GlilotP, and @DellTechCapital.

Always blown away by the @Standard_Kernel team and what they’re unlocking with their system to optimize GPU kernel gen.
We built a system combining program analysis and LLMs to transform and optimize PTX. By operating at this shared layer across DSLs (e.g. Triton, TileLang, ThunderKittens, CUTLASS), our system learns the best ideas from each and generates kernels that outperform all of them (1/5)

Checkmate, insider threat. Above Security is out of stealth and ready to play: with $50M in funding 🎉 We have been stuck in the reactive trap in insider risk for too long - it's time to make prevention proactive and, well, human. eu1.hubs.ly/H0sSVJt0

We have a utilization problem. GPUs are running <30% capacity. @Standard_Kernel (@anneouyang + @ChrisRinard ) unlocks up to 4x performance. Why we invested: jumpcap.com/insights/why-we-…

Agree? Disagree? Either way, if you’ve got thoughts and are building in cyber let’s meet at RSA next week.
At RSA, one thing is clear: security is lagging how systems actually run. @saayanath and @pasha_aqil share 5 shifts we’re seeing from non-binary endpoints to agent security. We’re looking for builders in this space: jumpcap.com/insights/what-we…

It’s rare to find founders so perfectly and uniquely suited to solve a problem, let alone a problem of this magnitude and importance. Proud to lead @Standard_Kernel’s seed round.
Excited to share @Standard_Kernel's seed round and some reflections on what we’ve learned about kernel generation and what we believe is next. Grateful to our amazing team, supporters, and the broader community pushing this space forward.

Historically, RPA's goal was to automate routine tasks but it frequently encountered limitations... Studies have cited failure rates of 30-50% for RPA projects At @FoundationCap, we believe that LLMs are a game-changer for RPA
