Since our first interaction with the Supabase team, we've been believers. Our conviction continues to grow... almost as fast as their user growth 😉 Congrats to @kiwicopple, @AntWilson, and the whole team. @Mike_Robinson10 and @zzaochen on why we invested (again):

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

We just crossed $500M ARR and welcomed new investors to @ElevenLabs: BlackRock, Wellington, Nvidia, Santander, Jamie Foxx, Eva Longoria and more. Natural, human-like communication will be critical to broad AI adoption - and these new investors help us accelerate that work.

Most of what earned @ComfyUI a $500M valuation today was built by people we don't employ. We just closed $30M, led by @craft_ventures with @PaceCap, @chemistry, and Tru Arrow. Total: $47M. Where it goes: → Comfy Cloud → Collaborative workflows → Comfy Local → Ecosystem

One of the biggest bottlenecks in robotics is real-world training data. Solving that is a massive growth opportunity. Doing it in a way that also creates jobs and helps workers participate in the AI economy is even better. Congrats @sumirmeghani and the @instawork team on IRL!

Proud of this one. We just raised $15M to build American-made chips for drones and robotics. For too long, the systems powering critical infrastructure have depended on fragile, foreign supply chains. We're rebuilding that foundation here in the U.S. A lot more to come!
