Puentes ended yesterday. It’s the fourth time we’ve done it, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.
One thing I admire about early YC stories is how batchmates would become lifelong friends. Everyone I’ve talked to about those days remembers them fondly as getting to be a part of something special only they knew about; the world hadn’t yet caught up to it.
To me, that’s a fundamental milestone for any institution that wants to be really successful long term. I like to joke about this, but an unexpected outcome of building Puentes is that I’ve grown my group of friends in SF by a lot. The fellows now living here are dear friends.
On the last night of Puentes IV, we did a barbecue at @engelberger_n and @tomasward__ place just with fellows, and there were 35 of us on their rooftop, from previous cohorts and this last one.
I’m proud to say we’re starting to become a real community. Every fellow is someone I’ll help and support for life. They’re high-quality humans I’d like to call friends, and extremely competitive people I’m sure will slowly but surely build enormous companies.
To Puentes IV fellows, thank you for your trust, and see you in SF very soon :)

In puentes you can meet your heroes
Tive um 1:1 com o Pedro hoje
> No e-mail, dizia que iam me receber e me levar até a sala dele
> Cheguei ao escritório uns 20 minutos mais cedo
> Deu a hora e a pessoa foi me buscar
> Fui acompanhando ela, esperando chegar à sala
> Chegando lá, a “sala” dele era só uma mesa no meio das outras, onde o pessoal trabalha
> Ele me recebeu super bem, fomos para uma sala de reunião e batemos um papo
Bizarro como um cara que já alcançou tanta coisa continua apaixonado pelo que faz e extremamente hands-on em todos os problemas
Nessas pequenas coisas você percebe que os resultados não são atoa. Referência demais

Puentes starts this Sunday.
We're flying 15 of the best young engineers from Latin America to SF.
They’re among the most talented in their countries, and they want to be here to compete with the best.
Our goal at @antigravitysf is to help them stay.
Meet the engineers 👇

We’re running a personal agents hackathon the last day of Puentes!
> Only 50 engineers
> $2K in cash for the top 3 teams
> Judges like @montonenico, @iAligator, @rincidium
> Compete against all the Puentes fellows in SF

Today, I'm thrilled to announce Flai's $27M Series A, led by Base10, bringing our total funding to $33M
This round also brings in some of the biggest names in automotive. With Toyota Ventures, Friedkin, and Findlay Automotive Group on board, we're now backed by the people who build, distribute, service, and sell cars.
A year ago, we announced our seed round with one product: an AI that answers the phone for car dealerships. Today, Flai is the first AI-native CRM for automotive, built for both the sales floor and the service drive.
Over the last year, @useflai has grown more than 20x, and we now work with over 20% of the top 50 dealer groups.
Dealerships still run on software from another era. One of the industry's biggest vendors started before the car was even invented. Dealer teams are buried in disconnected tools, and their customers feel every gap.
Flai changes that. On average, Flai generates ~$100K in additional monthly revenue for each dealership we work with.
With this funding, we'll invest aggressively in product and engineering to build the system modern dealerships run on.
I'm incredibly proud of our team and deeply grateful to our dealer partners for their trust in what we're building.
The round was led by @Base10Partners, with participation from:
@firstround
@Toyota_Ventures
@friedkingroup
@ycombinator
Findlay Automotive Group
We're growing extremely fast and hiring across every team: engineering, product, marketing, sales, and customer success. If you want to help rebuild how cars are sold and serviced, check out our careers page or reach out to me directly!

Moverme a SF siendo argentino fue la mejor decisión que hice para mi carrera.
Creía que era realmente imposible. (no fue fácil lol)
Pero hoy hay una gran puerta de entrada con puentes puentes.antigravity.capital/. Aplicá si querés ser parte de el hub tecnológico del mundo.
Si tenés dudas, no duden en escribirme para charlar de la vida y entender si este programa tiene sentido para vos.

Applications for Puentes by @AntigravitySF close this Thursday.
A lot of people tell us they want to apply but aren’t sure what to show in their demo. We care about the quality of your work.
Thread w a few raw demos previous fellows applied with as reference.
First @joszert:

@jiwonmoon90 forced me to reflect right after our last cohort ended. I thought it was a bit too personal so I hadn't shared it, but it does a good job of explaining why we do Puentes. If any curious mind wants to understand, and this helps them decide to apply :)

Meet the Puentes by @AntigravitySF fellows.
@tomasholtz grew up in a loving family and excelled in both sports and academics
He had a moment of clarity when he decided to have an interesting life and that meant becoming a professional basketball player
Now he's at @cognition
