Congratulations to @nirzuk , Wilson Xu, Udi Shamir, and the entire @CylakeAI team on their $245M funding round. We’re honored to be on this journey with you!
I met Nir 20 years ago when he was starting Palo Alto Networks, and it was obvious even then that he was something special. So it is incredibly exciting for all of us at Redpoint to have the opportunity to partner with him and the rest of this extraordinary team.
Cylake is audaciously building a complete cybersecurity platform from the ground up around a single data foundation, enabling full data sovereignty while eliminating the gaps created by today’s fragmented security tools. Enterprises face unprecedented threats, and bold action is required. The good news is Cylake is on it!
Excited to get to work with the Cylake team alongside great investors like @chandna, @jimgoetz , @ravi_lsvp , and Rakesh Loonkar.
Go Cylake!
Congrats @mitchellh! So excited to watch @superlogical's progress! No better product visionary (and human) than you
I've started a new company: @superlogical! We're going to begin by building a terminal multiplexer. The entire vision is much larger, but the multiplexer is the foundation. Sign up for the newsletter to get beta access and devlogs (product updates only I promise).

Couldn't be more excited to be working with @davidmcj and Marc Holmes on Dome Systems!
They're exceptional operators, but even better partners. They're smart, humble, relentlessly customer-focused, and a lot of fun to build with. When they decided to tackle one of the biggest challenges to enterprise AI adoption, we jumped at the chance to back them again.
We believe governance and security will be foundational to the agentic enterprise, and Dome is building an incredibly important piece of that future.
Fired up to be on this journey together again and can't wait to see what the team builds.
We’re hearing from CISOs and enterprise leaders that today feels like the “wild west.”
@davidmcj, @sraney, and Satish Dharmaj break down why. As enterprises rapidly deploy agents across cloud platforms, data systems, and SaaS tools, there's no consistent way to govern and secure what's being built.
In this video, they discuss how Dome Systems gives security and ops teams the visibility and policy controls they need to let AI actually work inside the enterprise, and why Dave and Marc are the right team to build it.

Thrilled to deepen our relationship with @Modal, @bernhardsson, and @akshat_b. It is an extraordinary team building remarkable products. No surprise they are growing like a rocket ship. Excited for what’s ahead!
We're honored to deepen our partnership with @modal and co-lead their $355M Series C!
When @bernhardsson and @akshat_b started Modal in 2021, they had conviction that building a truly great cloud for AI meant rebuilding the entire stack from the ground up. Five years later, that bet has paid off.
Erik built the recommendation system behind Discover Weekly at Spotify. Akshat was an early engineer at Scale AI before joining Erik as co-founder and CTO. Together, they've assembled what one engineer affectionately calls "a monastery for super nerds" and it shows in the product.
Modal has become the high-performance cloud that serious AI teams reach for when they need to ship. We couldn't be more excited to continue backing them.
Huge congratulations to Erik, Akshat, and the entire Modal team!

.@weberwongwong went from investment banking to VC to working at a coffee shop in New York while studying conceptual art at NYU-ITP, where his work focused on merging AI with art.
Then he built @floraai: an AI-native creative platform now used by design teams at Nike, Lionsgate, Pentagram, and Netflix, with tons of inbound enterprise interest.
The product represents a fundamental rethink of how design works. Today, there's no programming language for creativity. Every step happens manually. Instead of starting at the pixel level and layering up, Flora lets you start with an idea, iterate through prompting across dozens of AI models, and build scalable workflows that design the creative process itself. Then you drop into precision editing only when you're ready.
Watch the video to hear the story directly from @weberwongwong, @alexbard and @jordan_segall👇

Today I’m launching @Irregular (formerly Pattern Labs) with my friend and co-founder Omer Nevo: Irregular is the first frontier security lab.
Our mission: protect the world in the era of increasingly capable and sophisticated AI systems.

12 hours after we shipped, and Amp is still the only agentic coding tool to support Sonnet's larger context window out of the box, with no special API keys needed.
Why were we first? We work hard, ship fast, and benefit from the pricing and craftmanship principles of Amp:
• Our competitors who have fixed-price-per-month pricing plans know that usage above 200k tokens means they lose even more money (negative gross margins) fast, so they are busy trying to make the numbers work while our team is making Amp better. We pass through the costs, and Amp is the only structurally gross-margin-positive coding agent, so our customers can choose when it's right for them and don't expect it to be subsidized. This is win-win.
• We realize that most of the immediate benefit comes from having ~200k additional tokens, and there are diminishing returns to another 600k tokens. After all, the first 200k tokens have to be good for the next 200k to be good, and the first 400k tokens have to be good for you to even want to use an additional 600k. That's why we shipped support for the additional 200k token support ASAP. The other 600k tokens? We'll support that soon, when we feel confident about the quality and when Anthropic has more capacity.
• I suspect our competitors were waiting on Anthropic to provide more capacity for the full 1M tokens because they thought a headline with anything less would look dumb. But we know our users are smart and that this is what actually ships the most benefit the soonest. (Also, I think "432,000 Tokens" is a cool headline!")
Much more to say here, but lots of customers have been asking how we got this first. It's our love of shipping fast and the principles around pricing and craftsmanship (doing the right thing, not the fake hype-y thing) that we obsess over. OK, back to coding!
Horrendous take unless of course you mean we provide oath to citizenship for the remarkable immigrant founders and engineers that help make Silicon Valley what it is

Amp: “Whoa. Another S-tier. Holy shit. ... They're devs that love agents and they're just building the best thing."

We are finishing up training of our new Document Layout Understanding model at @tensorlake. Getting great results on complex business documents such as the ACORD forms which are bread and butter for insuretech!
100% accurate detection of Forms and Tables in the same page.
This is ideal for building Agentic Applications, which automate business processes that depend on information in forms, loss runs, statements, and tax forms. We can deliver all the information from a page in a single API call.

Go @beyang! This is just covering a small fraction of what we’ve learned and built and will be trying with Amp.
There’s so many ways Amp will be getting better.

Congratulations to @jaentwistle and the entire team @wander - so excited to continue the amazing journey with you all. So much opportunity ahead to redefine travel. 🚀 @Redpoint
We’re excited to share that Wander has raised a $50M Series B from @QEDInvestors and @FifthWallVC with @Redpoint @UncorkCap @StarwoodCapGrp @breyercapital @AuthenticVC @ActivantCapital @Soma_Capital @AlumniVentures @ForecastLabs and many other incredible investors.
Congrats @beyang @sqs and team @Sourcegraph on all the incredible work behind @AmpCode and the early developer love!

When building Amp, "best" wins out over "cheaper" in every decision we make. People are noticing:
"Amp is truly amazing. ... Every other agentic tool fails miserably here."
"~order of magnitude better" than Claude Code
"insane tool"
"Im trying to figure out how to just direct deposit my paychecks into amp"
