We’re proud to share that SignalFire has closed on over $1 billion in new capital, bringing our total assets under management to ~$3 billion. We’re solidifying our commitment to applied AI as the defining opportunity of our time. We intend to remain hyper-focused on founders at the earliest stages (pre-seed through Series B), helping them grow from ideation to industry leadership.

As reinforcement learning continues to evolve, its potential to transform industries by enabling machines to learn and adapt is immense.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape, ushering in tools that can automatically generate, complete, and optimize code with increasing sophistication.

Customers connect data sources to Lago without the need for pre-aggregation or data cleaning, and can make use of a meticulously designed UI for business teams.

A Harvard diploma, a PhD, or stint at Google are no longer the best signifiers of the top minds in artificial intelligence. Instead, hirers should look for engineers and researchers with applied AI experience at a group of nine startups that our data shows have the highest concentration of AI talent.

I’m often asked what it means to be a venture firm CTO, so I wrote this post to share what an org structure with engineering at its core unlocks for our investment and portfolio success strategies.
