    When we started NewLimit, we imagined it would take 10+ years to create a real medicine. Our recent results have accelerated the timeline to next year. We've raised a $435M Series C led by Founders Fund alongside Thrive Capital, Greenoaks, and many other new and returning investors to bring medicines to the clinic. Medicines for aging are among the most valuable possible technologies. We are grateful to our partners for the opportunity to pursue this mission. https://lnkd.in/guAmqDQ9

    The entertainment industry just got its iPhone moment. Today, we're introducing Inkitt Ironblood, the world's first AI-native streaming platform built exclusively for Action, Superhero, and Sci-Fi. This is not an experiment, this is the next chapter. Watch the video below and then let me tell you what you just saw. Every frame of this is AI-generated video. No sets. No studios. No $200M production budget. We've spent years perfecting an AI-driven content pipeline with Inkitt, Galatea, and CandyJar. 50+ million users. 1M+ paid subscribers. A new novel hitting $1M in sales every seven days. We built the operating system for storytelling, and it works. Now we're bringing it to the most commercially powerful genres in entertainment history. Action & Adventure holds the #1 spot in all-time global box office revenue, and no one has built a dedicated streaming platform for these fans. Soon, we’ll be making them 30 movies per month, all based on stories from Inkitt. Thank you to my amazing team who has worked so hard to make this happen - we’re changing the future of entertainment. The first four trailers are live today. The app launches July 15. Sign up for early access at www.ironblood.com

    I'm proud to share that Glean has surpassed $300M ARR, just five months after crossing $200M and growing ~3x over the past 15 months. This is an exciting milestone for Glean, and it's a signal about where the enterprise AI market is heading. We’ve long believed the real challenge in enterprise AI is not access to models. It is grounding AI in how a company actually works: its people, knowledge, workflows, permissions, and systems. That’s even clearer now. The companies creating real value with AI are not just adopting better models. They are building systems that understand their business well enough to deliver reliable outcomes at scale. That is the real moat, and it is what we’ve been building at Glean: an unrivaled context layer for enterprise AI. That context has to work across the business, not just inside a single team or use case. We see that in how customers adopt Glean: more than 85% use it across five or more job functions. It also has to meet the security and governance demands of complex enterprises. We see that in who is choosing Glean: our Fortune 500 customer count nearly doubled year over year, including eBay, Dell Technologies, Booking.com, WD, Dominion Energy, Nationwide, and Zillow. And it has to make economic sense as usage grows. In our recent benchmark with Claude Cowork, Glean was preferred roughly 2.5x as often as off-the-shelf MCP tools and used 30% fewer tokens on average. Better context improves both quality and efficiency. I enjoyed talking with CNBC's Deirdre Bosa about this broader shift. In enterprise AI, the winners will not be defined by better models alone. They will be defined by who builds the strongest foundation for enterprise context. Thank you to our customers, partners, and team for helping us build the future of enterprise AI. We're bringing together the enterprise AI community at Glean:GO. Hope to see you there. https://lnkd.in/gK4d_qQF

    I'm thrilled to announce that Garner Health has closed a $100 million Series E at a $2.74 billion valuation, led by Index Ventures with continued participation from Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint, Thrive Capital, Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Kaiser Permanente Ventures. As AI transforms U.S. healthcare, this funding allows us to accelerate our work to build the new AI front door to healthcare. Today, I’m excited to also share two new features that transform our member experience and accelerate our understanding of clinical performance: Garner Assistant and Garner Research Agent. When we founded Garner, the mission was simple: give patients the data and incentives they need to find the best doctors and lower healthcare costs in the process. Today, 2.5 million people are getting better care, 800+ employers are seeing 12% lower plan costs on average, and we've saved employers over $1B to date. None of this happens without the trust of our members, partners, and incredible team. Grateful to Ike Swetlitz and Bloomberg for covering our story as well as Jahanvi Sardana for her belief in Garner's mission https://lnkd.in/eGQN9gKi

    Ten years ago I started Stord with a simple belief: that the physical experience of receiving an order was as important to the consumer experience as the product itself, and that nobody had built the infrastructure to make that possible for independent brands. Today, Stord raises $250 million at a $3 billion valuation. And I believe we have proven that belief was right. Amazon controls more than a third of U.S. online commerce, and the reason isn't their storefront or their payments. It's delivery. Prime permanently reset consumer expectations, and every consumer now carries those expectations to every brand they shop. For decades, every independent brand has been left to compete against that standard on their own.That is what Stord is built to solve, and this raise is the market’s validation that the opportunity is real, and that our foundation is working. “Amazon makes you feel like a SKU. Stord makes us feel like a brand. That’s the gap, and Stord is exactly built to fill it.” — Imran J., doingwell Over 1,000 brands. Over $15 billion in GMV powered annually. Packages touch nearly one in four U.S. households every year. A software business that tripled last year and is accelerating. 8 billion data points feeding our models annually. And a foundation that combines scale, vertical integration, and AI to create leading consumer experiences, one that gets stronger with every order. And today, we launch Stord Labs, our dedicated environment for advancing AI, robotics, and operational innovation across our network with the speed that only a unified technology and operational stack makes possible. The largest and most defensible companies being built today operate at the intersection of software intelligence and physical execution. In commerce, Amazon and Walmart are both trillion-dollar businesses built on unmatched physical infrastructure. Consider this: 9 of the 10 largest US companies by revenue operate physical networks at scale. Physical foundations built with the right technology on top compound in ways that pure software cannot replicate. That is the advantage Stord is building. This raise is not the destination, it is fuel on our mission. And we are just getting started. Thank you  to every brand that trusted us with their consumer relationship. And to every Stordian who built this. The future at Stord is even more exciting than the past ten years.

    The Figma design agent is here. Directly on the canvas and fluent in Figma, our new agent works alongside you so you can: - start a prompt from any design layer - parallel prompt to explore many different ideas at the same time - make edits and iterate while the agent iterates too. Our customers have given us so much great feedback throughout early testing and we are excited to get this out to more users over the next few weeks.

    Glean founder and CEO Arvind Jain says only a small share of employees are using AI effectively today: "we work with the largest enterprises in the world and some of the top AI companies are our customers, and even at those companies, we see only 10% of the people effectively use AI today," he said at the #FortuneWorkplaceSummit.
