Congrats @ilaffey2 and team. I'm thrilled to be along for the ride. Theseus offers visual navigation for GPS-denied environments. It started off as a hackathon project, and by the end of YC S24, it was getting fast-tracked through the DOD. Keep an eye on this one.
At Theseus, weāre keeping good guys from getting killed. Every morning for the past 14 months weāve woken up thinking about how to help America and her allies fly unmanned drones in the toughest environments. We have raised a $4.3M seed round led by @bigmekastyle and the team

We pitched @jesslivingston, @paulg , and @tlbtlbtlb at their house in Palo Alto. It was my first time in CA. @billclerico and I had pitched dozens of Boston-based VCs, but that was our shortest and highest-bandwidth pitch by a mile, and the first time we were taken seriously.
Here's how @RichAberman and I spent our time at YC S'09 building WePay: me scratching out code in a hot Milpitas house, Rich hitting up college club fairs for users. Somehow @paulg @jesslivingston & @tlbtlbtlb managed to see potential past those cheesy shirts. HBD @ycombinator!

Congrats @the_yuppy and Herbie on the launch. They've built an AI agent that thinks and adapts like a patent attorney. It's impossible to imagine a future where this isn't doing the bulk of the heavy lifting currently being performed by highly-paid attorneys today.
Excited to announce @tryandai's $6.5M seed round led by @firstround and the launch of Andy, the first AI agent for patent attorneys. We're on a mission to transform how attorneys work with professional-grade AI.

Congrats @sumanyu_sharma and the @HammingAI team. From another founder building a voice AI agent:."It's a QA system for our core use-cases (things we 100% need to be right), similar to the same feature in Karpathyās Tesla QA engine, so we donāt introduce any regressions.".
