Exciting incubation over here at @kleinerperkins . @Joubinmir is solving a problem that’s plagued him for years and it turns out it’s been the white whale that’s eluded modern software. Roadrunner is changing this and the opportunity is massive. DM us if you’re an engineer
Excited to finally share more about KP’s first incubation since Glean: @RoadrunnerAI. Building this company with Ajay Natarajan, Eugene Shao, and our incredible team has brought me the most energy I’ve ever felt in my career. Grateful to @kleinerperkins and @mamoonha for backing

We’ve been looking for a company applying AI to enterprise accounting for 2+ years. After meeting @yogi_maximus, @ItsMeAxe, and Jack Liao last year, we knew we had to be in business with them. They’re forces of nature with deep empathy for the problem space and technical prowess

TIL that Zscaler’s IPO valuation in 2018 was $1.87B. In just 7 short years, it’s one of the most valuable cyber franchises in the world with a market cap of ~$52B. Public market investors have lived the dream of every VC on this one.
