When we first met @colintluce and @basistheory, they had a vision for tech that could create a *new* transaction lever for payments: modular, portable, payment tokens. Processor-agnostic payments has arrived with the advent of AI commerce; they are capturing the opportunity.

We’re working closely with @Uber and @LucidMotors to integrate the Nuro Driver with a growing fleet of Lucid Gravity engineering test vehicles, making fast progress toward the launch of our Global Robotaxi Program. How is the Nuro Driver able to adapt to new vehicle platforms like the Lucid Gravity?

Rare to get to back a founding team again after a successful partnership. We are thrilled to return to back @Varunkrish_ and @RahulShivkumar in the seed of @WithAssured.
🚀 Assured has raised a $6M seed round led by @firstround, with @KindredVentures, BragielBrothers, and the founders of Atria & Grow Therapy. Our AI platform automates credentialing, licensing & payer enrollment, cutting delays that sideline providers and keep patients from care.

In the past few months, @SophontAI is already delivering SOTA performance in their first medical specialty modalities, and working to bring it all together systematically. We are excited by the open approach and commitment to increasing transparency and access in healthcare.

The human body is not independent, siloed systems, but a highly interconnected organism. Only today can we design knowledge systems that are open, multimodal, and multi specialty. @SophontAI will empower researchers in med tech, pharma R&D, clinicians, and developers to deliver better, more proactive care.

This is a hard problem, and the @SophontAI team is uniquely up to the task. The founders worked together as researchers at Stability AI, where they led the Neuroimagjng and AI division and founded @MedARC_AI, a leading open medical research initiative.

An open, multimodal medical foundation model can synthesize data across specialties into a single holistic model. @SophontAI is delivering on this opportunity.
