Healthcare is adopting AI faster than any vertical. Our State of AI in Healthcare report proves it.
The result: 80% of the healthcare AI market is untapped. $740B in services budgets are becoming software.
See where the next category leaders will emerge mnlo.vc/HealthcareAI_25

Really fascinating to hear how healthcare, the industry that still relies on the fax machine to send billions of messages every year, is leading all industries for AI adoption. Check out my interview with @MenloVentures' @derekgxiao for @BiotechTV
𝐀𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬: @MenloVentures published a report showing that the healthcare industry is the leading adopter of AI - @derekgxiao, one of the co-authors, shares key takeaways.

Congratulations to @StefanoErmon and the Inception Labs team on today's funding announcement!
We're proud to lead this round and to continue supporting what's next for Inception Labs 🚀
This Stanford professor just raised a $50M Seed and have built a 10x faster and 10x cheaper AI coding model with the performance of Gemini Flash / Haiku.
Inception Labs’ Mercury model can implement games like Connect 4 from scratch in ~2s. The speed feels magical, like going from dial up to broadband. And it’s purely achieved by the novel use of diffusion models for code, that Stefano and two PhD student turned professor cofounders invented years ago.
Maybe there’s a world where we don’t need billions in compute when you can run quality models cheaper ($0.25/M input, $1/M output tokens). The next step is to get them to be at frontier quality.
A small testament to just how incredible this team is the long list of incredible startups have already come out of Stefano’s lab: founders and key members of SSI, Pika, Luma, Together, Harmonic, Wispr, Liquid, Radical Numerics and many more!
AI veterans Andrew Ng and senpai Andrej Karpathy are also investing alongside us as well as Nvidia, Microsoft, Databricks and Snowflake.

Code review is our strongest defense against AI-generated slop, and it's evolving from a guardrail for solo developers into the orchestration layer for entire engineering orgs.
Thrilled to see @graphite recognized as the leading AI code review platform in @Stanford's new course CS146S: The Modern Software Developer.
@TomasReimers is coming to campus on Friday to give a lecture on how teams can unlock 10x productivity with AI-powered development workflows - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
@MenloVentures @gregmfoster @MerrillLutsky @vcrama @derekgxiao
Code review is one of the most important activities any engineering team can do to collaborate, share information, and ensure the highest product output. This is more true in the world of AI code than ever before.
Today @graphite is one of the leading AI code review platforms used by companies such as Figma, Ramp, Datadog, and more. Super excited to have @TomasReimers, CPO and cofounder of Graphite, giving a guest lecture at Stanford this Friday (11/7) at 8:30 am PT in 420-041.
He'll be talking about the history of code review, lessons learned from building their platform, and how to best leverage code review in a high throughput engineering org.
Come join us!

Healthcare’s AI moment is here. But 80% of the market remains untapped.
The next waves will come from companies automating services budgets, building voice interfaces for patient engagement, solving prior authorization at scale, improving drug discovery.
What do you think will happen by next year's report? mnlo.vc/HealthcareAI_25
🎉 Congratulations to @Abnormal_AI_Inc, @AstrixSecurity and @semgrep who were all named to the third annual Cyber 60 list, presented by @FortuneMagazine, @lightspeedvp, and @awscloud.
We're proud to support some of the most promising and innovative startups in cybersecurity. lnkd.in/gdAHwEi6

Excited to share Pearl from Genesis Molecular AI (yes, we've updated our name!): the first co-folding model to clearly surpass AlphaFold 3 on protein-ligand structure prediction.
Unlike LLMs that train on vast public data, drug discovery AI faces fundamental data scarcity. Our 3D foundation model – #pearlAI – solves this with physics-based synthetic data generation and an innovative, controllable, architecture that leverages equivariant neural networks and an improved ability to leverage 3D templates as structural priors for in-context learning.
Pearl is already deployed on live programs. Grateful to our incredible team and @NVIDIA for this collaboration. Read more: genesis.ml/news/introducing-…

85% of healthcare AI spending goes to startups, not incumbents.
Why? Startups can move faster and design products natively around AI capabilities. BUT customers still prefer EHRs for most use cases beyond scribing. Read more in our report released last week: mnlo.vc/HealthcareAI_25
