Yesterday afternoon we officially launched Agency AI. My new company. We had over 500 businesses join our waiting list, now today I get to comb through the responses. TechCrunch did a nice write up about Agency, and why Brian and Pat believe in our team. The best part of this launch is the number of people wanting to join our mission of shaping the future of company creation. The team is priority numero uno. We want the truly best people in the world, if that's you, please reach out, but our priority is to hire ten high-agency — cracked engineers, GTM is next. Here’s the article: https://lnkd.in/ej_KfAxn

We've had an incredible year at Captions so far — and today I'm thrilled to share we've raised a $60M Series C. This milestone was made possible by some truly incredible work and momentum by our New York City team including: 🌎 Reaching 10M+ global creators on Captions 🎥 Launching a collection of world-first generative features, including AI Creator and AI Edit 📈 Seeing 3M+ videos generated by our customer each month Going forward, we plan to invest $100M into advancing generative video research here in New York. We believe that New York is emerging as the epicenter for AI research and look forward to building our world-class team here. (Give a 👹 if you're interested in joining us on this ride!) This round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from our existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz. New investors include Adobe Ventures, HubSpot Ventures, and Jared Leto. We're grateful to each of our partners for their support in this journey, and to our global community of creators for giving us the opportunity to help amplify your ideas. Cheers to the next chapter.
