Orange Collective

I'm thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $3.5M Seed led by Gradient Ventures, with the participation of Y Combinator, Ardent Venture Partners, Orange Collective, key executives from Snowflake, Group 1001, Superlinked, Frigade, and Kevin Moore. Today, more than 400 exabytes of data are generated daily. Over 15 million data professionals are leveraging this data to guide their organizations toward their true north. Coming from Snowflake, LinkedIn, and Meta, my co-founder and I have tight bonds with data teams, and seeing them calculate the right product features to build just based on data is nothing but astonishing. However, for the last two decades, unstructured data has largely been left out of this equation. It's incredibly challenging to translate into something machines can use for quantitative analysis. We, humans, process 74GB of data through our eyes and ears every day. We are naturally great unstructured data processors, but unfortunately, we don't scale. But just recently, we've seen how multimodal LLM can understand the pain points from a 45-minute-long user journey video and sense the sadness from a phone call just by the tone. It is a perfect, unstructured data processor that can scale. It is a truly Cambrian moment for the data community because now it's possible to do quantitative analysis on unstructured data! This transformation may take many years because today's data tooling is so deadlocked into structured data. We will not wait for the incumbents. We will build this future, and that's why we're building Roe AI, now. This mission to Mars is going to be thrilling and bumpy, but I’m grateful not to be on this journey alone. Thanks to my co-founder Jason Wang, my family, mentors, friends and fellows at YC, Snowflake, LinkedIn, and UC Berkeley, and, of course, Roe AI’s early customers. You are our solar power 🖖 Live long and prosper!

Today is THE DAY. BIG DAY for us at Accend (YC S23)! I’m VERY excited to announce our seed round 🚀 Last year Yutong Pei and I left Brex, and Joseph left his startup to start Accend. We were thrilled to join the Y Combinator S23 batch—thanks to Aaron Epstein, Nicolas Dessaigne, Dalton Caldwell, and Pete Koomen for believing in us 🙏 . Being part of YC completely changed our lives. But, the startup life is far from predictable. Early into YC, we pivoted from our initial concept. Drawing on our rich experiences from the Risk team at Brex and engaging with hundreds of brilliant Risk & Compliance professionals, we identified a critical inefficiency: the extortionate amount of manual, repetitive work to onboard new businesses in fintech and banking. So, we decided to go all-in on the idea of accelerating business onboarding using AI. Fast forward to today: 🤩 We landed marquee customers in the US and Europe, including Pleo, Slope, Rho and others who trust Accend to speed up their risk & compliance operations.  💰 We’re sharing that we raised $3.2M from amazing investors we’re grateful to have in our corner, including Adverb Ventures, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, 645 Ventures, and angels from Brex, Stripe, Carta and many more. 📣 Our funding announcement was featured in Axios: (linked in comments!) I’m incredibly grateful for the trust our investors and customers have placed in us. But what excites me the most is what lies ahead. We're just getting started and there’s much more to build. Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to continuing to innovate in AI x Finance, and push boundaries together 💪🏽 🙌 Jessica Verrilli, April Underwood, Yasmeena Faycurry, Nnamdi Okike, Meredith Tibbals, Tamanna Khemani, Nathaniel Levy-Westhead, Niko Bonatsos, Erica Dorfman, Sam Stone, Ambika Acharya, Flora Z., Prabhav Jain, Jesika H., Max Segall, Juan Abundes, Brandon Ballinger, Will Larson, Kelley Rivoire, Uma Chingunde, Amy Yin, Orange Collective...(continued in the 1st comment - list is too long and LinkedIn won't let me tag more people)   Alright… time to get back to building now 💻

Today we’re thrilled to announce that PointOne has raised a $3.5M seed round, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator. Other investors include a Cooley LLP-affiliated investment fund, Soma Capital, Rebel Fund, Ritual Capital, Harvest Venture Partners, Script Capital, Katey Caldwell + Fred Benenson (Twenty Two Ventures), Christopher Golda, Harvest Venture Partners, Orange Collective, Lobster Capital, Kulveer Taggar, Howard Zelbo, David J. Phillips, Benjamin Bryant, Nate Matherson, Richard Aberman, Dr Trishan Panch, Matt Doka, Spencer Penn, Naël El Berkani, Daniel Baum, and more, including several of our customers. When we set out on this journey, our mission was clear: save lawyers time and money by automating the admin tasks they hate most. Over time, this has expanded to supporting firm leaders with high quality data, helping them navigate the shift to AI-enabled legal services. Today, PointOne Time captures data from all the applications attorneys work in—documents, web, emails, calendar events, and more—and uses AI to interpret them and generate complete time entries. PointOne Billing Hub brings bill review into 2024 with real-time collaboration, insights, and an AI assistant that flags and suggests fixes for common billing issues. This capital will enable us to further improve our core time and billing products, as well as expand our suite of capabilities. We’re incredibly grateful to all the firms using PointOne, whose commitment, feedback and collaboration have made the product what it is today. Our mission is to support firms in the transition to AI, by automating the things they don’t want to do and using data to enable more intelligent decision-making. If you’re excited about building that future together, apply to work with us!
