I'm proud to announce we led Clerk Chat $7M seed round at Race Capital alongside HF0, Mento vc, Altair Ventures, and a group of dedicated angel investors. This funding will help Clerk enable every business to build and deploy AI agents (voice & text) seamlessly across their existing messaging and telecom infrastructure, enhancing support, sales, marketing, and operations. A huge congrats to Alexander Haque, Igor Boshoer, Will Chertoff and the entire Clerk Chat team. From bootstrapping in the early days to now achieving impressive growth, building a company is never easy. It’s inspiring to back a talented, resilient team that’s not only innovating in AI but also redefining how businesses connect with their customers. This funding is an exciting milestone in Clerk Chat’s journey, and we’re honored to be part of what’s next. Here’s to Alex and the Clerk Chat team—and to the amazing milestones ahead! 🚀 #startup #funding #conversationalAI #ClerkChat
🚀 Sharing Some Exciting News! 🚀 The road to $7.0 million ..... In May 2023 I made the decision with two friends, Igor Boshoer & Will Chertoff to take a plunge and start a company, leaving my dream-job at Netflix behind to kick-off Clerk Chat. We had already been building nights and weekends while each of our partners somehow tolerated our unbalanced lifestyles. Truth be told, we didn't start off with a grandiose vision of disrupting an industry like telecom through AI. Rather we are just three friends who wanted to create something and challenge ourselves every single day. We delayed funding as long as possible, building a small, lean team of superstars who believed in our mission - but mostly believed in each other. The path of entrepreneurship is grueling and forged in a lot of existential moments for better and for worse. Most people shouldn't do it - and with my prior startup journey taking a huge mental toll on me, I thought I'd never do it again. This is why today’s announcement that Clerk Chat has secured $7.0M in funding to accelerate our mission of making every business conversational, is such a significant milestone. I’ve never been one to celebrate funding, preferring to deliver real value to real customers, but this is a meaningful moment for so many people at the company and in my life that it is worthy to take pause and celebrate them since it reflects their collective hard work. A huge shout out to the teams at HF0, Race Capital, Mento vc and AltaIR Capital who took early bets on our team. And a particular shoutout to our advisors Dino Di Palma, Vincent Tauzia, Janelle Tam and Martin Weiss who supported us even earlier - providing guidance, and somehow simultaneously anchoring us to reality while making us dream bigger. But the biggest shoutout to everyone at Clerk Chat who make this all possible - and to our collective community of partners, friends and family who equally work to support us as we march towards the next milestones. #ClerkChat

Congrats to team Huma Finance, Erbil Karaman and Richard Liu for raising $38M Series A! 💪 💪💪 The future of #PayFi is very bright and it will address the liquidity needs of trade financing using blockchain technology, and claims to offer more efficient, more accessible services than traditional alternatives. Tokenized RWAs are among the fastest growing applications for blockchain technology, with global financial institutions and digital asset firms racing to bring traditional instruments such as bonds, credit and funds onto distributed ledgers. The process could bring operational efficiencies, faster settlement and increased transparency. Read more 👉 👉👉 https://lnkd.in/dbe7Shg5 #funding #announcement #fundraising #SeriesA #VC #siliconvalley

General Partner at Race Capital, Silicon Valley's most passionate CEO Coach, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman of BEA Systems
People always ask me, what was the most difficult event you ever experienced as a CEO, I never directly answered this question, mostly because it was so painful. 23 years ago today, BEA Systems lost 2 hero employees. Ed Felt, one of our most talented and beloved engineers, was on his weekly visit from New Jersey to San Francisco on United Flight 93 to work on the WebLogic transaction engine. I don’t think the Internet world as we know it would be where it is now without Ed. Ken Basnicki, our marketing director, was attending a financial conference at the World Trade Center. Ken’s energy was intoxicating, he was so well loved by his colleagues. Nothing prepares anyone, CEO or not, to get a call of employee’s life lost on duty. I miss you guys, you will forever be remembered, my Heros. #Employees #WWW #Internet #Heros

General Partner at Race Capital, Silicon Valley's most passionate CEO Coach, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman of BEA Systems
People often question me about the state of the world, and I must admit, it isn't in a great place with ongoing conflicts and a lack of peace. Yet, amidst these challenges, my enthusiasm remains unwavering. As a technologist, I am thrilled about the rapid technological advancements unfolding before us – from the impressive ASIC developments (big congrats to Jonathan Ross and my friends at Groq!!) to the emergence of AI-based middleware solutions, and the outrageously cool and productive GenAI applications - all paving the way for unprecedented levels of automation. What truly excites me, however, is the next generation of talent. This summer, Race Capital initiated its inaugural Internship program, and I am beyond impressed by our 3 exceptional interns – Audrey King , Binh Vu, and Sunav Nambiar. Their intelligence, strong work ethics, and remarkable personalities have left me in awe. Working alongside these talented individuals has been a privilege, filling me with hope for the future. So please continue to do great things and make this world a better place! #interns #AI #genai #data #venture #people #talent
