"We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started." Sam Altman's essay put into words what I'd been feeling for weeks. But before we talk takeoff, some news: Rocketable has raised a $6.5M seed round to acquire and automate SaaS businesses 🚀


Four months ago we launched Tolan, our first AI companion. Today, Wired's Will Knight wrote about our progress since launch: 3 million downloads, a $12M run rate, and a $20M Series A led by Keith Rabois / Khosla Ventures.




Startups raised $91B in Q2. But one-third of it went to just 16 mega rounds of $500M or more, per Crunchbase data, mostly in AI. Our latest Upstarts Media piece takes you inside the “tale of two cities” in startup funding, and what Ethan Kurzweil calls a “flight to consensus.”
