Today, we've announced that we've co-led Cursor's Series D. We're excited to deepen our commitment to a team that's proven themselves extraordinary: redefining both coding and AI in a few short years, quietly eclipsing $1 billion in annualized revenue, and throughout it all, remaining remarkably humble, hardworking, and all-around good people.

Shipping code for software embedded in defense, automotive, and semiconductor hardware isn't easy. Most code is translated manually. The stakes for errors are incredibly high, and regulatory hurdles even higher. All of which has made eking out productivity gains from AI incredibly difficult. Code Metal changes that. Developers can write code in a standard programming language like Python, then Code Metal translates it to run on a given device’s hardware. Testing is automated, ensuring that every line of code is robust, optimized, and compliant. Read more about our Series A in Code Metal from Steve Loughlin, and why we're so excited to partner with this team: https://lnkd.in/ekSzF2QN

As reported in The New York Times today, you can build a $2B company in a category everyone assumed was won. PowerPoint was invented before the first website, before the Game Boy, before the Berlin Wall fell. But our 70 million users have proven you don’t need to accept the status quo. Today, we’re proud to announce our Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz Sarah Wang at a $2.1B valuation. We’ve also sailed past $100M ARR ($2M ARR per employee), just months after crossing $50M earlier this year. And today, Gamma gets even more powerful: ✅ We’re opening our API for general access so you can integrate and automate Gamma anywhere work gets done. ✅ We’re also sharing our first-ever prompt guide with real use cases that are supercharging businesses and Gamma users everywhere. Thank you to everyone who has made this milestone possible! We're just getting started. Get your ideas out there.

Big news today here at Decagon: we’re piloting with Deutsche Telekom – the world’s largest telecom. We’re honored to work with Jonathan Abrahamson and the team to build the future of customer experiences together.
#Building and Investing. Deutsche Telekom is joining Decagon ’s $131M Series C led by Accel and Andreessen Horowitz. Why we’re in: Decagon’s enterprise AI agents deploy in days, not months — operating across chat, email, voice, and SMS. They’ve already shown measurable impact: reduced support costs and higher customer satisfaction. In parallel, we’re launching a Deutsche Telekom × Decagon pilot to prove it in our environment — focused scope, fast iterations, and week-over-week progress on resolution time, CSAT/NPS, and recontacts. How we’ll do it: privacy by design, human-in-the-loop, clear escalation paths, and auditability from day one. At Deutsche Telekom, we’re combining building and partnering — investing where it matters and scaling what the data says works. Excited to work with the leaders in this domain — Jesse Zhang and Ashwin Sreenivas from Decagon, our colleagues at T.Capital , and the teams across Deutsche Telekom bringing this to life. More on the pilot in early 2026!

VoidZero’s goal is to make JavaScript developers – all 28 million of them – more productive. JavaScript is the most widely used programming language in the world, but its fragmented tooling has long gotten in the way of developer productivity and performance. To fix this, VoidZero is building a unified JavaScript toolchain that helps developers ship better products, faster. Their open-source projects – build tool Vite, bundler Rolldown, Rust toolset Oxc, and test runner Vitest – are beloved and widely adopted by developers. Now, they're bringing their unique approach to a tool custom-built for enterprises.

We’re announcing the launch of Nebius Token Factory, the next evolution of Nebius AI Studio. Token Factory is the platform built for production-scale AI. 🔥 Teams are moving fast from closed APIs to open-source models like Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek and GPT-OSS. But at scale, they face the same blockers: unpredictable latency, opaque costs and compliance friction. Token Factory changes that by enabling: - Dedicated inference: Sub-second latency, autoscaling throughput and 99.9% uptime - Enterprise trust: Zero-retention inference, SOC 2 Type II with HIPAA and ISO 27001 - Governed collaboration: Teams & Access Management with RBAC, SSO and unified billing - Fine-tuning and deployment: Adapt open models to your data using LoRA or full fine-tuning, then deploy optimized versions instantly, no infra setup, no GPU juggling. Token Factory is where inference, post-training and governance converge, turning open-source checkpoints into production-grade AI systems. It’s how teams move from experimentation to large-scale, compliant deployment with full visibility and control. 👉 Explore: https://lnkd.in/eTPKyh7G
