Wrote about what happens to the VC diligence process when the grunt work takes ninety seconds instead of an afternoon. How much of what felt like thinking was really just labor? twitter.com/BrandonGleklen/sta...

When building complex skills in LLMs like Claude, the longer a conversation goes, the more rules the model forgets. @BrandonGleklen breaks down why the fix isn't writing better rules, it's to make the wrong output impossible by moving deterministic rules out of prose and into code.

Freight fraud is a growing, multi-billion-dollar problem, driven by a system that still relies heavily on trust and self-reported carrier information. Battery portfolio company @GenLogs is changing that. The company has built a nationwide network of proprietary roadside sensors that captures real-time truck activity across U.S. highways. Combined with machine learning and video AI, GenLogs generates ground-truth data that helps brokers and shippers verify carrier activity in real time. We’re proud to back CEO @ryanjoycevoice and the GenLogs team as they build a new, AI-powered source of truth for freight! Ryan shares more in @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/stevebanker/2...…

“Doubling down on what's gotten us here” is @ClickHouseDB's theme for 2026: "ClickHouse has been a back-end database to a lot of agentic workflows over the past couple years, even before the ChatGPT moment.” “We're being used by Lovable, Cursor, Anthropic, OpenAI. Pretty much every leading AI company right now is using ClickHouse in some sort of capacity." That relentless focus is showing up everywhere, from their recent Series D announcement valuing the company at $15B to the acquisition of open-source LLM observability platform @langfuse. @ceo_clickhouse via @tbpn

From the war for star talent to standing out in an increasingly crowded market, Battery GPs Marcus Ryu and Dharmesh Thakker reflect on how the fears founders face today compare to past tech cycles. “The main thing I worried about is are we going to run out of money and will it be game over? They just assume that if the company's achieving market traction, capital will take care of itself.” “Every founder thinks about talent, I thought about it all the time. But I didn’t have this acute sense that if I’m not getting the very best and the brightest right now, we’re going to lose.” “Raising a lot of money, just like hiring a lot of star engineers, is not going to make you succeed in this day and age. Value comes from the end customer problems you're solving.” Watch the full discussion on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=JjGjhb9Xe3...…

We’re excited to co-lead @Onebriefapp's $200M Series D round, bringing the defense software company’s valuation to more than $2B – nearly doubling in valuation since our initial investment in its Series C just half a year ago. Today, Onebrief’s software is trusted across most U.S. combatant commands to digitize and coordinate operational planning, replacing fragmented, manual planning workflows with a modern approach. This round will help Onebrief scale rapidly and further establish the platform as the foundation for modern command operations It also supports Onebrief’s acquisition of Battle Road Digital, a leader in wargaming and simulation technology, significantly expanding the platform’s ability to support real-time, high-stakes operational decision-making.
