I know it's a bit of a slow news week, but I wanted to share some thoughts on where I see the software supply chain security space going. Also, I wanted to announce that Chainguard has just raised a $140M Series C from Redpoint, IVP, and Lightspeed to grow and scale our vision of a secure open source supply chain. I’m excited to partner with Tom Loverro, Arsham Memarzadeh, Guru Chahal, Sai Senthilkumar, and Scott Raney, as well as for all of our existing investors (Lenny Pruss, Bogomil Balkansky, Alex Pall, Clay Fisher) to participate again in this next chapter. We’ve come a long way, and I’m incredibly proud of our team and everything we’ve done. But we still have a long way to go, and these supply chains aren’t going to secure themselves! #chainguard #opensource #softwaresupplychainsecurity

We at Spark are incredibly proud to announce our investment in TigerBeetle, led by Natalie Vais. We look forward to partnering with TigerBeetle as they build a financial transactions database for the future. Congratulations to the entire team. Welcome to the Spark family!
Thrilled to announce Spark Capital is leading TigerBeetle's $24M Series A! We couldn't be more excited to support Joran Greef and his team on their journey to build a financial transactions database for the future. ⚡ The world is becoming more transactional. Digital payments have exploded, modern software apps generate thousands of API calls a day, and autonomous AI agents are performing more actions on behalf of users. The need for efficient transaction processing has never been greater. TigerBeetle challenges several core assumptions about OLTP databases and, in doing so, brought us back to the future — one where debits and credits are at the heart of every transaction. They are ultimately building a foundational piece of infrastructure for modern systems of record. It's particularly special to continue the partnership with Joran Greef and team who I've had the privilege of working closely with since the seed. Thanks to existing investors Amplify Partners and Coil and an incredible set of new angels including Alexander Gallego of Redpanda Data, Alex Rattray of Stainless, and Uriel Cohen and Sachin Kumar of Clear Street. Congrats to the TigerBeetle team and we can't wait for things ahead!! 🐯 🪲 🚀 https://lnkd.in/g5HsMCBw

Today, we’re announcing Scale has closed $1B of financing at a $13.8B valuation, led by existing investor Accel. For 8 years, Scale has been the leading AI data foundry helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including autonomous vehicles, defense applications, and generative AI. With today’s funding, we’re moving into the next phase of our journey: accelerating the abundance of frontier data to pave the road to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). “Our vision is one of data abundance, where we have the means of production to continue scaling frontier LLMs many more orders of magnitude. We should not be data-constrained in getting to GPT-10.” - Alexandr Wang, CEO and founder of Scale AI. This new funding also enables Scale to build upon our prior model evaluation work with enterprise customers, the U.S. Department of Defense, and collaboration with the White House to deepen our capabilities and offerings for both public and private evaluations. There’s a lot left to do. If this challenge excites you, join us: https://scale.com/careers Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gVBhaPZ5
