@GVteam
Launched as Google Ventures in 2009, GV supports innovative founders moving the world forward.
Scaling asks founders to move from chief problem solver to chief orchestrator. GV Executive Talent Partner @hughes_rhys shares how high-EQ founders build trust, regulate under pressure, and lead through the chaos of scale.
.@midihealth CEO and co-founder Joanna Strober and GV’s Cathy Friedman sat down with @inc to talk about how Midi is building beyond menopause care to support women across more stages of life.

“We have 40 AI unicorns in our portfolio, and we invested in three quarters of them before they were worth $1B.” At @modular’s ModCon 2026, @DaveMuni shared where he sees the next opportunity: founders applying today’s AI stack to problems they deeply understand.
New from @tryramp this week: Router.com, a single endpoint to cut inference costs, now available to everyone. Read more from @eglyman on how teams are saving time and money.
Eric Glyman@eglyman·in the end, AI comes down to one number: return on what you spend. router.com raises it by delivering the right model for every request. our customers are spending 40% less for the same work. proud of @vral and the @tryramp team, eager to work hard for customers. x.com/vral/status/20…
“The job to be done is to make sure these companies have capital, talent, conviction, and we give them the ambition to stay in the UK.” At @enterprisebrit’s launch event, @thulme shared his perspective on what UK AI companies need to capitalize on this moment, and how to create conditions for ambitious founders to build and scale.
“The next phase of AI is not about building better models. It’s about connecting those models to the private data and systems that run the enterprise, while maintaining control over the data that matters most.” - @emaxerrno, CEO and Co-founder, @Redpandadata Read more below on Redpanda’s record Q2.
Redpanda Data@redpandadata·Q2 was pure 🔥 The reason for our record quarter is simple: enterprises are moving AI agents from experiments into production, and that requires infrastructure that didn't exist before. Agents need real-time access to private data to act. Companies need visibility and control over what those agents can access and do. Huge thanks to our customers, partners, and the team for getting us here. 🙌 t.co/9ExS2hnnVU
Congrats to @clattner_llvm @iamtimdavis and the @Modular team on #ModCon2026. Event takeaways from @davemuni below:
Dave Munichiello 🇺🇸@davemuni·Great to be back at another stellar @Modular developer conference: #ModCon2026! Thanks to @iamtimdavis for leading a deeply engaging discussion on AI infrastructure, the economics of training and inference, and the looming massive impact of open models. Takeaway: Efficient open models can achieve 90% of frontier performance at 10% of the cost. Soon, most applications outside of science and cybersecurity won’t require frontier models, for the same reason you don't hire a physics PhD for customer support. Congrats to Tim, @clattner_llvm, and the entire Modular team on another impressive event (their first as a @Qualcomm company!).
Congrats to @WinstonWeinberg, @GabePereyra, and the entire team on Harvey II! It’s been remarkable to watch them keep raising the bar for what AI can do for lawyers and continue pushing their vision for the future of legal work forward.
Harvey@harvey·Introducing Harvey II: smarter agents from the start. - Featuring Harvey Tenet, our first model trained for legal work - Built around matters and projects - Agents start with the files, context, permissions, and history they need - Assign tasks to lawyers or agents, then track and review the work - Harvey remembers how you work and writes like you
Software factories are reshaping how companies build and ship software. @ZachLloydTweets and @Warpdotdev are taking an open infrastructure approach, giving teams flexibility over their models and tools while continuously improving how software gets built. Exciting launch!
Warp@warpdotdev·Introducing Warp Factories: open, flexible infrastructure for building cloud software factories. - Configure your factory as code - Use any model and any harness - Measure quality with evals and benchmarks on your own data - Built-in self-improvement and memory
“AI for science is going to be a fascinating place to be in the next 10 years.” GV’s @DaveMuni joined @EdLudlow on @BloombergTV to discuss his enthusiasm for AI and science, @Modular’s acquisition by @Qualcomm, and perspective on making early bets in AI for a decade — including @sambanovaai, @snorkelai and @flappyairplanes. t.co/s9XwKszWDa
