Demand for AI will outpace the supply of data and compute. The winners will be those who get the most out of every byte and GPU cycle. @flappyairplanes is tackling both, from kernels to pretraining. Congrats to @amspector100, @spectorb, @aidanmantine and the Flappy team on their $1B Series A. ✈️

In 1987, when Bain Capital was ≈3 years old, the early partners came up with the briefest possible mantra for running the firm: make money, have fun, live with integrity. Excited that BCV has another $1.6B to do that. @kevinzhang , @ChristinaPhili5 , and I wrote a bit about those principles and the role that capital should play in a technological revolution: baincapitalventures.com/insi…
Make money. Have fun. Live with integrity. Everything else can change. Fund XI. $1.6B total capital for those who know that it will.

As a former Navy SEAL, @Saronic's CEO and Co-founder @MavrookasD viscerally understands what it means when American maritime capability falters — not as an abstraction or a line item in a defense budget, but as a lived reality for the people operating in that environment. When Dino left the military, he didn't just contemplate America’s maritime and shipbuilding crisis; he decided to fix it. All of us at @BessemerVP are honored to partner with @MavrookasD, @Vbob202, Rob Lehman, Doug Lambert, and the entire Saronic team as they usher in the U.S. Maritime Renaissance. More from @bdeeter @Jayshellah @BenGallagher0 & I on Saronic's mission: bvp.com/news/saronic-technol…
