We could get 3x the square feet downtown, but how can you beat this? 🌲> 🧱

In August, Mintlify-powered sites recorded 257M agent web requests and 131M human page loads. Agents are becoming the primary audience for company knowledge. Most companies aren’t ready. See what our 2026 State of Knowledge research found.

In January, we decided to make our entire platform drivable by agent. A bit scary! We prided ourselves on having an excellent UI and making it easier to *not* use our product felt counterintuitive. Hard to argue with the results though, requests to our content api are now booming. This represents any time a user (99% of the time an agent) made a successful request to update email content or a workflow. I do think there lives a blueprint in this chart. If you are a platform that prided yourself on an excellent visual experience, you can actually complement that by repurposing your endpoints and making them accessible to users. You will also need to accommodate the agent as a user by allowing realtime updates, shared canvas and more but it's possible!

Gauge now has more recurring revenue than dollars raised. @evandoyleDEV and I raised $2.4M coming out of @ycombinator. Three weeks ago, we passed $2M in annualized revenue. Two weeks ago, we launched agent-led growth. Yesterday, we passed $2.4M. The team is still 5 people (and one excited dog), and we are absolutely hiring 🚀 Might be time for a bigger gong 👀

The cost to build software is approaching zero. "why do you say that?" Today my fantasy league built a prediction market for how successful I'll be at my punishment for losing. (999, don't look it up).

Standard Metrics (@metrics_co) has raised a $20M Series B led by 8VC (@8vc) to accelerate innovation in the private markets! Trillions of dollars of economic activity in the private markets still run on spreadsheets, email threads, and PDFs. This critical ecosystem remains surprisingly analog and inefficient despite financing many of the world’s most innovative companies. This problem matters. A better-functioning innovation economy would lead to new big technological breakthroughs, life-saving medicines, jobs, and game-changing new products. AI expands both the urgency and the scope of this opportunity. New AI models have fundamentally changed how data can be organized, analyzed, and acted upon, and they are beginning to drive rapid software adoption in an industry that has historically lagged behind. We believe AI-native infrastructure will reshape the private markets over the coming decade. Two years ago, we bet our company on the idea of building the AI-native portfolio management platform for venture capital and private equity. That was the single most consequential decision in our history: it led us to create the first MCP server in our space, launch an AI-driven document processing service, and build cutting-edge agentic reporting and analytics tools. Today, we’re proud to support more than 150 investment firms who collectively manage over $400B, along with more than 10,000 of their portfolio companies. 30% of the Forbes Midas List are customers of Standard Metrics. But we’ve still only scratched the surface: we work with roughly 1% of active global VC/PE firms. We’ve raised roughly $50M to date. Most of that capital has come from our customers. Investors in this round alongside 8VC include Salesforce Ventures, Spark Capital, January Capital, First Trust Capital Partners, Socii Capital, Kindergarten Ventures, Calm Ventures, Gaingels, and more. It’s been an honor to partner with some of the world’s most forward-thinking investors on this journey. Thank you so much to our team, customers, investors, and supporters. We’re just getting started!

Don’t use Gauge. Unless you want to get written into every codebase. Coding agents are leading the next wave of growth for our customers including @supabase, @openrouter, @resend, @posthog, @mintlify, @braintrust, and more. This is Agent-led Growth.

Tired of all these founders talking about how much money they raised on their launch videos. Do something cool. We're cooking up something diabolical, provocative, blasphemous. @clarkjacobson02 @ANiswender51028 Stay tuned for a REAL launch video in T minus 10 days.

Your most demanding customers are no longer human. Agents are already actively researching and deciding which products to buy. Agents are installing your product directly into your customer’s codebase. Coding agents are making decisions without ever taking a demo.
