Let's go @Code_Metal_AI!
Big News - Code Metal has been named to the 2026 @TechCrunch Disrupt / @GreenfieldVC #Disruptors60! 🎉
Our mission is to make AI trustworthy for systems that can't fail. Whether it's modernizing legacy software, optimizing code for new hardware, or moving prototypes into production, speed means nothing without trust.
Code Metal combines AI and formal methods to automate complex software engineering work, with independent verification that proves the code works as intended. Because when every line of code matters, "probably right" isn't good enough.
Proud to be in great company here alongside teams advancing AI where it matters the most. 🚀 Check out the full list here 👉️ ordnl.link/v4qFvHg
PS - thank you to @Nasdaq for helping us celebrate 🤩
Spend more time with customers. Stop chasing the biggest logos in the room. And if AI gives you back a few hours, spend them with actual humans.
Our CEO Cait Brumme gets into all of it with @FrankGruber on The Established Podcast. Good advice for founders, whether they're just getting started or already knee-deep in building.
Listen in. 🎧
I recently sat down with Cait Brumme, CEO of @MassChallenge, on The Established Podcast to talk about backing founders, finding customers, startup funding, and how AI is reshaping entrepreneurship.

More than 15 years ago, Joshua Boger helped shape MassChallenge in its earliest days, including as our inaugural board chair.
In 2011, MassChallenge brought Joshua together with Leonide Saad, founder of @alkeuspharma. Joshua later became the company's executive chairman. This September, Alkeus was acquired in a deal valued at up to $800 million.
Now, that story is coming full circle.
Amy and Joshua Boger have made a $2 million founding gift to establish the MC Innovation Fund, giving MassChallenge dedicated resources to pursue growth and new initiatives.
It's a remarkable investment in what comes next, and an invitation for others to join them.
We're deeply grateful to Amy and Joshua for their generosity and longstanding belief in MassChallenge.
