An 88-year-old retired psychiatrist spent his life painting. His care company threw him an art show. That's not a typical line item in senior care. It's the whole idea behind @hellotohera, built by @jennydhlee, on the belief that aging deserves celebration, not just management. Hera is creating a new profession of dedicated senior care experts, covered by insurance, so families get more than logistics. Full conversation with @alysaaco here.

Mahjong is the only major game yet to be solved by AI. Agents can play chess, go, and even poker in EV-optimal ways. If you're a talented engineer in SF, come join the @cogent_security Mahjong Club, hosted monthly at the BCV Speakeasy, and find out why.

Some of the most important healthcare companies are built in the wake of major policy shifts. @hellotohera is one of them. Care coordination has always been someone's full-time job. It just never had a funding model behind it. For patients and caregivers, that looks like managing appointments, referrals, transportation and benefits with no systemic support. In her latest blog, partner @alysaaco explores the new policy changes and what it means for founders building in the space: baincapitalventures.com/insi…

While everyone’s displacing jobs, we’re creating them. A Hero for every family.  @hellotohera’s favorite friend 83 year old Stanley Zareff dropped by our office to learn what being a Hero means and announce our 27M Series A led by @BainCapVC, and continued participation by @Accel and @iaventures 🧵

Millions of families figure out senior care on the fly. @jennydhlee watched hers do it, then built a startup to solve it. Say @hellotohera. A new kind of senior care expert, consisting of nurses and social workers, backed by AI. They handle the coordination work that falls on families with no training and no time. Today, they raised a $27M Series A. This one is for the families!

If you've ever met @justoutquan, you'd recognize his relentless optimism. I was blessed in my first week at @BainCapVC. He taught me 'rizz', won our hackathon, and kickstarted a beautiful friendship. The next two years, I watched him stack up box after box of Costco chicken bakes. In a sea of enterprise slop, he and @raymondhechen stayed steady. They sought the purest expression of themselves. That's @tomo. Their champion and yours too. -- There's truly no other team whose taste in consumer I trust more. Grateful that they chose to bet on us at BCV.

It's been 3 years since AI exploded, but nobody's life has improved outside of Silicon Valley. Tomo is for real humans, like my little brother Lucas and 10,000 other humans taking a chance on themselves every single day.

There are 70,000 self-improvement apps in the App Store. @tomo isn’t one of them. It’s a number you text and it’s putting up engagement numbers that rival the most-used apps in the world. With nothing to open or configure, the relationship builds on every text sent. Proud to lead their $5M Seed. But more than that, we're proud of what Tomo users are going to accomplish. @justoutquan @raymondhechen

Marty Kausas spent the early days of @usepylon sleeping in the office. With no customers and no funding, @marty_kausas survived on the conviction that B2B support was broken and nobody had fixed it correctly. 1,500 customers and 300 legacy migrations later, it's hard to argue with him.

Camp BCV, redwoods edition. A few days off-grid with our Labs Summer Fellows: builders, researchers, and operators interning at top AI companies gathered in Northern California for a three-day kick off retreat. The weekend was built around late-night conversations, river time, and slow mornings in the trees. No agenda overload. Just space to think, connect and swap ideas with people working on hard problems across different corners of the ecosystem. Find us somewhere between a campfire and a lab. Grateful for everyone involved!

.@BusinessInsider named @ajay_bcv one of 22 investors shaping the robotics and physical AI boom. VC investment in the category has grown from $4B in 2019 to $26B in 2025. Ajay has been at it pre-hype when he backed Kiva Systems, led every round, and was the only institutional investor when Amazon acquired the company for $775M in 2012. Congrats, Ajay. businessinsider.com/investor…

Vineet Edupuganti spent years at one of enterprise security's fastest-growing companies, going from ML engineer to product leader. That trajectory gave him a view of the problem most founders never get close enough to see, and @cogent_security is what came out of it. @vineete_5 is exactly the kind of founder we look for.

@ChaseLochmiller — Co-Founder & CEO of @CrusoeAI — on Venture with Grace, sharing what could become AI’s biggest constraint. As AI models continue to scale, the next bottleneck may not be compute — it may be energy. Chase discussed how the path to increasingly powerful AI systems depends on access to abundant, reliable power and the infrastructure required to use it efficiently. This shift is already reshaping how data centers are designed, built, and operated. His key point: the future of AI will be determined not just by advances in models, but by the energy systems that power them. Episode is live now — a fascinating conversation on AI infrastructure, energy, and the next phase of scale.

AI is rewriting how your company's story gets told, and most leaders haven't caught up yet. BCV’s @allisonbraley joined Sean Garrett (@Affirm) and Terra Carmichael (@lyft) at #MediaSummitSF2026 to unpack what that means for brand perception when the narrator is an LLM.

Here’s what really went down at BCV Converge last week: ➔ Enterprises want productivity over cost cuts. Only 15% are proactively reducing headcount. ➔ Junior talent is being accelerated, not replaced. ➔ Consumption pricing is a harder sell than founders expect. This is straight from the leaders making these calls every day. The gap between AI hype and AI reality is still closing.
