We are proud to announce Long Journey IV, a $181.8 million fund, which will enable us to continue pursuing our mission: to be the "second believers" in the magically weird (the founders are the first believers).

Thank you for seeing us!

The foresight to have seen OSS models inference coming, packaged with insane execution has been a marvel to watch.

I have no words really for how excited I am for @vipulved and team. Let's go!!

Four years ago we made a bet on open-source AI. Today the numbers speak for themselves. Proud to announce our next milestone🚀

We @togethercompute believe intelligence should be abundant, not expensive. Today we announced our Series C funding of $800m @ $8.3B valuation, to continue to build the world's most efficient platform for generative AI. Thanks @nikogallogly for telling our story in @nytimes! shorturl.at/SooOP

Superpower office today

Had the honor of taking two silent auction winners for the yearly inflection grants we (@LongJourneyVC) raise money for to Anduril Industries today. Blown away by the growth and beauty of the company. Everything down to the napkin dispensers is intentional and you can feel the high agency culture all around you while there. Thank you for the generous gift of your time @PalmerLuckey and @mttgrmm and our wonderful donors who made it all possible! Their donation helped us raise money for 8 grants!!!

At Edge Esmeralda 2025, Constellation collected neural data on-site, closed their lead investor, and assembled their founding team. Since then, they have raised ~$10M to build foundation models of the human brain. Last week, we caught up with Avery at @EdgeEsmeralda 2026 ☀️

Yes, we see your flame and we light ours from it and then we relight yours if it grows dim. We are a witness and we are enrolling in your belief about the future. Second believer energy is a thing.

This is brilliant but being a witness of what did happen can be true detraumatization whereas shared conviction is closer to the "second believer" that @cyantist talks about at @LongJourneyVC

We just raised $40M to solve America’s affordability crisis. Groceries are the #1 financial stressor in America. Food prices are up 30% since the pandemic. For the 100 million Americans earning under $50K, the money runs out before the month does. To fix it, Forage is building a network for affordability: 1. For families, we’re building a suite of products to expand financial access 2. For partners, we’re building a revenue growth engine by helping them win on affordability Today, our technology is used in over 100,000 stores across all 50 states. Our payments volume is up 13x YoY. When grocers switch to Forage, they see a 15% lift in EBT revenue. We also launched the Forage app, a free tool that helps cost-conscious families check their EBT balances, save on groceries, and earn rewards on every purchases. US grocery is a $1.5T market. We're just getting started. Onwards! 🚀

We have a ritual I designed at Long Journey when we hire new team members to “knight” them and invite them to declare what they hope to bring to the team. For the residency and fellowship in Edge Esmeralda, we “knighted” the 17 humans embarking on the adventure. It felt goofy at the time and I’m so glad we did it! Ritual.

Official knighted for @JoinEdgeCity @LongJourneyVC and embarking on a season of residencies & returning to ‘summer camp’ 👑🌻 Being moved @heyohelen’s X presence (& manifesting I can someday be as cool as her!)

thrilled to be building at 🦞 @JoinEdgeCity @LongJourneyVC

SO pumped to be apart of this! Thank you @EdgeEsmeralda, @LongJourneyVC, and @JoinEdgeCity for this opportunity!

super excited to be heading to @EdgeEsmeralda as a @LongJourneyVC resident!! 🙂‍↕️ the world is created as we explore it and I’m rly hype to push the boundaries of my own thinking here ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ look forward to sharing my learnings!

A new flock.

We are honored to see our work with @googledeepmind's AlphaEvolve featured alongside major breakthroughs from @googleresearch and @googlecloud, as well as other impactful commercial applications.

Our Stage 1 structure is now shipped, delivered, and ready for testing in Moses Lake, WA. Standing in its full vertical orientation, this flight hardware will be thoroughly vetted before returning to Kent for some final touches before the journey to Cape Canaveral, FL begins.
