Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception. We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs. On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

Today, we introduce Phota Studio and Phota API, powered by our photography model that brings flagship image model capabilities, personalized to you. With personalization, an image model stops being just playful and starts becoming useful for photography. With Phota Studio, you can: - Reimagine composition, lighting, or posture while still looking like yourself - Create editorial, stylized, and studio-quality portraits of yourself, or bring someone you love into the frame - Revive the blurred shot, bring in the person who missed the group photo, fix the awkward expression - all without losing what made the moment worth keeping With Phota API, you can finally build photo experiences where real people are the core. Marketing assets, editorial shoots, wedding photography: workflows that needed identity fidelity that GenAI couldn't deliver. Until now. Ultimately, we want to make compelling photographs accessible to everyone. Phota API and Phota Studio start to make that possible: empowering people to explore, imagine, and create without losing themselves in the image. With Phota Studio and Phota API, developers can build new photo experiences, while photographers and creators can explore a new kind of AI-native editing and generation. The next photo experience starts here!

Today, Daytona is announcing a $24M Series A, led by @FirstMarkCap, to give every agent a computer. This round reflects what the market is increasingly concluding: the cloud was not built for agents. Full announcement 👇

earlier this year, we launched the first agent monitoring platform now, we are used by some of the fastest growing ai companies (@replit, @framer, @speak, @clay) and just raised a $15m seed round

We published Latent Diffusion four years ago. Turning this lovely technology into a company has been, and continues to be, one of the most rewarding, interesting and plainly insane challenges I have personally ever worked on. The future is exciting: Visual models will become much smarter, faster, and multimodal by design. I am glad to be working on this with the best team on the planet. 🌲

Eventful week for @PhotaLabs last week 1. At Runtime, was next to Jared Leto for dinner, live-demoed phota to him, and he loved it. Means even more knowing he also loves photography. 2. At @figma, presented and live-demoed Phota w/ Jason to a crowd of creative minds. Thanks for an amazing night @designerfund and for inviting us @McK_Parks. 3. Got inspiration from @stuffyokodraws to create virtual memories with @theworldlabs. Looking at you 👀 @BenMildenhall, we need to start with your cat's portraits in a virtual world!

We’re teaming up with @figma for a demo night in SF on October 23. See live demos from @uhrcecilia, @jonathan_arena, @ceciliazhang77, and the Figma Make team, and meet other designer founders building what’s next. A few spots left - apply to attend: luma.com/5ifts8lm

Heading back to my roots in SF next week and looking forward to supporting women in engineering and AI at our annual Seat @ the Table event with female engineering leadership from @runwayml, @SlackHQ, @getdbt and @YouTube. RSVP here: lu.ma/SeatAtTable23

Proud to be included on the @Forbes 2023 Midas Brink List! We are only as good as the founders we get to back & I'm beyond grateful I get to work with the amazing teams at @kevalacare @gomalga @highnotesocial @Highline_Co @BillGOPayments @TrullyAI more! forbes.com/sites/truebridge/…

No better way to start RSA than in a room full of fellow women in cyber! Great to host leaders from @Zscaler @CrowdStrike @PaloAltoNtwks @Snyksec @Tanium @Cisco @CyralInc @SGNL_ai @AppOmniSecurity @StackHawk & many more #StrongerTogether #RSAC2023

The main topics I'm looking to get a pulse on next week at RSA: - Status of enterprise authorization adoption - Best security data sources to build LLMs on - Cloud security remediation - SIEM replacements Lmk if these bring to mind people I should chat with/booths to drop by!

Thrilled to see more investment in robustness and security with @OpenAI x @Bugcrowd openai.com/blog/bug-bounty-p…

Excited about what @ejcx_ and @Caust1c have been building! Reach out to chat more about fast, powerful detection engineering without the headache 🐾

We’re live on @ProductHunt today! We’ve been hard at work to get the Rerun beta ready for this day. We think it’s already a powerful und very useful tool for computer vision developers. It’s build in Rust, on top of egui ❤

Open invitation to apply for the @costanoavc Access Fellowship. We love introducing new people to venture capital. It's advanced the careers of all our fellows & introduced us to some amazing people. costanoa.vc/open-invitation-…

A lot of tips on VC twitter about being a good investor, but far less on being a good board member. Some Friday wisdom from @gsands: "We're often the mediator, facilitator, diplomat -- but be comfortable being direct. Even with a pleasant voice, we have to be the truth tellers"

So you say you want to "shift left" . . . @sgerlach from @StackHawk explains how to get started. bit.ly/3h1lZYR

With Thanksgiving upon us, we'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude to the extraordinary founders who have chosen us. Here's a look back at our CEO Summit, or as @gsands calls it, "The Best Day of the Year!"

Heading to Vegas for AWS re:invent next week!! Would love to catch up with as many people as possible so let me know if you’ll be there 💥 #awsreinvent
