@hoomanradfar and team have executed extraordinarily well in one of the most difficult markets out there, and navigated the AI transition better than nearly anyone else I've seen.
Their only real screw up was not waiting until BTV 1 was set up to raise their seed round 😂
Collective has raised $100M to build the future of solo business.
We’re building the AI-native financial OS that gives every Business-of-One the back office of a much bigger company.
Thank you to our members, our team and our investors.

Things you love to see --> @StickerCommerce launched today as a research lab building RL environments + benchmarks to train & evaluate AI agents in procurement
Sticker started out running procurement infra for real bizs, so its environments simulate the full flow from request to payment
Agents handle backorders, follow purchasing policies, & resolve invoices (that don’t match what was ordered or received)
US bizs spend $20T+ a year buying from other bizs & frontier models still can’t do this reliably
Frontier labs are already using Sticker’s environments to post-train their models on real procurement work! If you’re doing the same & want to see a sample, hit them up @YYahyaRao + @SuyashHasPowers
Today @SuyashHasPowers and I are launching @StickerCommerce, a research lab that builds environments and benchmarks to train and evaluate AI agents in procurement.
Sticker began as procurement infrastructure for real businesses. We saw firsthand where purchasing breaks down, and our environments train agents to handle those failures.
We’re already working with frontier labs and are backed by Better Tomorrow Ventures, Slow Ventures, and angels.
If you’re post-training a model and want to see a sample of our environments, get in touch.

Agents are all the talk rn so I'm VERY excited that we are co-hosting a fireside on building agents next week in NYC. Ft two amazing founders: @jgreze (CEO of @TownAI) + @GeorgeKurdin (CEO of @usemonk)
Town (the AI assistant that learns you) is reportedly raising at $1B (we at @btv_vc use the product + love it!) + Monk's agents manage billions in accounts receivable
Very diff approaches, both crushing
Request an invite below + shoutout to @coastpayments for co-hosting w/ us!

The way I work has changed more in the last two years than in the prior ten. Now my work starts by cothinking with an agent, but I get stuck when I try to share that context with my team. I built artifacts in Valet to keep that thinking going.

Basis has been working with many of the largest accounting firms over the past few years.
Now they've built a product for small firms & solo practitioners... send this to your accountant!
“It’s just doing the work and I’m just reviewing it.” — Todd Whitcomb, Managing Partner at Whitcomb & Sheridan.
For the past few months, we’ve been building Basis for Small Firms with a community of small firm owners across tax, CAS, and audit.
Accountants in our community beta are already getting 10–20 hours back each week.
Today, we’re inviting more firms in.
Firm leaders can join the beta here: getbasis.ai/solutions/small-…

EPIC MODE ACTIVATED
President Trump stared down Xi Jinping and delivered a masterstroke that left the room in silence:
“I brought the 30 most powerful business leaders on the planet to these talks… and they all said yes. I didn’t send the second-in-command or the vice president.
I wanted the number one from each empire! Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and the other titans… the best in the world are here, right in front of you.”
Then, with his winner’s smile, he sealed the deal:
“They’re here today to pay respect to you and to China. They come hungry to do business, invest, and create. From our side, it’ll be 100% reciprocal.”
The message is clear: America isn’t coming to beg. It’s coming with the supreme bosses of global innovation to lay all the cards on the table.
This isn’t normal diplomacy… this is high-voltage diplomacy!

Today @usemonk is announcing our $25M Series A co-led by @footworkvc and @AcrewCapital with continued support from @btv_vc.
$3T sits in U.S. accounts receivable. Our mission is to close the gap between earning revenue and receiving it.
For most B2B companies, that gap is 45-90 days, thousands of hours of manual work per year, and millions in trapped working capital. It's a tax every growing business pays.
Monk invented the Intelligent Collections category.
Most AR tools automate the easy parts. We built for the edge cases, portal uploads, PO mismatches, and disputes.
On average, customers see 40% lower DSO, 24% higher collections response rate and 25+ hours/month saved.
Thank you to @ElevenLabs, @profound, @siro_app, and our customers for the trust.
Our platform typically pays for itself in month one.

Excited to announce this milestone.
We are deploying long-horizon agents at scale that can do real work in the real economy. Our agents can already operate reliably for hours at a time and I expect that to be days by the end of the year.
We can barely keep up with demand. If you want to come join and work at the frontier for the most intense, fast-paced couple years of your life, send me a note.
We've raised $100m at a $1.15b valuation from @Accel, @GVteam, and existing investors to accelerate deployment of the most capable and accurate accounting agents across CAS, tax, audit, and advisory.
Basis is used by 30% of the Top 25 accounting firms and dozens more across the Top 150.
Today we're announcing the first accounting agent to complete a business tax workbook end-to-end.
Our focus on production-grade, long-horizon agents means that 12 months from now, the work Basis handles will make even this look routine.
We're looking for a few very intense people who want to build at the frontier.

Congrats to @InScopehq on their $14.5M Series A led by @NorwestVP w/ participation from @stormventures, @lightspeedvp, and us @btv_vc!
We led InScope's pre-seed and have doubled down at every round since. The original thesis was clear: financial reporting is expensive, manual, and painful. Companies spend $30B+ annually on audits and the profession has lost 300K accountants in two years. Mary and Kelsey built a rules engine to automate GAAP-compliant financial statements and audit-ready docs.
Since then, deeply integrating AI has fundamentally expanded what's possible, going from automating specific outputs to tackling the full spectrum of manual work that bogs accountants down.
The results: 5x customer growth in 12 months, working with major firms like CohnReznick, a top 15 national accounting firm, and saving accountants 20%+ of their time.
Just getting started. Let's go!!

Revenue automation software has a credibility problem.
Numbers appear in dashboards. And accountants are told to just trust them.
Our team at @usemonk took a different approach. We set out to make every number traceable and defensible.
Today, @zhou_squared shares our product philosophy on building for accounting/finance professionals.
We’ve been fortunate to have the support of our customers and experts in this build. Thank you for continued feedback!
