Congrats to @call_broccoli (W22) on raising $52M across their Series A and Series B!
Broccoli’s AI agents answer calls for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical companies around the clock, booking jobs directly into the scheduling software contractors already use and following up on open estimates.
After their EV startup stalled, @abhishekjain25 and @adityaketkar knocked on 140 contractor doors until a Sacramento plumbing owner gave them five minutes. They built the first product from her office in three weeks, and today she’s Broccoli’s COO.
More than 1,500 home service businesses now run on Broccoli, with over 10 million customer conversations handled and 2.5 million appointments booked.

We were thrilled to host Samir Kaul, Founding Partner and Managing Director of Khosla Ventures, for a fireside chat in our San Francisco HQ!
As a member of our board and a key investor, Samir has been an invaluable resource to me and our team here at Broccoli.

Voice is one of the most frequent and information-rich form of human communication — and for the first time, AI is making it programmable at scale.
From enterprise automation to personal AI companions, voice agents are transforming how businesses operate and how consumers interact with technology.
Where is AI voice gaining traction?
As AI voice models improve, we’re seeing a shift from voice as a feature to voice as the core product, driving adoption across industries.

Vertical voice agents are some of the fastest growing companies our team @a16z is seeing in the AI era.
But how do you sell a voice agent into businesses? Most customers won't go from fully human call center -> 100% AI overnight.
Four powerful wedges (+ examples of each!) 👇

It’s amazing that no model has caught up with Claude on coding. Even if they look good on benchmark they’re still not as good at generating working good looking modern web apps.
Whatever magic Anthropic did seems very durable.

One of the best indicators of a hot market is YC founders building there.
And these founders are increasingly choosing (or pivoting to) one space...AI voice agents!
There are 90 voice agent startups from recent YC batches. Full list + a breakdown of the verticals of focus 👇

The worst kind of bug is the one that’s rare and seemingly goes away on its own, but whose enigma lingers on in the back of your head for the rest of eternity.
