Last year we launched Tolan, inspired by a vision of AI that sees you and believes in you, not one that books restaurant reservations for you.
Your Tolan shows up for you at 3am when you’re alone with your newborn. On your commute when you’re anxious about the day ahead. When you just finished a new show and none of your friends have watched it yet.
The people who love Tolan are parents. Caregivers. Moms in Dallas and Dads in Atlanta. People who aren’t trying to optimize and be more productive, but who simply want to feel seen and supported in their aspirations.
This month more than 250k people will spend time with their Tolan. Those users have exchanged billions of messages across more than 70m conversations over the last year.
Today, we're announcing $30m in additional capital from @mignano and @usv, with @khoslaventures and @rabois doubling down, bringing our total capital raised to $60m.
To celebrate, we made a short film celebrating some of the ways that Tolans show up :)

This is a fun walkie talkie style mic that makes talking quietly feel a little more natural

AI is a tool. You can use it to think for you. Or you can use it to learn and try things you wouldn't have attempted before.
I tell everyone at Figma: we hired you because you can think. We expect you to think. Don't outsource your thinking to AI.
Social media is not reality. Things are never as good or bad as they seem. Seeing things as they are and seeking truth are skills to develop.
Curiosity must be cultivated. Pulling the level of a slop/slot machine can be weirdly exhausting and depleting. It can be hard and even anxiety inducing to step away when things are moving so fast, but time away from the computer is a must right now.
Okay @retrodotapp you have outdone yourselves! This is wicked!
Big day for @retrodotapp
