I’m thrilled to share that we’ve raised our Series A. It's a $17.5M round led by Accel. I joined Priya Anand from Bloomberg to dive deeper into why now is the right time to harness the power of AI in support of a more sustainable fashion ecosystem. Link in the comments. 1. Predicting demand + reducing waste are age-old retail challenges — and technology is finally here to overcome them. 2. Sustainability-obsessed brands like Reformation are leading a culture shift, rooted in their business models and articulated in their practices. 3. It’s AND, not OR. AI-powered inventory decisions boost revenue and reduce waste Ferdinand and I created Syrup after partnering directly with industry veterans who believed in a world where brands could be more sustainable without sacrificing profitability, but did not see a clear path forward. That’s changing. We’re incredibly excited that so many others believe in our mission. And we’re just getting started. I want to offer a special thank you to the team that brought us this far. Our lofty goal is to create a world where commerce is no longer wasteful by solving (some of) the industry’s hardest problems — and it takes extraordinary people to make that a reality.

From a VC perspective, companies like Revv are the dream. A technical team building in a fast growing (but hidden) market, with a product uniquely enabled by newly invented tech. And most importantly, a product that generates substantial revenue for customers 💰 💰 💰 So what does Revv do? First, some background. Modern vehicles are full of sensors which power features like reverse parking and blind spot detection. When vehicles are involved in a collision, these sensors need to be recalibrated. Sensor calibration involves reading the fine print in vehicle documentation and varies for every make, model and year - there are actually over 500,000 calibration permutations that exist today! The end result is that technicians simply don't perform these calibrations because it's too much work 🚗 🚗 🚗 Revv's software uses LLMs to surface the appropriate calibrations to technicians, resulting in an incremental $1200 revenue per job. 🤑 Around 50% of vehicles on the road today have sensors and this number will approach 100% in the coming years. Revv is poised to ride this tailwind and we at 1984 Ventures are delighted to have led their seed round. Adi Rashmi Tucker Ramy Aaron Farzad Mark

So excited to announce our Seed fundraise + launch a new self-serve product to help sales teams build instant pipeline! We've spoken with hundreds of sales leaders and there's a clear consensus -- outbound is not working as well as it used to. There's a lot of excitement around the potential of AI, but nobody has cracked it. Kunal Punera and I see a clear opportunity to rethink outbound workflows from the ground up, with AI and data triggers at the core. We're lucky to partner with sales tech veterans like Alex Kayyal from Lightspeed, Godard Abel from G2, and Dharmesh Shah from Hubspot, with participation from Ramy Adeeb and Samit Kalra from 1984 Ventures, Jared Friedman from Y Combinator, Aneel Ranadive from Soma Capital, and many more!
