Christina Fa shared this"Halter is an indispensable tool. I would hate to farm without it...I can pretty much run the farm by myself now and I'm 64 years old." We've had so much fun speaking with and learning from Halter customers. From time and labour savings to improved animal welfare to better pasture management, the benefits are endless. Perhaps most importantly, Halter enables a more sustainable lifestyle for farmers, giving them more time with their families. Congratulations to Craig Piggott, Andrew Fraser, Scott Maud and the entire Halter team on closing the Series E. A well-deserved milestone for a team that has consistently executed at the highest level. Unfortunately for my dog, I've had to inform him he's been automated out of a job. For anyone else who wants to work on genuinely hard problems with tangible, real-world impact, Halter is hiring: https://lnkd.in/g5aUsggZChristina Fa shared thisWe’re excited to announce our Series E - a USD$220M ($380M NZD) raise led by Founders Fund with support from our existing investors, at a USD$2B valuation. This funding allows us to accelerate global growth and pursue a far more ambitious product roadmap. We don’t see this as a big milestone, we see it as a commitment. A commitment to our customers and to the future of agriculture. There is enormous potential for technology to transform this industry. To the 2,000+ farmers and ranchers who trust us to be part of your operations: it’s a privilege to serve you. You're the real heroes in this story, changing the world one operation at a time. We now have 1 million cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and the United States signed. Looking ahead, we’re expanding into new markets and growing our team across all functions. We’re building across AI, drones, hardware, and more. We’re looking for exceptional engineers, designers, product builders, and operators to join us. If you want to work hard on meaningful problems, come join us! Why Founders Fund? They back generational companies - SpaceX, Airbnb, Spotify, OpenAI, to name a few. We deeply value their ambition and conviction, and we’re excited to help build the future of agriculture together. And finally, to the Halter team: your grit, hard work and joy are what make this company what it is. Plenty more ahead. - Craig

Christina Fa shared thisWe first led Eucalyptus' Series B in 2021, two years after backing hims & hers Series C. Different continents, different markets, same bet: healthcare should start and end with the patient. Today they're joining forces to build the future of global healthcare together. It's been an incredible journey to be part of. Congratulations to both teams, and the Aussie tech ecosystem for printing another unicorn. Can't wait to see what you build together. https://lnkd.in/epfdCEFDChristina Fa shared thisEucalyptus has signed an agreement to be acquired by hims & hers. When the deal closes, we plan to build the best consumer health business in the world. I'll oversee the company’s international business. I think back to the launch of Hims & Hers as really the beginning of the patient-led transformation that healthcare has been undergoing for the last decade. Seeing a website that felt aspirational, low friction, clearly explained - with a payment model that was approachable - felt revolutionary at a time when the US healthcare system was everything but that. When we were launching Eucalyptus, we drew inspiration from Hims & Hers. So this feels full circle. As we look forward, this patients-first era of healthcare is only accelerating. It's become abundantly clear that in the future, patients will have a relationship with one or many digital clinics where they understand their own health data through regular tracking and diagnostics, use that information to interact with a variety of practitioners, and then take action across a wide range of their healthcare decisions. Hims & Hers is the best-positioned business in the world to be the home for consumer health. They've set the bar for what it means to be focused on the patient for the last decade — and as we accelerate toward the future, being part of what is fast becoming the leading global consumer health platform is extremely exciting. Of course, this is also a moment to look backward and say thank you - to our investors, staff, clinicians, partners and our patients. Eucalyptus started seven years ago as a bet that generalist talent from Australia could build a globally competitive consumer healthcare business. In many ways, this is the achievement of that aspiration. And as we look forward, our team now has the opportunity to be part of building one of the great healthcare businesses in the world — one that transforms hundreds of millions of lives.

Christina Fa shared thisLast week I sat down with Tim Doyle, CEO & Cofounder at Eucalyptus at our AGM. We talked about how Eucalyptus evolved from a house of brands to a healthcare platform expanding from Australia to the world. It’s rare to see a company scale creative marketing, clinical systems, and international operations with equal skill. Today, Eucalyptus is one of the largest, and fastest growing multi-market GLP-1 digital clinics in the world. They've published 20 peer-reviewed studies on the safety and efficacy of their obesity program. Their patients receive holistic care and observe superior outcomes. And they've nailed international expansion into the UK, Germany and Japan. We've been fortunate to partner with them since the Series B. Watching them go from local champion to global operator has been unreal. They're also hiring: https://lnkd.in/gRXCw3HV

Christina Fa shared thisA huge congrats to Craig and the Halter team on closing their $100m Series D. Halter is building the operating system for pasture-based farming, tackling labour shortages, land constraints, and ecological pressure with a beautifully engineered, full-stack solution. We are so proud (and bullish!🐂) to bet the farm on Halter as they scale across greenfield markets in the US and beyond! More on why we invested here: https://lnkd.in/e56WsBRKChristina Fa shared thisCraig here. Some exciting news. We’ve closed a Series D funding round, raising NZD$165M // USD$100M to help farmers and ranchers around the world to be more productive and sustainable. 🐄 For such a milestone there is only one fitting place to start. Thank you Halter farmers and ranchers. You have backed us, challenged us, shared feedback and helped shape Halter into what it is today. Your willingness to pioneer a better way to farm is the reason Halter exists and the reason we keep pushing hard. To the Halter crew. What a fun, hard, stressful and epic journey it’s been and will continue to be. Your grit, ambition, commitment to the mission and obsession with our customers is everything. Thank you. We are just getting started. (…and hiring - please join us!) 🙌🏻 A bit of detail. The round was led by BOND, a global tech investment firm, with support from NewView Capital and continued backing from our early investors - Bessemer Venture Partners, DCVC, Blackbird, Icehouse Ventures, Ubiquity Ventures, and Promus Ventures. A big thanks to all our early and new partners. We’re so stoked for the next phase, another level of impact, ambition and scale. (Honestly it was too hard to pick one photo for this moment, so here’s a snippet from my favourites) 📸 Cheers Craig

Christina Fa shared thisLooking forward to the Women’s Venture Capital Summit next week! Venture secondaries are an increasingly important tool for both founders and investors—providing liquidity while reshaping cap tables to help drive long-term growth. As market dynamics continue to evolve, what is the role of venture secondaries? Are they more than just a short-term solution to today’s liquidity challenges? Excited to explore these questions on the venture secondaries panel on February 5th. #WVCS25

Christina Fa liked thisExcited to share that I've joined Alceon in the Private Equity team. Alceon PE backs founder-led businesses in the Australian lower mid-market. The team has invested in 10 businesses over the past six years, with 4 exits delivering a 58% weighted net IRR. We've just launched the Alceon Private Equity Access Fund to continue building on that track record. Reach out if you would like to learn more.Christina Fa liked thisThe Australian Financial Review has covered the launch of the Alceon Private Equity Access Fund — our vehicle for wholesale investors to co-invest alongside us in founder-led businesses across Australia's lower mid-market. It's a part of the market our team knows better than most. Led by Zac Midalia alongside Rahil Gupta and now Alex Tandl, Alceon's private equity team has spent six years building a track record in exactly this space, with ten investments, and four exits — including Efex, sold to Advent Partners, and Orange Hire, acquired by NYSE-listed United Rentals.

Christina Fa liked thisExcited to continue supporting OpenAI as the company builds on its momentum and reaches this significant milestone. At The D. E. Shaw Group, we are proud to be a co-lead investor in this round, alongside a strong group of partners and co-investors. This reflects how quickly AI is becoming central to both consumer and enterprise applications. It’s encouraging to see strong alignment among leading technology partners and investors around both the opportunity and the responsibility ahead. Looking forward to what comes next!Christina Fa liked thisToday, we officially closed our latest funding round with $122 billion in committed capital at a post money valuation of $852 billion. It’s a historic number. But for me, what matters more is what it represents. We’re building the core infrastructure for AI, making it possible for anyone, anywhere, to build. From individuals to the smallest business to the largest enterprise, this is about putting powerful tools into more hands and seeing what people create with them. That ambition only works because of the partners who believe in it alongside us. This round was anchored by strategic partners Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank Group Corp., with continued support from Microsoft. SoftBank Group Corp. co-led alongside a16z, D. E. Shaw Ventures, MGX, TPG, and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates. There’s deep conviction here across global capital, and what excites me most is how that conviction allows us to widen access. Our mission is to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity, and that means expanding who can use it and who can participate in the value it creates. Through inclusion in ARK ETFs and broader distribution channels, more people now have a path to both build with AI and share in its long-term upside. OpenAI was the fastest technology platform to reach 10 million users, the fastest to 100 million users, and soon the fastest to one billion weekly active users. Within a year of launching ChatGPT, we reached $1B in revenue. By the end of 2024 we were generating $1B per quarter. We are now generating $2B in revenue per month. At the same time, our Leadership across consumer and enterprise is accelerating: ➡️ ChatGPT has 6x the monthly web visits and mobile sessions than the next largest AI app, while total AI time spent is 4x the next largest AI app and 4x all others combined. ➡️ Our APIs now process 15B+ tokens per minute, and Codex serves more than 2M weekly users, up 5x in the past three months. Enterprise now makes up more than 40% of our revenue, and is on track to reach parity with consumer by the end of 2026. Underpinning all of this is compute. It’s easy to talk about models and products, but compute is the engine behind it all. It’s what allows us to build better systems, move faster, and reach more people. With this funding, we can invest at the scale needed to deliver intelligence more efficiently to consumers, to enterprises, and to builders everywhere. That’s the part that keeps me energized. Not just what we build, but what others will build on top of it. Looking ahead, we’re building an AI superapp - bringing ChatGPT, Codex, and agents into one place. Why it matters? This is how AI becomes truly useful. Over time, that value will flow back into the economy, to companies, to communities, and increasingly to individuals. Let’s go build! https://lnkd.in/gC_iXPDkOpenAI raises $122 billion to accelerate the next phase of AIOpenAI raises $122 billion to accelerate the next phase of AI

Christina Fa liked thisChristina Fa liked thisExciting portfolio news: SAP has announced an agreement to acquire Reltio. As enterprises race to adopt AI, one constraint keeps surfacing: the data layer isn’t ready. More than a decade ago, Reltio founder Manish Sood saw this coming. After years working with complex enterprise systems, he recognized that traditional approaches to data management weren’t built for a world defined by constant change. Reltio was his answer. The company pioneered context intelligence: the ability to continuously harmonize, unify, and enrich data in real time, giving organizations the trusted data needed to power modern applications and agentic AI. Today, more than 2,000 organizations globally rely on Reltio across industries like healthcare, financial services, and life sciences. This outcome reflects years of disciplined execution. Proud to have partnered with Manish and the entire Reltio team on this journey. Congratulations to all!

Christina Fa liked thisSo BULLish we’re betting the farm 🐮Christina Fa liked thisCongratulations to Craig Piggott and the Halter team on their $220M Series E! Agriculture is one of the oldest industries in the world, yet one of the least instrumented. We partnered with Halter in their Series D believing that their platform would fundamentally change how farms and ranches operate. Our conviction has only deepened since then. Halter gives farmers and ranchers real-time visibility into and control over their herds and land. What once required physical infrastructure and manual effort can now be managed digitally. Today, 1 million cattle wear Halter collars across New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S., each one capturing continuous intelligence on animal behavior, land conditions, and grazing outcomes. That proprietary dataset compounds with every collar, farm, and season. Very proud to continue backing this vision and team.
