David Blumberg posted thisAMERICA, ISRAEL AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ACT AGAINST TYRANNY IN IRAN! At long last, this is the dawn of a golden age for the long suffering Iranian people as well as for Israel and the Middle East and the world. This necessary regime change action is long overdue, but it is finally happening, and G-d willing, the Iranian people will take action and be victorious against their tyrannical regime which has oppressed and terrorized them and so many others for so long. Enough is enough! We send gratitude to our U.S. Military forces, President Trump and this entire Administration. Rare among contemporary leaders, President Trump has demonstrated the vision, discernment and unparalleled courage to lead this extraordinary effort. Amen! Kudos also to Israel, the IDF and the government of P.M. Bibi Netanyahu. By necessity and with great dexterity, Israel has been punching above its geopolitical weight for decades, and in recent years has become the most crucial force for stability and peace in the world as a strong committed ally of the United States in a very important, dangerous and unstable part of the world. We don’t want war for war’s sake, and we hope that civilian casualties will be minimized, but if this action can help bring about a safer, more stable, more just and prosperous world, we will look back on this period as an absolute breakthrough in modern geopolitical history. The implications are absolutely astounding and all in a positive direction: 1) Representative government triumphing over tyranny – effectively changing the balance of power between the free world and the tyrannical regimes. 2) Highly improved geopolitical stance for the United States and its allies, enabling focus in the Pacific region. 3) Restoration of American credibility and deterrence that will help prevent aggression against our Asian allies. 4) Reduced need for military focus managing Middle East instability. 5) Much greater stability and reduced tension in the Middle East leading to unprecedented peace, security and prosperity for Israel and the Gulf. 6) Freedom after decades of oppression for the noble and cultured Iranian people. 7) Control of the oil flow of the world firmly under American supervision rather than our rivals or enemies. This will eventually lead to significantly increased oil output from Iran, which will help their economy and lower oil prices worldwide. 8) Reduced refugee flows from the Middle East, improving demographic outcomes in Europe and other recent recipients of mass immigration. G-d bless the American, Israeli and other military forces that are taking action tonight and in coming weeks or as long as needed. May their actions bring swift, clearcut victory, and may the Iranian people finally come to know freedom and the blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We wish safety for our colleagues, portfolio companies and friends in Israel, for Iranian civilians and for all our allied troops.

David Blumberg reposted thisDavid Blumberg reposted thisAgentic AI isn’t incremental - it’s a platform shift. In a recent survey of the Blumberg Capital Innovation Council, 83% believe adopting agentic AI will be mission-critical to staying competitive by the end of 2026. For growth-stage teams, this means moving beyond experimentation. As Jared Katzen of our Venture Growth Fund advises: focus on measurable ROI, operational leverage, and enabling teams to build with AI - not just ship AI features. We’re seeing this play out across our portfolio: Trulioo, Angle Health, Pipe17, BioCatch, and Hydrolix, among other growth-stage companies are embedding AI into core workflows, trust infrastructure, and data systems to drive durable scale. 🧭 Learn more in the latest Compass newsletter.Scaling in the Agentic AI Era: What Growth-Stage Leaders Are Getting RightScaling in the Agentic AI Era: What Growth-Stage Leaders Are Getting RightBlumberg Capital

David Blumberg reposted thisDavid Blumberg reposted thisI’m excited to share a major milestone for Mytaverse. We’ve signed a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This collaboration focuses on delivering AI-enabled immersive experiences for enterprise use cases. Working with AWS, we will align technology roadmaps and collaborate on go-to-market efforts to help organizations deploy intelligent, browser-based 3D environments for training, onboarding, and workforce enablement. For us, this is about combining AI, real-time 3D, and cloud infrastructure in a practical way, so large organizations can scale immersive experiences securely without requiring special hardware or downloads. AWS’s cloud capabilities provide a strong foundation as we continue to expand these solutions, and we’re looking forward to what’s ahead.

David Blumberg reposted thisDavid Blumberg reposted thisPortfolio update: Today, Tellen and Grant Thornton (US) announced a strategic partnership and Tellen's acquisition of Grant Thorton's qm.x application platform - a cloud-enabled application and audit quality solution with a global user base of more than 20 Grant Thornton firms, as well as numerous other audit firms. As audit firms face rising regulatory scrutiny, growing data volumes, and increasing expectations around consistency and oversight, this partnership reflects a broader shift toward AI platforms that can be applied firmwide, not as isolated tools, but as part of core audit workflows. “This partnership is a win for everyone,” said Jeff Hughes, Audit & Assurance partner at Grant Thornton LLP, who led the initial creation and launch of qm.x. “The qm.x platform will reach new heights under Tellen’s dedicated team - and its users, many of whom are global Grant Thornton firms, will benefit from fast innovation, strong alignment with audit quality, and a modern foundation for a future focused on AI.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gSGUz4ie

David Blumberg shared thisI had the pleasure of speaking to students at University of California, Berkeley last week. I enjoyed sharing my journey into venture capital and investing in Israeli innovation, but I learned just as much from them. I was impressed, but not surprised, by the “CALiber” of these students: curious, engaged, and thoughtful question-askers. Their energy and perspective are a reminder of how much we can learn from the next generation of leaders. Thank you Patrick Van Kerckhove, Romie Coffler, David Levin, Rabbi Gil, Chabad at UC Berkeley, TAMID Group, Cal AEPi, and many others for bringing us together. https://lnkd.in/gcZZ_R2RDavid Blumberg shared thisFrom Boca Raton, FL to Berkeley, CA, the TAMID Group at Berkeley was honored to hear from David Blumberg, founder and managing partner of Blumberg Capital. David shared his incredible personal and professional journey, insights on investing in Israel, the Startup Nation, and lessons from backing companies at day zero that are now unicorns, including Braze, DoubleVerify, and Hootsuite. Thank you, David, for taking the time to inspire our members and for sharing what it truly means to build with conviction from the ground up. And a huge thank you to Chabad at UC Berkeley, Cal AEPi, and Deann Sonoda for helping make this event possible.

David Blumberg liked thisDavid Blumberg liked thisLos Angeles → Philadelphia → New York → Connecticut → Boston → Miami → Orlando. Six states. One intense week. Then a storm. Flights delayed. Then canceled. I’m stuck. I finally land in Miami — and reality hits again. Israel’s airspace closes because of the war. No flights. No clear return date. At this point, I’m not sure if this is a roadshow or an extended stay. When things are out of your control, you notice what isn’t. Three things became even clearer. 1. 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 - The kind who rearrange meetings, reshuffle schedules, and make the time again - because it matters to them. Honestly, some of the people I was happiest to get “stuck” with. 2. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 - David Blumberg, Yodfat Harel Buchris, Steve Mock, Lior Carmel and everyone at Blumberg Capital, thank you for always showing up, always taking care, and somehow having an office everywhere I got stuck. A special thanks to David, who turned the fact that I was stuck in Miami into an opportunity - opening his home and organizing a CISO dinner on the spot. 3. 𝐀 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 - Yuval David and Nur Shahaf Meir built this roadshow from scratch and kept everything moving even when plans shifted. Within minutes, things were adjusted and momentum stayed strong. That’s what being Aryon is all about. Thank you to Josh D. and Ruta B. for being part of the roadshow and for being such meaningful partners along the way. And last but not least Ariel Litmanovich, Yair Ladizhensky and Shira Zeltner Weiss — my core team. None of this would look the same without you. Yes, I’m tired. But mostly, I’m grateful. Sometimes you plan everything perfectly and still get a storm. Sometimes you get two. The rest is out of your hands. What matters is who’s in it with you when it happens. More than anything, I just hope everyone back home stays safe and healthy. 🇮🇱 Aryon Security

🚨NEW EPISODE: Recorded live at FUTURE TITANS 2026 - Jeff Perry of Carta sat down with the iconic Seth Levine, co-founder of Foundry. Seth has been in venture for 25 years, built Foundry from scratch as an emerging manager himself, and has backed about 50 emerging manager funds through his fund of funds. He has genuinely seen every side of this table. They went deep on building Foundry, why VCs are in the influence business, not the decision business, and why the concentration problem in venture is not only bad for LPs, but also for the innovation ecosystem overall. And why Seth's new book, Capital Evolution, is so important for the future of America. 🎧 Links to listen... Apple: https://lnkd.in/ehQUQ2EM Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eU4FExpg

Acequia Capital • 4K followers
This week Tulip Interfaces became Acequia Capital's 23rd unicorn company. When we made the first investment into Tulip in 2015, it was clear to Hank and I that we were early. It was going to take some time, but that massive legacy industries had no idea the amount of innovation and value was out there, waiting to be won by companies that could master software and machine intelligence. These observations and others led us to develop two investment theses we’ve been executing on since; what we termed “New Industrials.” Fast forward 10 years and the idea that a broader industrial reinvention is underway is now almost a given across the capital markets and leading companies. A movement has sprung up around us. It’s much more in vogue to back physical technology startups now, but most investors misunderstand what great ones look like, and how numerous the barriers to adoption are. We’re fortunate to benefit from a decade of lessons and insights from watching up close as incredible founding teams have built immensely valuable organizations, these include Stoke Space, Radiant, Formlabs, Atomic Industries, Applied Atomics, Harbinger, Dirac, Inc., Rainmaker Technology Corporation, AnySignal, EthonAI, Flow Engineering, Milvus Advanced, Rivelin Robotics, Adaptyv, KMB Telematics Inc., Tactian, Nimble Precision, sensmore, Hyperdrives, Ethos Space Resources, Antaris, TransAstra, Rightbot Technologies, Provectus Algae, Arctoris, Flexe, Coronal Technologies, Exapto, Visolis, Vorticity Inc., XENOPS AI, and many others. My takeaway from 10 years of investing in industrial reinvention is that we are still at the beginning. We have a long way to go and the next 10 years will move a lot faster than the last. Thanks to our founders for the continued trust and partnership.

Today Isembard announced a $50m Series A fundraise led by Union Square Ventures, less than a year after Notion Capital led their Seed round. 💥This is a company right at the intersection of AI & supply chain sovereignty & they’re exceeding even our most optimistic expectations. By the end of the year they will have 25 factories across the UK, US, Germany, France & Ukraine. 💥Isembard is rapidly scaling its network of AI-first factories for precision manufacturing at the same time as market demand is accelerating. Macro forces (reshoring, rising defence spend, concentration risk in Asia, and the growth of neo-primes) are structurally increasing demand for fast, local, flexible manufacturing that the current industry is unable to deliver on. 💥The innovation is in the way the company builds and franchises factories as a product with tightly integrated units of machines, software, robotics, & process intelligence that turn design files into certified components with speed & reliability. 💥Their AI software platform, MasonOS, connects all sites into a single operating system, replacing fragmented shops with standardised, high-performance industrial nodes & enabling real-time quoting, predictable delivery, & low defect rates. By owning the full production stack, Isembard delivers premium manufacturing performance with the scalability & flexibility of a software platform. 💥We are at the top of the AI hype cycle and there are understandable concerns about the ROI on the vast sums of money being invested into this new super-cycle. But, the ROI for Isembard is both clear and compelling. They will deliver components 10x faster and at 50% of the cost of current suppliers. They will also build a de-centralised, global network of factories to meet the growing demand for national or regional sovereignty. 💥This is a company with a clear vision to disrupt a massive, fragmented $1.8tn component manufacturing market. Today marks another huge stride towards that vision. And they are only just getting started. We’re thrilled to be on this journey with Alexander Fitzgerald & the team & we’re also excited to welcome Rebecca Kaden & USV into the investor base.

Draper House Americas • 5K followers
Today we officially kick off our $2M pre seed round for Salubrum (Backed by Forum Ventures), supported by Forum Ventures, Coeus Collective Ventures, and Draper House Americas. Healthcare companies spend over $30B a year trying to acquire patients. The problem is not media. The problem is timing. Every time a patient approaches a healthcare decision a moment opens. Which doctor to see. Which procedure to pursue. Which treatment to start. For the companies involved in that decision, knowing that moment exists is incredibly valuable. Salubrum (Backed by Forum Ventures) is building the intelligence layer that maps those decision moments across the U.S. patient population. Our system aggregates large healthcare datasets covering 300M+ patient identities and uses them to predict when individuals are approaching important healthcare decisions. That signal can then be used by providers, pharma companies, payers, and other healthcare organizations trying to reach patients at the right time. Our first wedge is patient acquisition for healthcare providers and brands, but the underlying intelligence layer has much broader applications wherever patient behavior influences economic decisions. Over the past months we have quietly built the foundation. • Early pilots validating our patient intent scoring system • Distribution partnerships forming across healthcare platforms • Backed by Forum Ventures, Coeus Collective Ventures, Draper House Americas, NEXT Canada and Metta World Peace Starting tomorrow we will be meeting investors as part of the Forum Ventures showcase. If you are an investor interested in building with us get in touch. Calendly: https://lnkd.in/e5j-VvGC Investor Memo: https://lnkd.in/e5HyemAp

We are deeply impressed by their fundamentally different and innovative approach: building secure on-prem legal AI infrastructure at scale. Syntracts utilizes thousands of experts—small language models fine-tuned with synthetic data—to provide reliable, accurate, structured data for complex legal documents. This is the purpose-built, privacy-first data layer the legal industry desperately needs. We are excited to support Syntracts as they scale trust and performance in enterprise AI.

Plaid’s CEO Reflects on Risky Beginnings That Revolutionized Fintech Integration Zach Perret, CEO of $6.1 billion fintech giant Plaid, shares how the company’s early decision to pull financial data from 12,000 banks via screen scraping laid the groundwork for digital finance connectivity across apps like Venmo and Robinhood. Despite legal hurdles and resistance from banks, Plaid's commitment to improving access to financial data spurred long-term industry change. Today, the company primarily uses secure APIs, reflecting a more sustainable and collaborative ecosystem in financial technology. A recent funding round led by Franklin Templeton raised $575 million, cementing Plaid's role as a leading infrastructure provider in fintech. #FintechInnovation #PlaidSuccessStory #BankingTransformation https://lnkd.in/d3irhjGd

Two weeks ago on Swimming with Allocators, we sat down with David Clark, CIO at VenCap, to talk about what decades of venture data can teach allocators. One takeaway that stood out: discounts don’t matter as much as people think in venture secondaries. Because venture is such a power-law asset class, outcomes are driven by exposure to a few massive winners. Whether a stake is bought at a small discount, or even a premium, often matters far less than the quality of the underlying company and its upside. Great conversation on venture returns, manager selection, and the nuances of how allocators should think about secondary investments. 👇 Link in the comments.

Usul (YC S24) • 14K followers
We’re thrilled to share that Usul (YC S24) has raised $3.3M in Seed funding led by Scout Ventures with participation from BVVC, Teamworthy Ventures, True Ventures, Y Combinator and more. Usul is the modern platform for defense contract capture and federal growth. Our customers have won hundreds of millions in defense contracts for capabilities across Air, Land, Maritime, AI/ML and more. When Oliver Gomez, Joonghyun Lee and I joined forces during Stanford’s Hacking 4 Defense class, we interviewed 300+ defense companies to intimately understand how difficult it is for national security solutions to get deployed quickly at scale. In normal capital markets this is called dead weight loss. In warfighting, this costs lives. We're building an elite team of hackers and defense enthusiasts in San Francisco. If you’re interested in powering the next 1000 defense primes, email us at founders@usul.com or dm me. Read more about our journey in Erin O'Brien's Tectonic article below in the comments.

Plaid is built to make it easier for businesses to build and scale financial products that people trust. That trust starts with knowing who you’re working with. As Plaid helps platforms onboard and support millions of businesses, verifying business identity accurately and efficiently is foundational. That’s why Plaid partners with Middesk to automate business verification during onboarding — confirming core business details, reducing manual review, and helping teams make confident risk decisions without slowing down the customer experience. Together, we help Plaid deliver faster onboarding, stronger compliance, and a more durable foundation for growth across the financial ecosystem they power. We’re proud to support Plaid as they help teams move fast while maintaining trust at scale. #KYB #KYC #AML #BEV #businessverification #financialservices #onboarding #compliance #smallbusiness #SMBs

From the beginning, we believed Lumana was building much more than a smarter surveillance tool. Lumana's platform reflects the next evolution in video intelligence — physical AI. This approach enables systems to go beyond basic detection capabilities to understanding context, infer intent, and deliver real-time insights that improve safety and operations at scale. Further, we decided to take the longer and more difficult direction of building a whole new generation and fully featured Video Management System (VMS). With the company’s $40M Series A, led by our friend Peter Wagner from Wing Venture Capital and our seed partners from SCAPITALVC, we’re doubling down on a platform that’s already proving its value in the real world. We are serving now close to ten thousands enterprise cameras in production! Founders like Sagi Ben Moshe bring a rare mix of vision and execution to the table. From our earliest conversations as an EIR at Norwest, it was clear that Lumana had the potential to reshape how organizations use video. Congratulations to the team on this well-deserved milestone. https://lnkd.in/gwHdaGPZ

🚀 Meet PACT, simplifying SBA-backed acquisitions with investors. Think YC’s SAFE, but built for Main Street M&A. 📘 What is PACT and why we built it PACT (Partnership Acquisition Commonsense Terms) is a free, balanced starting point for the agreements used in SBA-backed acquisitions with outside investors. For too long, SBA-backed acquisitions with outside investors have been the wild west: every deal is different, inefficient, and confusing, especially for first-time searchers raising capital. PACT gives everyone a common baseline so reviews are faster, expectations are clear, and operators can focus on acquiring the business. 🧩 SAFE for ETA Y Combinator’s SAFE gave startups a shared template that made early investing easier to execute. PACT brings that same idea to ETA. It teaches the key concepts in plain English, aligns searchers and investors on the economics, and sets a fair place to start. Our goal is for PACT to become the default baseline for investor-backed small business acquisitions using SBA loans. 🤝 Who contributed 🏛️ Legal input from top SMB M&A attorneys: Joseph Spina (Cullen and Dykman LLP), Mark Dittrich (Groundswell Advisors, LLP), and Eric Hsu (Clear Focus Law, PLLC) provided feedback on drafts. 💼 Early investor adopters: Jordan F. (Shareholder Ventures), Grant Hensel (Entrepreneurial Capital), Jason Ehrlich (Fruition Capital), Sean Smith (Search Fund Ventures), Adam Kaplan (ETA Funding Partners), Jacob Hall (Kando Capital), Tony Cappaert (Workbench Capital) and Adam Markley (PROX Search Capital) have adopted PACT on new deals. 🎓 Community support: Chelsea Wood and Walker Deibel at the Acquisition Lab and Buy Then Build have committed to start educating the community on how investor deals work using PACT. 👉 What to do next 🔍 Searchers: download the docs and ask your lawyer to start from PACT. ⚖️ SMB M&A Law firms: review the templates and send feedback so the next version is better. 💸 SMB investors: adopt PACT as your starting point and share redlines from real deals. This is a community-led standard, and we will keep versioning PACT as feedback comes in from all sides. 📝 Thanks: Special thanks to Joseph Spina for leading the legal drafting with me and helping shape a true middle ground. 🔗 Download PACT and see the key terms: ETAPACT.com (link in the comments) Let’s make investor-backed acquisitions clearer, faster, and fairer for everyone. 🚨 DISCLAIMER: PACT is not legal advice. Searchers must engage experienced SMB M&A counsel to review and tailor these documents to their deal.
