Congratulations 🎉 Nitin, Abhijeet, Saravana, and the Freehand team! Excited to double down in this round and collaborate with and welcome my friends Dharmesh, Sudhee (Battery Ventures), and NewRoad Capital Partners! As early investors, we’ve had a front-row seat to Freehand's development and rollout of AI Teams that run complex procurement, finance, and operations workflows for large enterprises such as Meta, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Unilever. Freehand represents a fundamental shift from software (that assists people) to autonomous teams (that own outcomes), and is poised to reshape hundreds of billions of dollars in software and labor spend in supply chain with AI. Onward! 🚀 Nexus Venture Partners
Congratulations to the Freehand team and Nexus! 🎉 Abhishek Sharma your point about AI shifting from 'assisting people' to 'owning outcomes' is exactly where the future lies—not just in enterprise supply chains, but in ground-level mobility operations too. Having spent 10 years driving a commercial cab on Indian highways, I realized operations are incredibly complex to manage manually. I used AI as my technical co-pilot to build a mobility SaaS (Driver Guard), and today, AI helps us manage the safety and operations for 4,000+ active commercial drivers. When AI takes ownership of the raw ground realities, you can scale with strictly zero-CAC. Great to see Nexus backing this fundamental shift in how businesses operate!
Congrats Nitin Jayakrishnan and team!
Congratulations !
Congrats Saravana Kumar
