Fun to see Roadrunner featured in @Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups. We’ve made a lot of progress in less than a year - feels like we’re just beginning to hit our stride :)

Thank you @agarfinks for the story!!
Roadrunner, a startup building AI-native, natural-language software, has the distinction of being Kleiner Perkins’s first incubation since Glean. bit.ly/4ugOcLJView quoted post on X
Excited to share @RoadrunnerAI has raised $27M in funding across a $5.2M seed led by @mamoonha at @kleinerperkins and a $22M Series A led by @traestephens at @foundersfund.
We started the company in August - and the business has basically been happening to us since we incorporated.
Building AI agents for the enterprise to run one of their most important production systems is not for the faint of heart. But the pain around CPQ is very real, and we’ve been overwhelmed by demand from companies looking for a better way forward.
Our ability to serve more customers in pursuit of building a generational company is almost entirely bottlenecked by our ability to hire the top 1% of talent. If you're interested in joining us, reach out!

Excited to finally share more about KP’s first incubation since Glean: @RoadrunnerAI.
Building this company with Ajay Natarajan, Eugene Shao, and our incredible team has brought me the most energy I’ve ever felt in my career. Grateful to @kleinerperkins and @mamoonha for backing this - and for letting us build upstairs in the SF office for the past several months 😬.
Huge thank you to our design partners who took an early bet on us to codevelop a solution that finally fixes CPQ.
We marked the moment by flipping the script on the @KPGrit podcast. Mamoon interviewed me about my story and how many unlikely turns ended up pointing toward Roadrunner.
If you’re interested, reach out. I’ve never seen this level of pent-up customer demand, and I’ve never seen an engineering team ship with this level of velocity and craft.
