Huge new product from the team @reductoai
Models are becoming smarter, faster, and cheaper, but the OCR industry hasn’t kept up.
We’re launching r-1 mini: the first model to offer truly premium parsing without the premium pricing. At $1/1000 pages, r-1 mini beats options that cost up to 25x as much.View quoted post on X
Across the great companies we’ve partnered with, it’s clear how often the first business hire helped the company achieve its ambitions. It’s a linchpin role and one of the best opportunities in Silicon Valley. Be that person for @moinnadeem and @NikhilKMurthy.

The team @clay is executing. It’s a great time to join.
The @Clay sales team just had its biggest quarter ever.View quoted post on X
- We hit 157% of company target in Q3
- We broke our all-time largest deal record... then broke it again
- 5 sellers each closed >$1M in new ARR, and one crossed $2M (!!!)
- 80% of sellers finished over 100% of target.
- 36 new Claymates joined us in sales, and 9 people got promoted
....and we did all of this while navigating 13 new product releases over the summer and throwing Sculpt, our biggest user conference yet w/ 2,000+ people in SF. The team also hit 30+ events in 12 cities this quarter, including Dreamforce, HubSpot’s Unbound, and an NFL game in London.
This is broad-based attainment where everyone can win and many can win BIG. Come join us. We're building the future of AI GTM and the best sellers want a front row seat.

Most people say the best venture investment decisions are the most contrarian ones, where one investor pounds the table and no one else sees it. That wasn’t the case when we met the @fal team for their seed round. 100% of our team wanted to invest.
What the @fal team has done since then is astonishing. Can’t wait to see what they do with a lot more fuel in the tank.

Today, we’re announcing we raised our Series E & F rounds for a combined total of $1.65B. Our Series E was led by @sequoia and our Series F was led by @BessemerVP with continued investment from @nvidia.
We’re excited to push the boundaries of what’s possible even more next year and this funding will enable the team to build the way we want to.View quoted post on X
