I'm proud to announce that we just closed Inspired Capital Fund IV at $450M. At @InspiredCap, we get in the boat and go to war with our founders until they win, pulling out all the stops to help them achieve their life's work. This new capital affords us the opportunity to invest more of our time partnering with the world's most ambitious early-stage founders.

Seven plus years into Inspired, the results are starting to compound: our company partnerships now include 10 unicorns and 10 companies that have scaled past $100 million in annual revenue. We know many more will join those ranks in the coming years and we are excited to welcome more amazing founders to Inspired with this new fund.

To every founder I have the privilege to work with, thank you for trusting us to be partners to your company, through both the good days and the tough ones. You're the reason I am addicted to this work.

And we're just getting started.

Today, our team is excited to announce @InspiredCap Fund IV, $450M in new capital to back early-stage founders.

There has never been a moment in history when more is possible. It takes just one person with exceptional ambition to take on the world’s problems and change billions of lives for the better.

@trywindmill is shipping like crazy. Their new agentic onboarding is already loved by many customers and is now out in the wild to become the go to solution for the best scaling companies to onboard new employees.

Just another step for @_maxdshaw, @bdistel, and @TarkManner as they build a generational company at Windmill.

Growing companies think their biggest problem is hiring, but they are wrong. It’s only half the story.

In reality even the best candidates will fail if they are not set up for success from the start.

I experienced this at @yext across a team of 2,500, and today, with the pull of our growing customer base, Windmill is launching the system I always wanted

An agentic onboarding system to give every new hire the best chance of being successful as quickly as possible.

@trywindmill now has over 250 customers and many of them growing faster than any companies before in human history. Our customers feel this pain viscerally. You spend millions on recruiting and closing candidates only for them to show up to an onboarding based off a couple slides and a Notion doc.

Onboarding is one of the most important things a company does. It’s a new hire’s introduction to the company culture and how it runs. And in today’s rapidly changing world, it’s harder than it’s ever been before.

Effective onboarding isn't about teaching people everything. It's about getting them to real contribution as fast as possible, with clear goals, regular feedback, and a manager who stays in the loop.

Windmill puts an AI agent in charge of making that happen for every new hire, and holds everyone accountable along the way.

We’re currently live with amazing customers like @Etched (among others) and it’s incredible to see the results. Every one of our customers I’ve shared this with has raised their hands and we’re including it as part of their subscription.

If this is something your team struggles with, we’d love to show you the system that’s helped customers around the globe onboard and ramp their teams 3x faster.

Today @standinsurance announced $70M at a $1B valuation, led by @Saga_Ventures. A year ago, we insured $1B of property. Today it's $10B. Disasters follow the laws of physics. Insurance should too. Here's what our team is building:
