Excited to announce our new fund today! We are proud to continue the work of backing founders who show us what the future can be. ✨

I've lost track of the number of times people have called @whop "niche" or questioned its TAM. In fact, @whop is serving a global community of young people who are looking for alternative ways to support themselves outside of the 9-5 paradigm. This population is rapidly growing

When we started researching @Rillet, we reached out across the Bain Capital portfolio to make CFO intros. Turns out, many didn’t need one. They were already customers.

That kind of pull is notable in ERP, a category built around systems that are notoriously hard to rip out. Rillet is building accounting superintelligence: a real-time ledger with deep context and agents that tackle increasingly complex financial work.

We’re excited to participate in Rillet’s $100M Series C as @nicckopp and team take on some of the most entrenched players in enterprise software!

We are excited to partner with @Etched as they bring cutting edge frontier inference clusters to market. Congrats @robertwachen @UbertiGavin @czhu1729! Cc @EnriqueSalem @Abby__Meyers Alex Roose @BainCapVC

Software automated bits. ATOMS will automate atoms.

We are thrilled to back @travisk and his team as they launch a new platform for physical AI. ATOMS is fundamentally rethinking the tech stack to drive industrial progress across autonomous transport and autonomous robotics.

Very few founders can conceive of a vision this audacious, let alone execute it. @travisk is one of them.
