anyhow, i've now spent more time doing Homebrew than i did YouTube/Google/Linden Lab. But the Org Chart experience is what enabled the Cap Table success, and I value it so so much.

when Satya Patel and I met the Datacurve team it was 🤩

excited to be supporting investors here. Love working with Serena Ge and Charley Lee, and thanks to Mark Goldberg for the intro.

Co-Founder, CEO of Datacurve (datacurve.ai) | Forbes 30u30

Today we’re announcing we’ve raised $17.7 million in funding across a $15M Series A led by Chemistry and a $2.7M Seed to accelerate foundation model progress through providing frontier training data for LLMs. 

When we first started Datacurve, it came from a simple realization: foundation model progress is limited not just by compute, but by data quality and complexity. 

The right data unlocks new capabilities, especially in coding, where accuracy and reasoning matter most.

We’re now proud to partner with the world’s leading foundation-model labs, providing them with high-quality, complex training data that helps push the boundaries of what AI can do. 

This is still just the start. Come build the future of technology with us in San Francisco

Huge thanks to our incredible team and investors who’ve believed in us since day one and beyond: Garry Tan at Y Combinator, Ivan Zhang from Cohere, Mark Goldberg from Chemistry, Derrick Li from Afore Capital, Umesh Khanna, Soheil Koushan, and Shyamal Hitesh Anadkat.

Exactly why AI Code Review is the unlock. And Graphite is the leader here....
