Voice experiences that *actually work* are a happy consequence of modern AI models, and the team behind @MeetArc is bringing them to a drive-thru near you!
Today @MeetArc announces our $10.76M Seed led by @a16z, with participation from @Adverbvc , Broadway Restaurant Group, and @unitedtalent. 200K US drive-thrus run on 1950s tech. Arc lets operators run them like modern digital channels: design the experience, A/B test upsell, see live AI insights. Higher tickets. Better accuracy. Happier crews. This is just the beginning, as we work to empower all kinds of local businesses with AI. Grateful to be backed by investors who deeply understand local commerce, AI, and the restaurant industry. Thanks also to an amazing group of angels including @thefriley, @saumil, @henrydelouv, @Mikegagent, and @jschwarz9.

Just under a month until Humans in the Loop! Watching the highlights from last year, I'm reminded of the incredible energy that was in the room. Based on the companies we have lined up, this year will be no different. Space is filling up fast! humansintheloop2026.com/

We at @Adverbvc are shouting from the rooftops about @getcasa -- we're grateful and delighted customers, proud investors, and can't wait to see Casa bring the joy back into home ownership.
After two years of building under wraps, today we're announcing Casa – your personal property manager. We've raised $27M to redefine the homeownership experience from the ground up. We believe your home is your most treasured asset, emotionally & financially. It shouldn't also be a second job. Most homeowners are on their own – expected to have the time, expertise, and relationships to keep things running. Finding a plumber you can trust. Remembering when the HVAC was last serviced. Knowing what's actually wrong before someone shows up to fix it. Casa gives every homeowner what used to be reserved for the few: a dedicated team that knows your home deeply, handles the work, and stays in your corner. We're enabling this by building a deep, technical understanding of every home we serve – something that's never existed before, across 100 million single-family homes in the country. For $199/mo, membership includes: - A complete inventory of your home, built using specialized hardware & software - 1.5 hours of handyman time every month (and it rolls over) - Unlimited Concierge requests to take on virtually any home project - Custom, proactive care plans built specifically for your home - Weekly package and donation pickups - Scheduling and payments for your regular vendors - Utility and property tax monitoring …and we’re just getting started, with more benefits on the way to make the experience of owning your home as magical as it always should have been. Available now in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles. Reserve your spot everywhere else. → getcasa.com

Happy birthday to me, thanks for the new ‘fit 🎂
To celebrate our 2-year anniversary, we’re re-launching Adverb Ventures' site with a fresh coat of paint! ✨Give it a look! 💚 adverb.vc/ “Build an extraordinary company, in good company.” This phrase, “in good company” has felt like a fitting rallying cry for us at Adverb. Even though it was just @aunder and I sitting together at my kitchen table two years ago, building Adverb has always been a team sport — from the LPs who chose to partner with us, the fellow fund managers who generously shared their hard-won wisdom, to the founders who trust us on their cap table. Now, we’re a small but mighty crew of four with the amazing, dynamic, and talented @LizaGurtin and @Gary_Pesola joining us. And we’ve backed 22 incredibly inspiring startups and welcomed 43 founders to our community. I’m proud of what we’ve done and even more fired up about where we’re going. 🚀

Congratulations to @TryCoveAI on their public launch today. Trying Cove for the first time is a huge step forward in the utility of LLMs for day-to-day use cases.
🚀 Today, we're thrilled to introduce Cove, a groundbreaking interface for thinking brilliantly with AI, and announce our seed round led by @sequoia Cove is not a chatbot. It’s AI unconstrained by a chat thread or document editor. See it in action:
