We’ve loved seeing all the interest in Asset Hub lately. If you’re curious, we’d love to talk!
Demand for workplace data has been a boon for SimpleClosure, whose CEO Dori Yona said that the level of inbound interest in it from AI companies has been “insane”.
“There’s a feeling of a gold rush from these companies trying to get their hands on real-world data,” he said.

Another great Law in the Age of AI panel, this time at LA @Techweek_!
Building on last week’s SF panel, we continued the conversation on how AI is reshaping the legal industry, what it means for founders, and where human judgment still matters.
Thanks to @Carta for joining us to bring this discussion to #LAtechweek. 🤝
Second-time founders know a thing or two about building a company.
We're putting them in the spotlight at Second-Time Founder Demo Day, where serial entrepreneurs are taking the stage to pitch their next ventures to a room full of investors.
Happening now at #LATechWeek by @Techweek_!
Brought to you by SimpleClosure, @NerdstageHQ, @VC_Match, @cartainc, @CooleyLLP, @beige_media, and @getBevi.

I had tears watching this.
For any founder out there, this is a must watch.
I’ve been there myself, and this captures exactly why we do what we do at @Simple_Closure.
Close clean. Begin again.
Big news: SimpleClosure is partnering with @Intuit.
QuickBooks Workforce customers will now have access to SimpleClosure when they stop payroll, making it easier to properly close their state payroll tax accounts and, when needed, their business entirely.
We’ve already helped thousands of businesses close roughly 14,000 payroll tax accounts. Now, alongside Intuit, we’ll be able to bring that experience to even more business owners.
We’re incredibly excited for this next chapter and proud to be an Intuit partner.
One week to go!
When the original plan isn’t working, knowing what to do next isn’t always obvious.
Do you keep pushing? Pivot? Explore an acquisition? Or is it time to start thinking about winding down?
Next Wednesday, we’re bringing together John Paasonen from Maxwell, Adam Roberts from Lifted vc, and Olivia O'Sullivan from Forum Ventures to talk through how founders can make that call, including the signals worth paying attention to and the questions to ask before choosing a path.
And we’re not keeping it hypothetical. We’ll wrap with real, anonymized startup scenarios and ask our panelists to weigh in.
Join SimpleClosure + Founders House for "Nobody told me… how to pivot."
📅 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT

We’ve got two big days planned in LA for @Techweek_ !
On October 14 and 15, we’ll be bringing together founders, operators, investors, and partners for two events:
🎤 October 14 | Demo Day: Second-Time Founder Edition
We’re joining @NerdstageHQ for a Demo Day spotlighting founders building their second companies. Founders will pitch what they’re building, take questions from investors, and sit down for a conversation about what they learned the first time around and what they’re doing differently this time.
⚖️ October 15 | Law in the Age of AI
We’re teaming up with @cartainc for a conversation on how AI is changing the legal landscape and what that means for companies today.
Individual RSVP links in the comments.
Hope to see you in LA!

There are a lot of parts of being a founder that nobody gives you a playbook for.
So we’re teaming up with Founders House on a new series to have the conversations founders don’t always get to have.
We’re kicking things off on September 23 with "Nobody told me… how to pivot", a conversation about what to do when the original plan isn’t working.
Do you keep pushing? Pivot? Explore an acquisition? Or start thinking about winding down?
We’ll be joined by John Paasonen from Maxwell, Adam Roberts from Lifted. vc, and Olivia O'Sullivan from Forum Ventures to talk through the signals founders should actually be paying attention to when deciding what comes next.
SimpleClosure’s Carina Oriel will moderate the conversation, and we’ll put our panelists to the test with some real, anonymized startup scenarios at the end 👀
Mark your calendars: Wednesday, September 23 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT.
RSVP at the link in the comments below.

BREAKING NEWS: SF and LA Tech Week calendars are LIVE!
You can now register for events: tech-week.com/calendar
2,300+ event submissions across San Francisco and Los Angeles
📍SF: October 5-11
📍LA: October 12-18
People always ask about the data, so a few stats:
-SF once again takes the crown for “biggest tech week ever” with 1,500+ events
-1 in 7 SF events is about agentic AI: 213 events in SF and 53 in LA are explicitly about agents (in the title or description). In 2024 there were only about a dozen!
-There are 124 hackathons across the two weeks, and the variety is huge: everything from hardware to defense, media/creative, fintech, civic/social good, etc. Everyone is a builder now.
- LA, the OG Tech Week (now in its fifth year!), has seriously doubled down on deep tech with 100+ events and lots of El Segundo activity.
Last year, Tech Week saw attendees from over 100 countries. It’s going to be a party.
See you there! 🥳
Your company's assets may be worth more than you think.
Since launching AssetHub in April, 350+ companies have offered assets through our marketplace. Company assets can represent tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in value, and potentially millions at enterprise scale.
We dug into the data to understand what buyers are actually looking for. A few findings:
→ More code doesn’t always mean more value. Roughly 37% of raw code disappeared after removing third-party/generated code and internal duplication.
→ Context can increase value. Buyers increasingly want the Slack conversations, GitHub activity, documentation and other work that shows how a product actually came together.
→ Scarcity can work in your favor. We’re seeing demand for harder-to-find data in industries like manufacturing, energy, banking and insurance, professional services and logistics.
You don’t have to be an AI company to have data that’s valuable to AI.
