Our founder and managing partner, @alexavontobel, sat down with @WallStManeet at the @Forbes Future of Work Summit to talk investing in the future of work and building a human economy in the age of AI.
It’s something we’ve thought about for a long time at @InspiredCap, and it’s a big reason we invested in @trywindmill, an AI company that bets on humans. They’re rethinking performance reviews so companies can see and grow talent they already have!
Thank you @Forbes and @WallStManeet for having us, and was so fun meeting @RealColinRocker backstage!

pretty proud of how we built "Text Insights" on pulse surveys.
analyzing open ended text response questions is tricky. most platforms shove all the responses into an LLM and get a summary. in practice this isn't that useful and you can't slice and dice data easily.
instead we built a custom pipeline using jev (@typesafeai) that buckets and classifies every response. this allows you to filter and group responses in real time and you can easily go deeper with Windy whenever you want.

the biggest upgrade to windmill pulse since we launched: full engagement surveys.
structured questions, four ways to take the same survey, and new insights (powered by jev @typesafeai).
automate your weekly check-in all the way to a full annual engagement survey and everything in between.

The Knicks Made a $2 Billion Founder Wrap Tefillin for the First Time in over a Decade
I DM’d @yext Founder @bdistel asking to wrap Tefflin with him
He responded “If the Knicks win a chip, happy to do a celebratory wrap!”
So after the Knicks won the championship this week I reached out again and told him Bill is now due.
He said let’s do it and today I came by the office wrapped with him for the first time in over 15 years and thanked hashem for the Knicks win
And end up wrapping another 4 of his employees @trywindmill

@LorimerVentures 4th annual hashtag #NYTechWeek event might've been our best one yet! Our community of 200+ founders, builders, investors, and friends came together for a night of live demos, drinks and great conversation in a beautiful gothic refectory in Chelsea.
Special shoutout to our portfolio companies🐎@zocomputer and🧠@GammaApp as well as our friends from🍃 @trywindmill for the amazing live demos.
Huge thanks to @VanderbiltU for opening up their stunning refectory on their brand-new NYC campus, and to @_nicolealonso for capturing the whole evening so beautifully.
If you're raising a pre-seed or seed round, we'd love to chat.

What if every employee at your company had a world-class coach in their corner?
In a world of AI, human employees become more important than ever. On this episode of Inspired, @alexavontobel sits down with @_maxdshaw and @bdistel, two of the three co-founders of @trywindmill, the AI-powered people platform replacing the broken, once-a-year performance review with something employees actually love. Brian previously founded Yext, taking it public in 2017, and now the team is building what may be the most important missing system in every company. Inspired is proud to have led Windmill's recent seed round.
In this conversation, they talk about why performance management is so broken, how AI is going to make managers dramatically more effective as their teams grow, and why the companies that win the next decade will be the ones that invest in their people, not automate them out.

Such a treat to have @_maxdshaw and @bdistel on Inspired this week. While everyone debates how many jobs AI will replace, @trywindmill is focused on putting the best people in the right roles and helping them grow. At @InspiredCap, we are so proud to back Windmill!!

every headline right now is about AI replacing workers.
@bdistel thinks that's the wrong bet.
@yext co-founder. $1.3B IPO. 10,000+ people through companies he's built.
now he's building @trywindmill — the AI context graph for your people. shows you who's growing, who's stuck, and who makes everyone around them better.
100+ customers. $12M seed announced last week.
the day after he presented at our showcase.
this is shortlist nyc.

Here's how @trywindmill saves $10,000+ a month on LLM costs without sacrificing performance using Merge Gateway. ↓
