FirstMark

We are thrilled to announce that Ezra has been acquired by Function Health, the leader in comprehensive wellness testing! Ezra sits at the intersection of three of FirstMark’s deepest areas of expertise: consumer, healthcare, and AI. We first backed founder Emi Gal back in 2020, and it has been a truly incredible journey together, navigating the ups and downs of company-building, while staying laser-focused throughout on the mission of detecting cancer early, when it is most treatable. This acquisition is only the beginning of the journey. We are taking no cash off the table. Instead, we are maintaining our holding in the combined company, and doubling down with an additional investment in Function Health. We are proud to be investors in Function Health, one of the premier companies in next-generation healthcare, and excited about the future! https://lnkd.in/e7_5wxb6

Big day at H Company! We’re thrilled to announce 3 major steps forward in bringing our vision of Agentic AI to life: 1️⃣ Runner H : Public Beta is now live! Imagine having your AI agent execute entire workflows across web apps, documents, spreadsheets, and more with a single prompt. Runner H’s orchestration engine dynamically delegates to specialized sub-agents (our browsing agent Surfer H, connections and apps) so it can: 👉 Pull live data into a spreadsheet and send it to your team on Slack. 👉 Find job opportunities and apply for you. 👉 Add a lead to your CRM and send a follow-up email based on lead data. … and much more, all while you sip your coffee ☕️ 🔗 Try Runner H (Open Beta) for free today: https://www.hcompany.ai/ 2️⃣ Holo-1: We are Open-Sourcing our Visual-Language Model powering Surfer H We’ve beefed up Surfer H’s web automation with Holo-1, our 3B & 7B-parameters Action Models. It now achieves industry-leading UI localization and navigation accuracy while staying compact and cost-efficient. We’re releasing Holo-1 plus the 1,639-scenario WebClick dataset on Hugging Face to spark the next wave of visual-AI innovation. Explore Holo-1 & WebClick now on : 🔗 Hugging Face : https://lnkd.in/e4i35f_A 🔗 Amazon Marketplace: https://lnkd.in/dRWsGfdd 3️⃣ Tester H: our AI-powered software testing tool is now in Private Beta for Enterprises ! As AI begins to generate the majority of the code faster, cheaper, and at greater scale, software teams face a new bottleneck: testing at the same speed. That’s where Tester H comes in. It turns plain English (user stories, acceptance criteria, or feature specs) into fully executable, visual end-to-end tests. Early adopters are already slashing test cycle times while boosting confidence in every release. 🔗 Request Enterprises Beta access: https://lnkd.in/d3-mz3UK With these releases, H Company is entering a new phase, one where we will continuously roll out more agents, more capabilities, and more workflows, for our users but also for enterprise partners. Our goal is simple: to let AI handle the tedious tasks, so you can focus on what truly matters: delivering impact. P.S. We’re hiring!

Just launched episode 2 of my new podcast/show - The Longest View! I had an awesome conversation with Eric Shapiro & David Fine the Co-Founders of Understory. We had a fantastic discussion around the future of AI for investment professionals and went through a range of topics related to their founding story. A few things we touched on: 1/ Eric and David's respective experiences at Elliott Investment Management L.P. and Dynamic Yield by Mastercard and how that influenced their desires to start a company 2/ The challenges investment firms face with respect to making use of the unstructured data that exists within their four walls 3/ Their philosophy on building a product in "single player" mode to help accelerate sales cycles and GTM in a category that can be notoriously difficult to sell into 4/ Lessons learned on solving institutional needs for investment firms, especially in the context of using AI as a lever for internal productivity 5/ The idea of encoding the "DNA" of an investment firm into software, and how platforms like Understory help facilitate that process and bring more objectivity to a subjective discipline 6/ The advice they would give to themselves if they were just starting up again This is a fantastic, tactical conversation on what it means to be building today at the intersection of AI & Capital Markets. Huge thanks to Eric & David for joining, I'm excited to see what's next for the business. Link to the full video is in the comments
