Now that the world knows about the magic of @TownAI, we can share that we are just 6 days out from Humans in the Loop and @jgreze and @tonydevincenzi will be demo'ing on stage as @ForerunnerVC's nominated startup. Don't miss it! humansintheloop2026.com
The best investments are the ones where we're also power users. At Forerunner, we risk melting the @TownAI servers. We work in partnerships with our Townies all day, every day, and our Townies even work together, too. Town's $55M series A in Fortune! fortune.com/2026/06/03/tow…
Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you. We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction. Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents. We think that’s backwards. The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you. Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so. All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time. Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.
Lux is co-hosting Humans in the Loop on June 10 in SF. We've nominated a new seed investment (co-founded by phenomenal serial entrepreneur) focused on developing an entirely new UI for AI applications. He'll debut his product (and company) on stage at the event. Join us! humansintheloop2026.com @kirstenagreen @eurie_kim
Our Founding Partner @kirstenagreen is on the Midas List for her *10th* consecutive year. From Chime to Faire, Hims&Hers, Decagon, Wabi, and countless more, Kirsten's drive to partner with founders building a better future is unmatched. forbes.com/lists/midas/
Novig crossed 4 billion in cumulative volume...only 20 months in. Just getting warmed up. Well done @fawzitani, who led the A for Forerunner, and all of team @Novig ⚡️
Casa is basically an AI-powered concierge for homeowners They work with you so that Casa knows the history of your house, all the maintenance you've done on it, etc. And when you have a job for the house, Casa uses the data to get the work done from start to finish CEO @michaelyork explains: "In the Casa app, you can book a handyman visit and say, 'I want these three things done.'" "We'll look at those tasks, we'll look at the history of your home, and all the information we have about it, to do that thing really well for you." "You might say, 'I want to hang up a bunch of family artwork in the hallway.' We'll come back to you and say, 'Do you already have the frames? Do you want us to find them for you? If you do, we'll come back to you with a bunch of options based on your past preferences.'" "And we'll actually have those frames ready for you, or in the hands of the handyman, before they even show up."
one of the best events last year - excited to see what the latest standouts in consumer AI are!
