🚨NEW EPISODE: Recorded live at FUTURE TITANS 2026 - Jeff Perry of Carta sat down with the iconic Seth Levine, co-founder of Foundry. Seth has been in venture for 25 years, built Foundry from scratch as an emerging manager himself, and has backed about 50 emerging manager funds through his fund of funds. He has genuinely seen every side of this table. They went deep on building Foundry, why VCs are in the influence business, not the decision business, and why the concentration problem in venture is not only bad for LPs, but also for the innovation ecosystem overall. And why Seth's new book, Capital Evolution, is so important for the future of America. 🎧 Links to listen... Apple: https://lnkd.in/ehQUQ2EM Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eU4FExpg

We are announcing Potpie AI's $2.2M pre-seed fundraise to advance Spec-Driven Development for large enterprise codebases. The round is led by Emergent Ventures, with participation from All In Capital, DeVC, and PointOne Capital, along with the support of some amazing angel investors from companies including Atlassian, OpenAI, Meta, Razorpay and Flobiz. As AI accelerates code generation, the constraint inside large enterprises has shifted from coding to maintenance and assurance. The limiting factor is no longer writing code, but understanding complex systems, aligning teams around intent, and safely evolving large, interdependent codebases. In most organizations, specifications exist as static documents, while production systems evolve independently. Context is fragmented across repositories, tickets, logs, reviews, and floating documents making reliable AI adoption difficult. We are building the foundational layer that makes Spec-Driven Development executable at scale. By unifying engineering context and operationalizing the spec as a structured source of truth, we enable AI systems to reason with architectural awareness rather than surface-level code completion. We are already working with large enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 organizations. This milestone allows us to deepen those partnerships and support more teams transitioning from experimental AI usage to structured, production-grade AI-first engineering workflows. If you are leading engineering at scale and evaluating how AI should integrate into mission-critical systems, we would love to chat with you!
