This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Grand Central Tech (GCT), our Founder in Residence program for zero to one founders in New York City. The Fall 2024 Cohort joins impressive company; since 2014 there have been: 🏢 179 Alumni residency companies 👨🔧 👩🔧 362 Early stage founders supported 🚀 $4bn+ VC raised by participating founders We've also completely overhauled our HQ at 22 Vanderbilt (come visit if you haven't yet) and have amassed $140M in AUM across our funds. We took this milestone as an opportunity to reflect on our mission and brand with our re-launched website: www.companyventures.com . (Long time followers may notice we locked down the .com and have moved on from .co!) As a firm, we specialize in providing our founders Exceptional Venture Community. We have witnessed time and again how catalytic being a part of such a community can be to a company's success, and have distilled the recipe down to three key elements: 📈 Capital: We are first check investors who leverage an extraordinary residency model to identify and back exceptional founders from day one. ✨ Community: We set up founders to go further faster by being in the company of other uniquely qualified entrepreneurs. Other firms may host founder summits annually; we host them daily. 🌇 Place: We provide members of our community a remarkable day-to-day environment to recruit talent, host marquee events, close customers, and secure investment. The future looks bright for Company Ventures and we are just getting started. Come build with us. And with that, we are thrilled to announce the Fall 2024 Grand Central Tech Cohort, and provide a refresher on the current Spring 2024 cohort - see the full list here [ https://bit.ly/4eb4kWr ]. Please join us in welcoming these teams to our community!

For several years now, our firm has had the honor of collaborating with NYCEDC to operate Boost - a fellowship program for first time entrepreneurs. For the less initiated, the world of venture is a bit of a black box with specific jargon, unusual industry mechanics, and tight investor networks. We run our Boost program to demystify things a bit, and equip folks from less experienced backgrounds with a means of coming up the curve. If this sounds appealing to you or folks in your network, please consider applying: https://bit.ly/48HlFFl

Recently, we were fortunate to host Mike Maples, Jr in conversation with Company Ventures CEO Matthew Harrigan on Mike’s book: Pattern Breakers. A few insights we took away: ✨ There are three elements to most breakthrough startup ideas: inflection (an event that creates the potential for radical change in how people think, feel and act), an insight (a truth about how one or more inflections can be harnessed to radically change human capacities and behaviors), and founder-future fit (the ability to live in a valid future and build what’s missing for that future). 💭 If you're spending time in the valid future, you're tinkering with inflections, and you see firsthand the opportunity to break the current patterns of how people think, feel, and act. 💡 For a startup that is going to break free, it's not just about the product but also the point of view – early believers often buy from them because they believe what the startup believes, moreso than because it solves their immediate problem. A big thank you to Mike and his team for all the knowledge shared with the founders in our residency program, on how to build a company for the future.

A huge congrats to Ali Hussain and the Tabs team on their $25M Series A led by General Catalyst. Tabs has built an AI driven revenue management system for businesses to streamline structuring and organizing all of their commercial records (from customer contracts to even usage) and then automate related workflows (e.g. billing, revenue recognition, reporting and payments). This enables companies to reduce tedious manual labor, and focus on strategic decision-making and customer solutions. Since coming out of stealth ~6 months ago, the market demand for the product has been incredible. Learn more about the recent raise: https://bit.ly/4f9D9MJ

Announcing our $25M Series A led by General Catalyst 🎉 We started Tabs less than 24 months ago Our mission is to build the world’s most powerful Revenue Automation Platform for Finance Why?

A couple of months ago I was privileged to give a TedX talk reflecting on the meaningfulness of working in healthcare and sharing some pragmatic ideas on how AI might let us simplify and improve our healthcare systems. Thank you to TEDxNashville for the opportunity to speak, the leaders and teams at HCA Healthcare for bringing me initially into healthcare and showing me the way, our incredible team at UnityAI that is creating a brand new and exciting future, and all the many other good people engaged in this work every day. I gave a lot of myself in this talk; it was personal and unusually difficult, and so I hope it is inspiring.

Congratulations to David Mace, Tiger S. , Georgios Kontominas and the team at Pantheon AI for exiting stealth and announcing their $25M funding round to drive US expansion. Pantheon is building an AI copilot for architects that, in the long term, will automate a significant portion of the end-to-end pre-construction and design processes, delivering streamlined architecture services for commercial, multifamily and hospitality buildings. We believe that Pantheon’s novel approach - using LLMs to understand 3D space and separating blueprint generation across building systems - has potential to completely change how buildings are designed and built. We are thrilled to be part of Pantheon’s journey. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3YADGRZ
