We have some big news! Today we're announcing our new direction: Sealed Pro is a software platform empowering contractors to sell more energy-saving projects, allowing us to have a bigger impact on decarbonizing homes.

Earlier this month I spoke with Todd Woody at Bloomberg to discuss our pivot, and how Sealed is accelerating our mission to stop energy waste at home.  As you will see in the article, we’ve now put contractors at the forefront of our business. https://lnkd.in/eBPSdcx8

Nico Arguelles [one of our first customers] says that Sealed invested considerable time in learning how contractors do business. “I would say not only that Sealed Pro has allowed us to increase our customer base, but it's also allowed us as a business to scale quicker because we're able to incentivize people to purchase the higher priced equipment,” he says. Prior to Sealed Pro, one of Pacific Aire’s employees’ sole job was to handle rebate paperwork.

If you want to read more about our pivot to Sealed Pro, check out our essay, “Same Mission, New Approach to Home Decarbonization” that we published here: https://lnkd.in/e4Q3p7zP 

We are thrilled to announce that ValidMind has raised $8.1 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round, led by Point72 Ventures, with participation from Third Prime, New York Life Ventures, AI Fund, Notion Capital, FJ Labs, Angel Invest, and Gaingels. Details: https://lnkd.in/g-HbrTS9

With their support, we advance our go-to-market plans and establish ourselves as a long-term partner to our customers in financial services. We’re here to modernize model risk management. 

Our investors agree that the ValidMind #AiRiskManagement platform is the most efficient solution for organizations to automate testing, documentation, and model risk governance for AI and statistical models.

We are very excited to welcome Brett Adcock back to the Gaingels family with his new company Figure AI joining the portfolio! We are grateful to be investing in Brett's new company after supporting Archer, which focused on building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

I look forward to seeing the incredible advancements in the humanoid space with Figure's new funding round :)
