🚀 Constructor just raised $25M Series B—without actively fundraising! CEO Eli Finkelshteyn of Constructor, the AI e-commerce startup, wasn’t on the hunt for more funding. Yet, a casual conversation with Sapphire Ventures partner Rajeev Dham turned into a $25 million Series B investment, pushing the company's valuation to $550 million. What sparked interest? Finkelshteyn shared Constructor’s customer-facing sales deck—a testament to the platform's proven success in personalized product discovery for major e-commerce players like Sephora and Bonobos. "We’ve always kept AI at the core of our technology," Finkelstein says. "It’s been essential to our growth and success, but there’s still so much potential to expand and serve our customers even better.” 💡 Read more about how this AI-driven e-commerce pioneer secured a major investment without a formal pitch deck and check out the deck that sealed the deal. #AI #Ecommerce #Constructor #Startup

AI agent startup /dev/agents announced a massive $56M seed round, putting the company’s valuation at a whopping $500 million. The amount is impressive given the company won’t have a first version of its product available until at least early next year. The reason behind investors’ trust, however, becomes a bit clearer when you consider the founders’ pedigree: /dev/agents’ co-founders were both on Google’s Android team during the early days of the smartphone era. #successstory #aistartups #ai #artificialintelligence #AIagents #agenticAI #generativeAI #genAI #seedfunding #funding #fundraising #vc #investors #venture #investorrelations #seed #seedround #preproduct #premvp #preproductcompany #investorstrust #startupecosystem #startupstories #techentrepreneurs #business #businessgrowth #aiecosystem #growthstrategy #scalingbusiness #scalingup #venturecapital #capitalraising #fundraisingchallenge #investment #aibusiness #venturefunding #startupworld #technews #siliconvalley #venturenews #ainews #aitech #fundingnews #vcnews #fundraisingstrategy

According to Stripe data, the top AI startups in 2024 (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Midjourney) are making money faster than equivalent SaaS companies in 2018. Al startups that hit at least $2.5M/mo rev achieved the milestone in 20 months — 5x faster than past SaaS startups. Do we think that’s because VC money is more concentrated? TikTok? Actual higher interest? OAI skewing everything?
