Pano AI’s early-detection technology aided in spotting and dispatching firefighters to a wildfire in Colorado. “When we can get a location, an actual lat/long and drive straight through it instead of going through the process of finding, which often time with wildfires can take an hour, just trying to figure out a location and access and figure out all the stuff and then get the troops there...it means a lot," Mathew Benedict, with Red, White & Blue Fire's Wildland Division, told CBS News. https://lnkd.in/eg5arbbg

January Ventures has a new look! We’ve refreshed our brand and website to reflect the energy behind our mission and values. We invest in the outliers, underdogs and disruptors from day one: backing moonshot founders who are transforming traditional industries and processes. Today’s biggest opportunities aren’t for the faint of heart - they require incredible determination and unique perspectives. We believe that investing in founders based on their ambition, talent, and grit, not their pedigrees and networks, will drive outsized returns. To date, we’ve invested in 60 portfolio companies and 95% of our portfolio companies have a founder who identifies as diverse based on gender, racial or ethnic identity, or immigrant status. Here are a few other stats we’re proud of: 🎯 4 total exits 🎯 70% graduation rate 🎯 80% of our portfolio companies have a female founder 🎯 31% have a Back or Latino/a founder 🎯 38% have an immigrant founder Thank you for following January Ventures! We’re excited for what is to come! 🔗 Check out our new website and the latest issue of our newsletter, linked in the comments.

Ariglad YC W23, which auto-maintains knowledge bases with AI, founded by Sophie Wyne and Ali A., was recently hit #1 on ProductHunt! The recent Y Combinator grads shared their story of a successful pivot below:
Wow. We're #1 on Product Hunt right now. I remember being so excited to meet Founder Ryan Hoover years ago, and at that time, I never could have imagined we would achieve this 🔥 It's been a year since Ali and I graduated Y Combinator but our journey was unique in that we had to pivot quickly after. The fact that we finished YC about a year ago and now have a completely different product - achieving #1 on such an important platform feels like a full-circle moment. The day isn't over! Check out what we pivoted to here: https://lnkd.in/dR-4NTpk #producthunt #founderjourney #customersuccess #AI #AItech
