Micah Gantman reposted thisMicah Gantman reposted thisThree takeaways from Wrexham AFC US Summer Tour vs Liverpool Football Club @ Yankee Stadium… 1. I’ve never seen a team sub 11 men on at once. That was unconventional and provacative. 2. Rio Ngumoha is the future of Liverpool. What a talent. 3. Trove ads throughout the stadium was surreal to see. So proud of what we’ve been building and the team doing it. Micah Gantman

Well played Brian Long!Micah Gantman shared thisBig News: Adaptive Security has partnered with Conan O’Brien to launch a new series of security awareness training content, focused on AI-powered threats. For years, security training meant click-through modules, stock photo executives, and outdated examples nobody actually read. We’re here to fix that. From Deepfake Attacks to Physical Security to Email Security and more, the Adaptive Security x Conan training library features 15 ready-to-deploy, interactive, video training modules that Adaptive’s thousands of customers can send their employees starting today. https://lnkd.in/gSSAAUpb

Micah Gantman shared thisThe last six months I've been (somewhat) quietly building Trove 👑 with Michael Katz, Andrew Katz and Sam Mueller. Today, we can finally share our launch video and show you what we built to reconnect with a feeling that never left, but maybe just grew up. It was never just about the cards… It was about who you shared them with It was about the moments It was about the feeling It was about being a kid It was about who you became It was about what you held onto It was about the memories you made Would love to hear what collecting means to you. Download our app on iOS at: https://lnkd.in/eHxrzSFH Thank you Nihal Mehta, Mike Dudas and all of our friends and early pack rippers for all your support. 🎥 Special shout to Mike Zimbard and team for bringing our vision to life!

Micah Gantman liked thisMicah Gantman liked thisThe most popular member of our Comms team at Higgsfield AI has four legs and goes by the name Kimchi. The humans on the team are the ones I work closely with everyday. In the last two months, they carried two of the biggest stories in AI: a $400M Series B at a $5.4B valuation and $1B in annualized revenue 18 months after launch. They're behind our stories in Bloomberg, WSJ, BBC, Variety, 20VC, CNBC, FT, and many more. Amanda Coffee leads the team, bringing 20 years of experience to the table. She spent five years at eBay, guiding them through the massive 2015 split with PayPal, before running global corporate affairs at PayPal and media relations at Under Armour. She’s advised Fortune 500 executives through it all, and we are incredibly lucky to have her shaping our story here at Higgsfield as we scale. And now we’re expanding our world-class team and hiring across both US and Almaty, KZ. Open comms roles right now: • Senior Public Relations Manager - Corporate Affairs & Public Policy — USA: You will help us navigate the complex intersection of high-stakes corporate narratives and public policy, guiding us through the rapidly evolving AI landscape. • PR Manager (Almaty): You will be a key storyteller on the ground in our major tech hub. We need a relentless media relations powerhouse to drive product launches, announce partnerships, amplify our milestones, and scale our daily global narrative. Links in the first comment.

Micah Gantman liked thisOur agents got even more powerful. Now you can schedule recurring tasks such as checking on running experiments, proposing new line item setups or comparing weekly performance data. What is cool is that our agents know all the context around your admon stack, can give you insights and proactively act on them.

Micah Gantman liked thisMicah Gantman liked thisFor me, Harry Stebbings is one of the most defining names in the new wave of venture. I have a ton of respect for how he built 20VC into its own thesis, its own media, and its own way of making decisions. This week I was super excited to join him on 20VC. It's probably the most open conversation we've had about Higgsfield AI so far. How we got to $1B in annualized revenue in 18 months, some investor scars along the way, and the customer who went from a $99 subscription to $6M a year. I got to talk about things we've never shared publicly before. Might be the most interesting part. Coming soon.

Micah Gantman liked thisMicah Gantman liked thisHiggsfield has grown roughly 35x in the last 12 months. Now, we’re looking for the leaders who will help us scale the next mountain. We just opened two General Manager roles that I am incredibly excited about. Both work directly with me and the co-founders. Both come with massive, day-one ownership. At a company moving this fast, seats like this are exceptionally rare. 1/ GM, Strategic Partnerships (Compute) A massive share of our capital fuels compute. You will source, negotiate, and close $100M+ infrastructure deals and own the financial architecture behind them. If you have a Consulting, IB, or Infra PE background and want to operate at the bleeding edge, this is for you. https://lnkd.in/gmN9G47T 2/ GM, International Partnerships You write the playbook. You pick the vertical (advertising, gaming, retail, etc.), build the target list, and close the anchor accounts. We need an absolute killer with 7+ years of closing enterprise deals you sourced yourself. https://lnkd.in/gyjnfzZD Almaty or SF | On-site | Heavy travel | Serious equity & relocation support provided. If one of these is you, apply. If it's someone you know, please tag them.

Micah Gantman liked thisMicah Gantman liked thisWhen we were kids, opening packs of cards with friends was an event. You showed off your best cards, cheered on your friends (sometimes against them), and made up games where bragging rights meant everything. We launched something last week that brings that back to life at Trove. Collecting is better with friends. And even better when you earn bragging rights. https://lnkd.in/gQ2_5m4M

Micah Gantman liked thisMicah Gantman liked thisToday we are announcing Dynamic Creatures, a new robotics company for the hospitality and entertainment industries. At Boston Dynamics, I spent almost six years helping take some of the world’s most advanced robots from research into commercial markets. That experience convinced me that entertainment is one of the next places where sophisticated mobile robots can create real economic value. Today, most hospitality robots are built to complete a task, such as cleaning. Animatronics, on the other hand, are stationary and designed to perform a predetermined sequence of motions. We are creating a new category of mobile, interactive characters that move naturally through guest environments, understand the context of an encounter, and respond to guests in real time. Instead of repeating the same performance for a crowd, these characters can adapt to the person, place, and moment - creating interactions that feel personal, attentive, and memorable. For our robots, the value is not in task automation; it comes from creating responsive and memorable guest interactions. We believe these types of robots will provide entertainment in theme parks and red-carpet events, while also engaging in customer service interactions in hotels, casinos, and retail environments. I am grateful to be building this with one of the world’s leading voices in robot control and learning, the brilliant Farbod Farshidian; our new team; Boston Dynamics; and the investors and partners who believed in the idea early: Eniac Ventures, Kindred Ventures, Heliad, Sunshine Lake, Bluegrass Ventures, Marc Raibert, and Lukas M. Ziegler. Read the full announcement on our website and watch our launch video below! www.dynamiccreatures.com

Micah Gantman reacted on thisMicah Gantman reacted on thisSome personal news: after nearly three of the best and most intense years of my career, I’m leaving Blockaid. In my first days after signing, we had no office, little revenue, and worked with Ido Ben-Natan and Raz Niv in a hotel basement. Our team in Israel was living through war, reserve duty, rockets, and pure insanity after Oct 7th. They hustled, never complaining once. It was the most inspiring thing I've ever seen. We built the commercial organization from zero to nearly 40 people around the world: an incredible global team that ran 24/7. There were all nighters in customer war rooms. Crazy end of quarter sprints. And goals we thought impossible that we ended up crushing. We became the fastest growing company in crypto security. We won some of the biggest and most important companies in the world as customers. We stopped the biggest exploits, shut down huge cybercriminal organizations, and saved people hundreds of millions of dollars. And as AI started giving attackers even more superpowers, Blockaid became kryptonite. We were the first to find attacks and the first to stop them, days before competitors. Customers jumped to work with our product and team. But it was not easy. Blockaid is hardcore in the best possible way. There are no words to describe the intensity of working at a Cyberstarts company. It is also one of the best experiences in the world. It forms you into the best version of yourself, and you can handle anything afterwards. Blockaid is one of the strongest and most resilient teams I have ever worked with and I am incredibly proud of what we built together. Can confidently say we are solving the most important problem in crypto, and paving the way for both financial freedom and AI to transact onchain. Thank you to the entire Blockaid team and the board who trusted me to help build this company. I’m incredibly excited about where I’m headed next, and will share soon.

Micah Gantman reacted on thisMicah Gantman reacted on thisA new chapter begins, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. After nine rewarding years at mParticle, I’m turning the page with a tremendous amount of gratitude. For so many of you that I had the opportunity to work alongside, the partnerships we built, and everything I learned along the way. In particular, I’m grateful to Michael Katz and Andrew Katz (you too Adam Biehler) for giving me the opportunity all those years ago and for the trust and support that made so much of the journey possible. I’ve joined Insider One as Chief Partnerships Officer, leading our global partnerships organization. What drew me to Insider One is not simply the scale of what the company has built, but the ambition behind it. Insider One has assembled a truly global team across 30 offices and a differentiated platform that brings together customer data, personalization, journey orchestration, and AI to help some of the world’s leading brands rethink how they engage their customers. The market has taken notice and more importantly, so have customers. The recent acquisition of Bluecore, and the retail intelligence and relationships it brings with more than 400 leading retail brands, only expands what is possible from here. For me, that makes this an especially exciting moment to build. Over the coming months, we’ll be investing meaningfully in the partnerships organization across regions, adding talented people to the team and evolving our partner program to create more ways for technology, platform, cloud, commerce, and solution partners to work with Insider One. There is a lot more to come, and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with many longtime partners while meeting many new ones along the way. A sincere thank you to Serhat Soyuerel, Hande Cilingir, Uluç Akyüz, Belis Dokumacı, Meyar Sheik, Orkan Akcan, and Pradipta Dutta for the opportunity, the conversations that led me here, and the incredibly warm welcome since I arrived. I’m excited to work alongside this talented team, our customers, and our partners as we help shape the next phase of Insider One’s growth. Time to get to work.

Software beyond the screen companies have an early revenue path that pure software startups rarely touch. Government agencies fund deep tech R&D through SBIR grants, up to $2 million per award, and when handled right, those grants convert into recurring revenue. Ubiquity Ventures-backed WindBorne Systems is proof! The company just announced its $37 million Series B, and it got there in part on SBIR revenue: more than ten awards across NOAA and the military, each one converted into a recurring contract with the agency. In the newest Ubiquity University module, WindBorne CEO John Dean joins me for a crash course on SBIRs for founders. A few of the hard-won lessons: 👉 Skip any grant that will never become revenue. The good ones are the start of a long-term customer relationship 👉 Sell it like enterprise sales. Find the real buyer inside the agency, understand why the solicitation exists, and build a champion before you submit 👉 Get expert advice, but never outsource the proposal. Nobody knows your tech and your story like you do 👉 You write the milestones and the payment schedule, so make sure they work for your business Full video on Ubiquity University plus the WindBorne Series B news, links in the first comment. #SoftwareBeyondTheScreen #PhysicalAI
