Exa just passed $100m in annualized revenue. We've grown almost exactly 10x per year for 3 years. We now handle 2 billion requests a month from 200k+ teams. And it’s still so early: We predict agents will search 1000x more than humans by 2030. Agents don't search like humans. They write long, complex queries and want all the world's data, not just the web. We've spent 5 years building a search engine designed for them. We now serve personal agents, AI labs, coding agents, GTM agents, really any agent. Exa gives these agents access to 100s of billions of web documents and tons of proprietary data. Our customers are increasingly noticing that information is the bottleneck to agent performance. While the world seems close to perfect intelligence with models like Fable and Astra, we are very far from perfect information. To our small but legendary team, thank you for getting us here, from engineering to research to GTM to ops. To our customers, it is an honor to serve you. We have some exciting releases coming soon and can't wait to share them 🫡

hello world! im so happy to announce that i’ve joined @modal! when thinking about my next role post-VC, i prioritized the following: + a strong presence in NYC: modal and its NYC office are growing…FAST! i started yesterday and my desk has already been moved to accommodate more growth (lol) + talent density: even as an outside observer, the ambition at modal was abundantly clear - deep developer/customer love, a wide-reaching platform vision, an intense focus on cutting-edge research + a POV on brand: from its organic IC-led presence online to my conversations internally about everything from eng blog to socials to editorial projects, it was obvious that this is a team that deeply cares about how it shows up in the world there has been quite a stir over the past few weeks (oops lol) of what “storytelling” and related work means in the world of tech... im excited to help shape what it means at modal :)

Today is my last day at cursor / spacex. It’s been an honor and a privilege to get to do everything we’ve done with the people I got to do it with. Feels like yesterday @shaoruu posted a demo “what if we just shove the whole file in the llm” and I blinked and suddenly we’re sending ai to mars. Thanks for everything everybody
