We break down the new FinTech 3.0 RFS, why Brian Armstrong wants to 10x crypto startups, and whether stable coins finally have real use cases beyond speculation. Plus: Lobster Capital just closed our first Series A graduation only 14 months after investing at seed. We discuss the follow-on strategy, why 45% of YC companies raise Series A (vs 15-20% industry average), and how to think about reserves when you’re investing in the top 2% of each batch.

Performance gains since IPO tell the story: Circle +331% CoreWeave +268% Voyager Technologies +75% Chime +29% Hinge Health +9% AI infra, fintech, defense, healthcare — liquidity is starting to flow. The window isn’t wide open — but it’s cracked. And it’s moving. The capital cycle is turning. Quietly — but fast. VCs can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. And LPs have to be paying attention too. 7 Karen Sheffield, MBA Pachamama Ventures • 17K followers I'm hearing a lot of founders getting advice from VCs to raise larger pre-seed rounds. You do not need to do that to appear hot or legit. You need to raise the right amount of capital that will allow you to 1) go back to building and selling (instead of risking the deal going stale) and 2) unlock the next stage of commercialization so you acquire the best kind of investors aka customers. Go fast with high conviction investors and block out the noise. 31 1 Comment Dave Goldblatt Vibe Capital • 2K followers At Vibe Capital, we believe the venture landscape is bifurcating. The reason is simple: reality is full of drunk cats. "Drunk Cats" are the emergent, second-order effects that arise from simple rules. They can tank a product, entire system, or an entire country. The ability to see -and master - these drunk cats reveals the true split in startups today. It is no longer between software and hardware, but between "impressionistic" founders who map the world as it is, and "mechanistic" founders who can reverse-engineer reality from first principles. My latest Dave's Quick Hits newsletter provides the playbook for identifying and funding these mechanistic architects. It is about a fundamental shift from describing effects to mastering cause. I break down the three core stages of the Mechanistic Playbook: 1. See the System: Identifying the hidden rules and emergent flaws in any complex system, from software to biology. 2. Debug the System: Using technology to patch the legacy "bugs" of a previous industrial paradigm. 3. Architect a New System: Building with true primitives, like DNA, to program matter itself. The next trillion-dollar companies won't be built by operators chasing surface-level trends. They'll be built by system-thinkers who can see, debug, and architect reality’s source code.

At M3A Healthcare Ventures, we believe this is the moment to invest boldly. 1. Healthcare Is Ripe for Disruption—And It Has To Be U.S. healthcare costs are projected to hit $7.2 trillion by 2031, yet outcomes lag behind every other developed nation. Workforce shortages, and fractured data systems create inefficiencies that AI is uniquely positioned to solve. • 25% of U.S. healthcare spending is administrative waste. • 90% of hospitals face staffing shortages in key roles. • Doctors spend 2 hours on documentation for every 1 hour with patients. AI isn’t a “nice to have” anymore. It’s becoming a critical tool for cost control, productivity, and quality improvement. 2. We’ve Entered the Platform Shift Era Apple Intelligence, OpenAI, and other foundation models have catalyzed a new generation of startups. In healthcare, this means real-time ambient documentation, predictive care, smart inventory management, and even AI-generated clinical trial design—all happening today. This is akin to investing in SaaS in 2006 or mobile apps in 2011. Except this time, the TAM is $4 trillion larger. 3. Buyers Are Ready—and They’re Buying Just five years ago, hospitals were wary of AI. Today, they’re budgeting for it. Health systems, ASCs, pharma, and insurers are deploying capital to integrate AI that: • Shortens revenue cycles • Boosts clinician efficiency • Reduces preventable readmissions • Enhances training and education with immersive tools In short: the demand isn’t theoretical—it’s contractually real. 4. Healthcare AI Has Multiple High-Value Exit Paths M&A activity is accelerating, and healthcare AI companies are being acquired by: • Strategics like Stryker (e.g., $130M for care.ai) • PE-backed rollups seeking operational efficiency • Big Tech, which is aggressively moving into healthcare These aren’t just tech exits. They’re life sciences, SaaS, and data infrastructure exits rolled into one—often with 3–5x higher revenue multiples. 5. We Have the Talent, Data, and Infrastructure The convergence of: • Open health data regulations (ONC Cures Act) • AI-native medical founders trained in both tech and care delivery • Decreasing costs and better modeling We finally have a clear runway to build and scale. The Next MedTech Unicorns Will Be AI-First The next wave will be built on data, AI, and automation. Investors who move now will back the next Teladoc, Intuitive, or Epic—except leaner, faster, and born in the AI-native era. #HealthcareAI #HealthTech #VentureCapital #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare #MedTech #ArtificialIntelligence #StartupInvestment #HealthTechStartups #VCFunding #AIStartup 46 2 Comments Federico Antoni Hi Ventures • 29K followers I feel very lucky to be deploying capital right now. AI isn’t just making startups faster or cheaper. It’s expanding what founders can build. Small teams can now reimagine entire industries and create products that simply weren’t possible a few years ago. From our seat at Hi Ventures, Latin America looks like one of the most fascinating places to invest in this new era. Getting to partner with founders building in this moment is the best part of the job. 40 5 Comments Nadav Shimoni, M.D. A-Squared Ventures • 12K followers TL;DR: announcing our 2nd fund of $40M and rebranding as A-Squared Ventures ! 5 years ago, Nir Arkin invited me for coffee to share a gap that he saw in the market. Founders building in digital health were missing a dedicated vehicle for early-stage investments. Too many shiny tech tools were sitting on a shelf without a clear buyer. So we set a goal. To become the best partners for digital health entrepreneurs in Israel, and Arkin Digital Health was born. Since then, 12 teams have allowed us to be a part of their journey. In our work before and after investing, we remained obsessively focused on one question above all: “Who will buy the product and why”. This obsession also led to my relocation to NY and establishing a dual operation in the US and Israel. Aiming to maximize our friction with the market and hopefully building the bridge for founders over the ocean. Today I’m SUPER (!!) excited to share our next phase. Announcing our second fund of $40M, to be called from now on A-Squared Ventures. Powered by Arkin Capital and supported by top-tier Israeli institutions. Building additional foundations to hopefully be the best place for early-stage #digitalhealth founders to scale from 0 to 1. No Hardware. No Bio. Only Software for unmet business needs in US healthcare. I’m deeply thankful to our new LPs, especially Shira Eting and team Vintage Investment Partners for being the first to support this new fund and Tomer Goldberg, Harel Insurance & Finance for your faith and vision. And above all to Nir Arkin and Arkin Capital team, for the unequivocal support from day one! Finally and most importantly, to all the founders who allowed us to work together Yoni Shtein, Yael Peled Adam Ittai Dayan Yuval Baror Jonathan Lorber Igal Iancu Alon Joffe Alon Rabinovich Dror Zaide Drew Schiller Ferry Tamtoro Moran Snir Guy Snir Sandra Abrevaya Trey Sutten Chuck Hollowell Eben Esterhuizen Eyal Heldenberg Moe Abramovitch Tomer Baum Yishai Knobel Kfir Eyal Joining an early-stage company as investors is like getting married. We will continue to do our best to clean the dishes and cook tasty meals. Thank you. We have already led two investments from the new fund and looking for more 😉 475 167 Comments Martyn Eeles Clarma Capital • 12K followers Second-Time Founders Don’t Fundraise Like You - Here’s Why They do not send decks. They do not ask for intros. They raise in half the time and walk into the room with leverage you never see coming. In this new issue of HealthVC, we break down how experienced founders: Pre-bake the round long before the launch Sequence LPs to build layered momentum Use co-invest dynamics to reduce friction Manufacture FOMO before the first call is made If you’ve ever felt like your fundraising process is slower, harder, or more uncertain than others, this explains why. 📬 Read it now on Substack 5 Sergei Bogdanov PhD🚀 Yellow Rocks! • 13K followers Carta's Venture Capital Performance Report Released Carta, a platform for tracking and analyzing venture capital investments, has published a report analyzing the returns of funds of different sizes and founding years. Key findings: ▪️ Small funds ($1-10M and $10-25M) traditionally deliver higher returns for LPs at early stages than larger funds; ▪️ Even among the most recent funds, small venture funds continue to deliver higher returns than larger funds of the same founding year; ▪️ At the same time, new funds face more challenging conditions: closing times have increased, LPs have become more selective, and they are focusing on proven teams. Compared to the report's data, YellowRocks.vc ranks in the top 10% for returns among funds in its category. I'm glad to see we're among the best! 31 1 Comment Ben Yoskovitz Highline Beta • 21K followers We need more angel investors. Angel investors are a key component of any economic growth, particularly at a local level, outside of top tier startup markets (SF/Silicon Valley and possibly NY, although they're important there too.) If you believe founders are key to building an economy, because they create net new value, hire people and make sure economies don't stagnate, then you also need to recognize the importance of angel investors. Angel investors invest before anyone else. They take the biggest risk, even if the check sizes are smaller. It's all their money. (Note: A lot of this applies to venture studios too, btw.) Founders don't create value in a vacuum. The "hero's tale" of a sole founder building a billion dollar business through sheer willpower is great, but it's simply a good story. Founders don't make it without help, and angel investors provide a big chunk of the early help needed. Recently, Y Combinator stopped investing in Canadian incorporated companies. It threw the Canadian startup ecosystem into a tailspin. Some panicked. Others noted that YC already strongly encourages Canadian startups to incorporate in the US. Instead of worrying about what YC or anyone else is doing, write more checks. This isn't a post about Canada. Every secondary startup market suffers from "wannabe syndrome" because we can't, and never will be, the heart and soul of startup creation. We'll never have the gumption, risk-taking appetite or talent concentration to claim, "We're #1!" It's true in Canada, just as true as it is in the US's Midwest or anywhere else. Get over it. Write more checks. The flywheel is critical: 1. Founder starts a company 2. Angels invest 3. Founder proves traction 4. Founder probably raises more capital 5. Founder wins 6. Founder becomes an angel investor Winning is very hard. Winning without early believers is that much harder. When that founder wins, I believe many of them are interested in contributing back, becoming angel investors to help the "next generation." I did it. I know many others did as well. If more founders win, in part thanks to angel investors believing in them early on, then we'll create more angel investors. More angel investors means more investments, which means more startups, which means more kicks at the can at winning. That's how you build a local startup ecosystem. It's not conferences, government programs, physical spaces, or anything else (although all of those things can be valuable). It's money. 💰 Money that comes from winning founders that recognize the importance of fostering new founders. Winning founders can also be strong mentors. The startup ecosystem + economy are more complicated than this. But I'm fairly certain if you had even 2x the active angel investors in any given community that community would be doing 3-5x better (or more!) We need more angel investors. 68 6 Comments The VC Corner 27K followers Y Combinator just dropped their Request for Startups for Fall 2025 💥 It’s a blueprint of what YC wants to fund right now. The ideas they believe could become billion dollar companies. Some are no-brainers. Others are wild 👇 6 Dini M. Peak XV Partners • 20K followers Dear early stage founders --- getting customer introductions from your investors is bad for your company 👀 If you have initial PMF and are in the process of scaling up, you shouldn't lean on introductions from investors because most of these are a waste of time and they typically don't help you accelerate for the next phase. What you actually need: 1️⃣ figure out how to land a meeting with a stranger through the right marketing / cold outreach 2️⃣ leverage existing customers to get referrals from folks they believe can get value out of your product (note: different from investor intro) 3️⃣ build your sales process through the learnings PS: This ofcourse doesn't include super early companies looking for their first few design partners OR late stage companies (proven GTM at scale) looking to get into target accounts. ✌ Totally agree with leveraging your network for these 2 use cases ^^ But everyone else -- get to experimenting with telling your story and selling your product using cold outreach! ✅ Your future self will thank you! 🔑 #founders #investors #VCs #operatingpartner 24 2 Comments Reza Chowdhury AlleyWatch • 15K followers Everything you need to know about the largest NYC startup funding rounds of June 2025; broken down by industry, stage, investors, and more. Nine companies secured over $1.1 billion in venture capital, with the month's biggest deal reaching $600 million. From Series A breakthroughs to late-stage mega-rounds, these funding champions span AI, fintech, healthcare, and beyond. Get the complete breakdown of who raised what, from whom, and what it means for New York's tech ecosystem. 4 Wahid Rahim Value3 GmbH • 3K followers Cambridge healthtech startup Auryx raises $2 million to develop earbud-based heart and lung monitoring technology Cambridge-based healthtech startup Auryx has raised $2 million in new funding, with Celero Ventures leading the round, the company announced on April 30, 2026. Auryx is developing technology that could turn everyday earbuds into continuous monitors for heart and lung health. Its platform uses sound captured through existing microphones to detect physiological signals in real time, aiming to expand health monitoring beyond the optical sensors commonly used in wearables. The company says the technology is based on research at the University of Cambridge combining machine learning and audio diagnostics. Auryx plans to use the funding to advance hardware integration, improve its models, deepen commercial partnerships, and grow its team. The raise points to continued investor interest in healthtech platforms that can add clinical-style monitoring capabilities to consumer devices already used at scale. 17 1 Comment Weston Ginn Bridge Angel Investors • 3K followers Great overview of the Florida VC ecosystem 👇 What stands out is not just the ~$2.85B raised, but how distributed and specialized each region is becoming. • South Florida → crypto, fintech, LatAm access • Tampa Bay → strong early-stage pipeline • Orlando/Space Coast → deep tech, defense, space • North Florida → emerging operator-led funds Tax advantages help, but the real story is growing density of founders, angels, and operators building locally. Still early compared to SF and NY, which is the opportunity. Who are the next Florida-based funds or angels getting active? 4 3 Comments Show more posts Show fewer posts Explore top content on LinkedIn Find curated posts and insights for relevant topics all in one place.
