Synthefy @synthefyinc

We are announcing our $6.5M seed round led by @Wing_VC, with @haystackvc, @samsungnext, Canonical @ai, @LightscapeVC, and angels from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta. We started Synthefy around a simple observation: most data that runs the economy is not text. It is transactions, sensor readings, trades, inventory, customer records, and time series. Yet every prediction problem built on that data, from forecasting and fraud detection to pricing and predictive maintenance, still requires a bespoke pipeline and months of data and ML work. We are building foundation models for structured data to change that. Our first model, Nori, puts predictive capability into its pretrained weights, so customers do not need to train and maintain a separate model for every dataset and use case. Our mission is to give customers predictive answers from their structured data that they cannot get from today’s tooling, 100× faster and at one-tenth the cost of bespoke ML. We are grateful to our team, early users, and investors for believing in our mission. Try Nori at Full announcement in the comments.

Synthefy @synthefyinc

Today we're releasing Synthefy Nori: a tabular foundation model for structured data. → Ranks #1 on aggregate across 96 datasets, ahead of TabPFN-3 > Beats tuned XGBoost & LightGBM on ~80% benchmark datasets, with zero training or tuning → 6M parameters, ~1/10 the size of its nearest peers → Fully open source: weights, inference, training code Pass your labeled rows as context, get predictions back in seconds. No training. No tuning. Built for the predictions businesses run on (demand planning, risk, pricing, churn, conversion) Details to full release below. 👇

Today we are announcing our $1B Series C, but money isn’t the story. The story is what we’ll do with it, and the scale of the challenge ahead. Our mission isn’t constrained by capital, supply, or demand. It’s constrained by talent. To build America’s next great power company, we need the engineers, operators, and creatives ready to take on the challenge to join us. Power is the most important product in the world. It runs through everything: our homes, hospitals, schools, factories, and future. And the grid that delivers it is breaking. At Base, we’re building the future of power so human progress can accelerate. In the past two years, we’ve grown from an idea into one of the fastest growing energy companies in America. Now we’re entering a new phase of growth. Our first manufacturing site is rising in the heart of Austin, inside the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. Here we’ll build our own hardware to meet surging demand and scale nationwide. This is a key step in putting a battery on every home in the country. Few teams get to say their work powers human progress. We do. With a billion dollars of fuel, our next wave of growth will be defined not by capital, but by people who choose to step up, take ownership, and build the next great American power company. The old system is breaking. Come build the new one. Our Series C was led by Addition, with participation from both new and existing investors including Trust Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, Thrive Capital, Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Altimeter, StepStone, Elad Gil, 137 Ventures, Terrain, Waybury, Ribbit, CapitalG, Spark, BOND, Lowercarbon, Avenir, Glade Brook, Positive Sum, and 1789.
