Building Something New 🥳

We *love* bragging about founders & startups, and we want to make it easier for everyone to build in public & showcase all of the awesome stuff they're working on.

Think of this as your Ship Button 🚢 or your Launch Button 🚀. This is your public bulletin board, your fan club.

Did you just...
🎁 Release a new feature or bug-fix?
👀 Buy a new domain?
💌 Launch a new campaign?
🙌 Announce a new role on your team?
💸 Raise a new round of funding?
🥳 Even start an entire company?

Whatever it is, no matter how big or small, we want to help spread the word on what you've been building and brag about you to everyone. It doesn't have to be a tool that’s a part of your startup — you should share even if it's a side-project that's not for a company!

Yes, all you have to do is press that fun 'I Have An Announcement!' button and fill out the form. The policy is: anything that can be tweeted (announcements, updates, product launches, design changes, hiring or funding shoutouts, etc.) can be turned into free marketing for you!

New announcements will be posted here in daily cycles for the whole world to see 🌎.

Or You Can Always Email Us Your Announcements (Whatever Is Easier)

Curai Health

Khosla-Backed Health AI Startup Raises $27.5 Million To Supercharge Primary Care

Telemedicine makes doctors more accessible, but it doesn’t necessarily make them more productive. Seeing patients remotely still involves a lot of time and data entry into electronic health records. Neal Khosla wants to change that by using artificial intelligence to turbocharge primary care and make telemedicine better for both doctors and patients. “We think that AI can be a superpower, where we can make the cost of care lower,” says Khosla, cofounder of San Francisco-based Curai, which announced a $27.5 million Series B financing round on Wednesday.

Public

We raised $65M to change the culture of the stock market

Fifteen months ago, we launched Public.com to reinvent how people experience and invest in the stock market. We pioneered real-time fractional investing, as well as a true social network built upon a stock brokerage. The ability to buy any stock with any amount of money and, in the same place, discuss investments with a diverse community has been core to the growth we’ve captured so far. Today, we’re excited to announce our Series C financing of $65M. The round is led by Sameer at Accel for the third time in a row, who is joining our board, alongside Alison from Greycroft (former VP Marketing at LinkedIn and CMO at Stripe), and Oliver from Lakestar.
