"It may seem kind of obvious in hindsight, but when you have the Eiffel Tower in the background, really emotional moments, you sell a lot of tickets to Paris." Tomas Puig, Founder and CEO of Alembic Technologies, on helping Delta Airlines pinpoint the top performing piece of their Olympic campaign and prove its dollar impact in days. They also just announced their $145M Series B co-led by Accenture and WndrCo.
Modern infrastructure is powered by automation. Non-human identities like service accounts, API keys, and AI agents now drive the majority of access across cloud environments. Most enterprises still rely on static credentials and manual processes to manage them. Defakto Security (formerly known as SPIRL) is replacing that outdated approach with a platform built to manage machine identity at scale. We’ve been proud to partner with Danny Oliveri and Eli Nesterov since leading their Series A last year, and we’re excited to continue that support as they announce a $30.75 million Series B.

Incredible work by our portfolio company Nova Sky Stories — turning the sky into a canvas over the Vatican. It's a powerful reminder of what's possible when art and technology unite.
The biggest drone show in Europe dazzled crowds in the Vatican City on Saturday, as 3,000 lightweight, custom-made drones honored the Catholic Church’s Jubilee Year by creating massive light sculptures in the sky. The show accompanied "Grace for the World," the first concert ever held in St. Peter’s Square, and was the culmination of almost two years of planning—here's how it came together.

From startup intern to general partner at WndrCo, Justin Wexler's journey is a masterclass in how enterprise sales savvy can drive real VC impact. After building his early experience at TCV, Wexler joined Jeffrey Katzenberg's WndrCo to help portfolio companies like Alembic Technologies and WRITER close major deals with Fortune 500 giants. Now a GP, he’s using that same skill set as part operator and part strategist to unlock value far beyond capital. Read how Wexler went from analyzing CRM data to driving seven-figure contracts, and why enterprise sales is now central to WndrCo’s investment edge. 🔗 Full story in Venture Capital Journal: https://okt.to/u89wQN #VentureCapital #WndrCo #VCJ #AI #AIStartups
