Team crushed it! Looking forward to following up on this and integrating more AI into our overall product development process thoughtfully and intelligently. Appreciate the team for wading through the hype, being open-minded, and finding the actual diamonds.
We just wrapped up our two-week AI Bootcamp at Ghost, and the results exceeded our expectations! Week one immersed our engineers in GenAI, followed by a second week exploring broader AI workflows across the company, culminating in an energetic hackathon. 💡 100% of engineers reported receiving good or better value from the sessions 💡 100% also feel more comfortable integrating AI tools into their daily work 🛠️ Most valuable takeaways? Prompting strategies, context/rules management, and dedicated time to experiment with backlog tickets The team's enthusiasm and creativity throughout this bootcamp has been inspiring. While we have plenty of solid insights to implement immediately, we're even more excited about what's on the horizon. This successful initiative is just the beginning of our AI journey! #AIInnovation #TechCulture #ContinuousLearning #Engineering

✨ Founder Spotlight ✨ Last year, we invested in LA-based startup Ghost, leading its $30M Series B. Last week, we were thrilled to re-up support in their $40M Series C, led by L Catterton — the leading consumer growth investor (by LVMH & Groupe Arnault) (see Fortune exclusive in comments). 🚀 This marks an important milestone for Ghost, which has been quietly revolutionizing retail inventory with its B2B marketplace that grants “access to excess.” On the blog, we catch up with Ghost founders Josh Kaplan & Dee Murthy to dig into the news, what’s happened over the last year and their vision for the future. Some Highlights: 💡 1️⃣ L Catterton Partnership: With its incredible portfolio + retail relationships, Ghost is positioned to scale, integrating deeper into the ecosystem of the world’s leading consumer brands. 2️⃣ Data-Driven Growth: Ghost is pushing boundaries with advancements in data science, AI, and machine learning to help brands unlock new opportunities for their excess and wholesale inventory. 📊 3️⃣ Beyond Surplus: Ghost is expanding beyond its original focus on surplus inventory, creating a marketplace where every product can find its home, ensuring under-distributed brands connect with new buyers. We're big believers in Ghost — helping retailers solve the surplus inventory issue in a major way — and are happy to welcome L Catterton to the journey alongside Union Square Ventures, Eniac Ventures, Equal Ventures, FJ Labs & QuantumLight.

#Ghost is thrilled to announce the close of our Series C round, led by L Catterton 🚀. We’re deeply grateful for the unwavering support and belief in our vision from our incredible investors. A huge thank you to our dedicated employees, loyal customers, and everyone who’s been part of this journey. We couldn’t have done it without your trust and commitment! https://lnkd.in/eeTiPSnm

Proud to announce today that one of Eniac Ventures' fastest growing companies, Ghost, raised a $40M series C, just in time for Halloween. 👻🚀 - We co-led the seed with Equal Ventures not even 3 years ago - Our series A, B, and C all happened during the downturn in the market, during 2022-24 - Like other iconic companies (eg Airbnb, Shopify, Uber), we are already outgrowing our original TAM expectations, ie creating the market - This may be one of the fastest growing non AI native companies in the country at the moment - Welcome the team L Catterton alongside Cathay Innovation Union Square Ventures Equal Ventures and Eniac Ventures - Congrats to the hardest working co-f's in the biz, Dee Murthy and Josh Kaplan, and their epic team in LA - Dee famously wiped out at Pitch and Run NYC while raising capital - We're hiring! thread @ https://lnkd.in/eDyabiYJ fortune magazine exclusive @ https://lnkd.in/ezRdvq6n
