seed funding

Former Meta engineers have launched Slashwork, an AI-powered enterprise communication platform, after securing $3.5 million in seed funding. Backed by investors like Slack co-founder Cal Henderson and former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg, Slashwork aims to revolutionize corporate collaboration. By integrating large language models into all content, it offers advanced search and AI agents to enhance information discovery and productivity. The startup targets tech-focused companies, planning a wider rollout later this year.

Kilo Code, an AI‑coding startup founded by former GitLab CEO Sid Sijbrandij and Scott Breitenother, raised an $8 million seed round. Its platform integrates with IDEs like VS Code and Cursor, offering a multi‑model API that processed over 3 trillion tokens in a month. Early adopters such as Plug & Pay report that 80% of their developers now rely on Kilo Code, cutting multi‑day tasks to a single day. With a $1,000 right of first refusal from GitLab and growing demand for “vibe coding,” the company is poised for further VC interest and possible acquisition.
