Queue the Job
Investing in Inngest was my first opportunity at PWV, and it highlighted how far developer experience for jobs and queues has come—from brittle Sidekiq runners and missing JAMstack features to elegant, one-line functions. Just as Inngest orchestrates async tasks, venture capital orchestrates deal flow: success depends on queuing the right work, trusting the system, and watching it complete.

Reviewing the Turso Beta week
The Age of Agents will impose very different demands on data than what we had before. In addition to data lakes and data warehouses, we will need a collection of databoxes: small, self-contained per-agent storage to support the explosion in the number of agents that is inevitably coming. SQLite has the right shape for this, but it lacks key capabilities that modern agents expect. Turso is a full rewrite of SQLite. It has the goal of bridging those capabilities, while keeping full API and file compatibility. It is now beta.

A letter from Ralf and Jan
I grew up in a family of lawyers, surrounded by the realities of law and regulation. From early on, I saw how much time and energy went into legal and regulatory compliance work. How manual and antiquated the work was, and how it constrained innovation. I understood both the magnitude of the challenge and the size of the opportunity. But I also knew why automation wasn’t yet possible. The technology simply wasn’t ready.
Iteration is the new product moat
We raised a $21M Series A to help companies ship and iterate faster. Inngest's step-function architecture and built-in observability let any engineer quickly productionize workflows and agents—without touching infrastructure.
