Convex raises a $57M Series B

7 hours ago

Convex announced a $57 million Series B led by Insight Partners to support agentic software development.
Agentic engineering shifts developers from tool loyalty to delegating implementation choices to LLM agents.
Convex provides a platform with ACID transactions, end-to-end TypeScript, and automatic sync to ensure correctness.
Convex Components offer sandboxed, context-window-sized building blocks for agents to work safely.
Correctness is the default with Convex, allowing both humans and agents to build reliable systems.
Humans focus on high-level design (abstractions, boundaries, tradeoffs) while agents handle code generation.
Convex is hosting a free conference 'Abstract' on Sept 2 in SF to discuss the role of humans in an automated world.
The company is hiring across engineering, product, and marketing to scale the platform.

Adopting a new tool involves three phases: inefficiency, adequacy, and life-altering discovery.
Chatbots are limited for coding; use agents that can read files, execute programs, and make HTTP requests.
Reproduce manual work with agents to build expertise, breaking tasks into clear, actionable steps.

Paper connects teams, agents, code, and data on a single design space built on web standards, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
Paper Desktop unlocks a new workflow that links visual work with apps, agents, and repos via MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Design and code are in a continuous loop: agents sync design tokens, styles, and components between codebase and canvas for a single source of truth.

9 Mothers is hiring for 9 roles in Austin, TX, to build counter-drone systems with a focus on hardware, AI perception, and kinetic engagement.
The team emphasizes fast iteration, real deployment, and ownership where engineers directly influence specifications.
Key perks include working on autonomous perception and terminal engagement with short feedback loops and real telemetry from range testing.

Wildcard is an agentic commerce optimization platform for ecommerce and retail brands.
It provides visibility (AEO & GEO), recommendations, execution, attribution, and automation to manage AI shopping agents.
Brands need insights on product visibility, competitor performance, optimization strategies, and business outcomes as shopping shifts to AI agents.

Conductor Cloud launched on July 30th, shifting coding-agent management from local repositories to persistent cloud workspaces.
Developers can collaborate in shared workspaces, prompt agents together, and monitor work via a desktop client; the API enables programmatic workspace and agent management.
Each cloud workspace runs in an isolated microVM with preinstalled dependencies, providing a persistent environment for long-running tasks.
