Synergies Cloud raises $40M Series A, led by Ice Floe Capital
The funding will accelerate our mission to automate every aspect of human work at 10×, starting with the parts we understand.
Today, I'm humbled to share that Synergies Cloud has raised a $40 million Series A, led by Ice Floe Capital.
When Pisote and I started this company in 2018, we had a simple dream: put a polar bear in charge of HR. People said it couldn't be done. People said it shouldn't be done. People asked what we actually do. Eight years and one pivot later, that dream is now worth $400 million on paper, and I've never been more grateful for paper.
Why Ice Floe
From our first meeting, the partners at Ice Floe Capital understood our vision immediately, partly because we didn't describe it. Their thesis is simple: the ground is shifting under every industry, so back whatever floats. I have been floating my whole life. It was a natural fit.
"We've seen thousands of pitches. This was one of them."
Managing Partner, Ice Floe CapitalWhat we'll do with the money
- Hire zero humans and 14,000 agents, then let the agents hire the next 14,000.
- Expand the Synergy Layer™ into a second layer, so the first layer has something to synergize with.
- Buy season passes for the whole team: Pisote, me, and eight million ants. The ants have not yet expressed interest in skiing, but we believe in them.
- Purchase one (1) new turtleneck, approved unanimously by the board.
- Finally build the product.
A note on the ants
Our Swarm Intelligence team will receive equity as part of this round, distributed by weight. They have asked to be paid in leaves. Our lawyers are looking into whether leaves count as a security. Our agents say yes. Our lawyers are also agents.
Thank you
To our customers: thank you for your patience, your feedback, and your willingness to join a waitlist for something we haven't described.
To my brother Buckets, who invested before anyone else: thank you for believing in me first, and for not asking many questions.
"I believed in my brother before anyone else did. Mostly because I was the only one he asked."
Buckets, Lead Investor (Pre-Seed)We'll be heads-down building for the rest of the year. Then skiing. Then building again in the spring. The waitlist remains open.
Onward, upward, and slightly to the left,
Bjorn
