KillerStartups’ Mission is to help entrepreneurs achieve the next big thing. Our role is to connect you with founders you can help, and founders who can help you!
When we featured Uber in 2010, Founder Travis Kalanick might have still been your driver.
Uber raised their first $1.6MM three months after we featured them. $4.9B later, we are still proud to have discovered them.

Our 30-Second Summary:
In a strategic move, Anu Hariharan, former head of YC Continuity, has joined forces with ex-colleagues and former Brex executive Lucas Fox to establish a new fund named Avra. Seeking to raise around $350 million, Avra plans to launch an eight-week program, often likened to "YC for growth," targeting post-Series A startups with substantial revenue. The invite-only initiative, involving seasoned business leaders, will mentor selected CEOs, resembling Y Combinator's successful approach. With a focus on strong product-market fit, Avra aims to guide startups through leadership challenges and prevent common mistakes.

Our 30-Second Summary:
In a remarkable turn of events, Google's DeepMind AI researchers in London closely monitored Hurricane Lee's trajectory in September. DeepMind's experimental software, GraphCast, defied traditional forecasts by accurately predicting the storm's landfall on Long Island, Nova Scotia, deviating from major Northeast cities. This success is part of a breakthrough season for AI-powered weather models, with notable contributions from Nvidia and Huawei. Veteran forecasters, who previously doubted AI's efficacy, now anticipate significant advancements in meteorology, marking a transformative shift in the field.

Our 30-Second Summary:
Financial crime-fighting startup Refine Intelligence has secured $13 million in seed funding to address the escalating compliance costs in the financial sector. A study revealed a staggering $61 billion spent by the North American banking industry in 2022, combatting financial crime. The funding round, led by Glilot Capital Partners and Fin Capital, with contributions from SYN Ventures and others, underscores the increasing importance of combating illicit activities in the face of rising digital banking adoption and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Refine's AI-driven software platform distinguishes genuine customer behavior often flagged by other monitoring systems, using a unique dataset to recognize legitimate transactions, such as large withdrawals for car purchases or funds for international student tuition. CEO Uri Rivner emphasizes the platform's focus on understanding customer life stories to explain anomalies and highlights Refine's proactive approach in reaching out to customers for clarification on unusual transactions
