Worth noticing
It links two company financing announcements and the original X post, with dates spanning April to September 2026.

Field notes

The page identifies the Series C as $150 million and the later financing as $200 million, then labels the third item “Second tier.” It says the first round was led by Khosla Ventures and the later financing included the firm. A footer disclaims affiliation with Factory, Khosla Ventures, Vinod Khosla, and X; all three items are presented with source links.
