Amanda Kahlow announced that 1mind raised $40M, with Battery Ventures leading a $30M Series A and Primary, Wing, and Operator Collective joining alongside a set of GTM executives from leading SaaS companies. The company already reports millions in revenue, zero churn, and measurable impact from early deployments. HubSpot recorded a 25% revenue lift from its 1mind “superhuman,” Nutanix doubled conversion compared with its prior chatbot, and Seismic generated $1M in pipeline within weeks of going live.

Kahlow argues that modern B2B sales is breaking under constraints of time and capacity rather than intent or effort. 1mind is building AI teammates that engage buyers wherever they are, join video calls, run demos, and progress deals without the bottlenecks tied to human scheduling. Several customers were confident enough in the results to join the cap table. Her message is that go-to-market teams need a new operating system built on continuous responsiveness, and that digital teammates capable of acting across the funnel represent that shift.

At Volvo Cars’ Loft Auditorium, AI Collective Sweden opened its Gothenburg chapter with a focused session on what enterprises actually need to make agentic AI real. Host Neelima Misra set the frame clearly by arguing that most pilots collapse not from model limits but from organizational gaps in meaning, data, and governance. The panel and contributors from DAMA Sweden emphasized that architecture, not novelty, determines whether autonomous systems survive beyond initial experiments.

The discussion surfaced the same blockers seen across global chapters. Teams struggle with fragmented knowledge structures, inconsistent data pipelines, and governance that lags deployment speed. Speakers underlined that enterprise readiness demands shared semantics, real-time data operations, and clear guardrails before any agent can scale safely. Attendees left with a sharper sense that agentic AI is an engineering and organizational discipline, not a feature, and that Sweden’s ecosystem is primed to approach it with structure rather than optimism alone.

At The Village Hive in Toronto, the AI Collective partnered with Make.com for a hands-on evening that treated no-code automation as a practical skill rather than a trend. Hosts Keerthana Mahadevan, Alex Sirota, and Alex Barnes walked attendees through marketing and finance workflows that showed how simple integrations can remove hours of repetitive work without touching a codebase.

The working session underscored that most teams believe they lack capacity, yet the real constraint is often missing systems, not missing people. Participants saw how pairing Make.com with existing tools can cut turnaround times dramatically and reduce error rates, provided teams map their processes with intention. The night closed with a build lab where founders and operators left with working automations and a clearer mindset for designing scalable internal workflows.

The Monday.com × Lovable × Railway Hackathon is bringing a full-stack sprint to New York, designed for builders who learn by shipping and ship by thinking clearly. This one-day session places you in a room with operators, engineers, and early-stage founders working through the same question: how fast can an idea become something real?

Every participant receives Lovable credits to start building, and the top teams will walk away with platform credits, perks, and cash awards across four categories: Best Full Stack Build, Best Automation, Best Solo Build, and Community Favorite. Judges from Coorelation VC, Olive Tree Capital, and Berkeley-aligned investors will evaluate work with a focus on execution, clarity, and technical depth. If you want a room where collaboration moves fast and conversations turn into future companies, this is it.

Roam is the virtual workspace our team relies on to stay connected across time zones. It makes collaboration feel natural with shared spaces, private rooms, and built-in AI tools.

Roam’s focus on human-centered collaboration is why they’re our Premier Partner, supporting our mission to connect the builders and leaders shaping the future of AI.
