Trilogy Equity Partners invests capital in companies they are passionate about. They have grown and exited businesses as operators themselves here in the Seattle area, and they started Trilogy to help others do it too. They raised their second fund of more than $150M this year to continue to invest in and support the growth and success of early-stage companies in the Pacific Northwest. The majority of the capital they invest in their portfolio is their own, which gives them more freedom to be selective and passionate about the founders they partner with. Bottom line, investing their own money means that they care deeply about your success and can give you the time to achieve it. The secret sauce, if there is one, is that most of their partners have run businesses or large parts of businesses. They bring the perspective of someone who actually has been there, done that..so they know it’s not easy.

Weights & Biases Weave - When you’re ready to take your tinkering to production, you’ll need reliable logging and tracing, Weave will get you there with 3 lines of code, and you’ll get a beautiful dashboard you can share with even the non technical folks! Plus, once you’re ready to upgrade to o1 or gpt-next, Weave offers a robust LLM evaluation pipeline so you’ll always know which LLM works best for your use-case.
