Town's new funding round will be co-led by existing investor Kirsten Green (@kirstenagreen) at Forerunner Ventures and new investor Shawn Carolan (@shawnvc) at Menlo Ventures, 3 sources tell me.
Both had been planning to participate already, but stepped up when Index bowed out.

SCOOP: Concerns from Instinct over conflicts have knocked Index Ventures out of leading a new round for fellow AI assistant startup Town.
Town is now moving forward with a $90M raise at $1B co-led by two other firms, sources tell me at @UpstartsMediaCo.

I don't want to hear from the VCs who invested in HuggingFace again today.
I only want to hear from the investors who passed on it, ideally multiple times, because it "had no clear path to revenue"
