Happy Tuesday Brex Community,

I’ve heard a lot of talk about AI replacing VCs. But some funds are doing something better: pairing partners with AI agents. These aren’t robo-investors; they’re systems that surface signal (technical debt in your code, sentiment dips in your team, early traction in your APIs) so the human can focus on judgment. Great venture is still personal and likely going back to a more boutique model, but now it’s faster, sharper, and should be way more intelligent. Market efficiencies are a good thing, especially when they help the best founders get funded faster.

Happy 4th!

Growing together, Michael Morgenstern

Tandem makes office leasing easy. Whereas a typical office search takes 3-6 months, Tandem’s platform gets it done in 14 days or less. They use AI to streamline browse & search, tour coordination, offer submission, lease signing, insurance, and even rent payments.   Lower transaction costs mean shorter lease terms — Tandem customers get space with lease terms as short as month-to-month. 

Ambassador's POV: In-person work is now a choice.  80%+ of companies in the US now work 2-3 days a week in person.  That change has upended the office market and unleashed a wave of owners who want to reach tenants faster and get them in sooner.  Tandem is building a new way to tour, lease, and operate office space, and it's working.  They've helped more than 500 companies in SF & NY find, lease, and share office space.
