Hygraph, formerly known as GraphCMS, is a cloud-based content management system designed to unify the content layer.

The demand for connected digital services continues to grow, driven by the increasing need for businesses to deliver content across various devices and platforms, including mobile and IoT. As the first GraphQL-native Headless CMS, Hygraph eliminates traditional content management pain points by harnessing the power of GraphQL. By simplifying content management at scale, Hygraph frees your team from complex setups and reduces over-dependency on developers.

What founders get wrong about speed and scale

Every founder faces the same question: how fast should you go? In conversation with our Venture Partner, Duleepa “Dups” Wijayawardhana, we explored why so many startups struggle to balance speed, quality and scale, and how to get it right (at least most of the time).

The state of agentic AI in 2025: what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next

At the start of the year, “2025: The Year of Agents” sounded like headline bait. Eight months in, it feels like an understatement. Sam Altman said agents would “join the workforce” in 2025. Satya Nadella expects them to replace segments of knowledge work. Marc Benioff wants Salesforce to be the “#1 provider of digital labour.” That’s not future tense anymore - today, agents are moving tickets, shipping code, and digesting documents.
