    @alexrkonradSCOOP: 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. https://www.upstartsmedia.com/p/scoop-town-fundraise-vc-reshuffle
    @EricNewcomer"To be clear, our friends at Newcomer didn’t have the initial story wrong, our own sources say: this was an about-face that is unusual for such a buzzy round and major investors involved. We get into means for each startup — and the developing AI assistant race — in more detail below." Always reassuring to read! Source is telling me Alex is right here. Forerunner and Menlo replacing Index as leads on the $1B Town round after Index backed potential rival Instinct. Drama!
