Seven Stars Announces First Fund to Back the Visionaries Shaping AI's Future
'AI is the equalizer for the 90%, poised to transform lives on a global scale – and it all starts with motivated founders to build enduring companies that empower individuals and companies to thrive in a rapidly-changing world.'
'While AI already benefits one billion knowledge workers across finance, law, and marketing, I'm most excited by AI's impact on the rest of the world's eight billion people,' said Steven Lee, Founder and General Partner at Seven Stars. 'AI is the equalizer for the 90%, poised to transform lives on a global scale – and it all starts with motivated founders to build enduring companies that empower individuals and companies to thrive in a rapidly-changing world.'
Lee has been investing in seed-stage AI companies since the early days of the AI revolution and has helped founders raise over $1.25 billion in capital. He built Seven Stars to deliver unique value to visionary AI founders, offering hands-on fundraising coaching, access to a diverse talent pipeline, and a thoughtfully-curated advisory network with world-class executives, operators, and researchers with experience from leading AI companies, including Google, Nubank, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
Seven Stars' model is focused on co-investing and working collaboratively alongside other VCs and angel investors. The firm's well-established LP base comprises long-term institutional investors, including a university endowment, pension fund, and firms managing capital on behalf of endowments, foundations and insurance companies, among others.
'Steven's extensive relationships and trusted reputation with leading AI companies have positioned Seven Stars to drive the next phase of AI-driven disruption,' said Hunter Somerville, Partner at StepStone Group (NASDAQ: STEP), a global private markets investment firm. 'We're proud to invest in his oversubscribed inaugural fund.'
'Steven exemplifies the core principles we look for when backing a new manager,' said Nate Leung, Partner at Sapphire Partners and co-founder of OpenLP. 'In our opinion, he brings an outstanding track record from a highly respected firm, with clear early signals of potential outperformance and what we believe is a distinct investment edge. His portfolio already includes several category-leading companies in AI applications, and his reputation is backed by strong endorsements from founders and co-investors alike. With strong integrity, ambition, and a deep commitment to building authentic relationships, we're excited to support Steven as he builds Seven Stars into an enduring firm.'
Lee's investment thesis – and the backstory behind the firm's name – is deeply rooted in his background as first-generation Korean-American, born in Los Angeles' Koreatown. His parents' clothing small business called 'Seven Star Fashion' was the influence behind the Seven Stars name – and in practice, Lee resonates with founders with entrepreneurial stories similar to his family's. As one of the few Korean-descent partners in the VC industry, he's an active member of Gold House, a non-profit organization that empowers and unites Asian Pacific creators and businesses. In 2024, Gold House named Lee as one of the most impactful Asian Pacific leaders in culture and society alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, and Stanford Professor Fei-Fei Li.
'When I meet a founder, I'm drawn to their life story, the obstacles they've overcome, and what motivates them to build an iconic company,' continued Lee. 'Digging into the real grit of the founder can oftentimes signal the ultimate success of a startup – with the founder at the center of it all.'

Labor unions mobilize to challenge advance of algorithms in workplaces
Union leaders say they must intervene to protect workers from the potential for AI to cause massive job displacement or infringe on employment rights. The technology has already become a sticking point in some labor disputes, such as the Hollywood writers strikes in 2023. Advertisement In February, Gallup found that one-third of workers in the United States feared AI would lead to fewer job opportunities. AI proponents and some economists argue that in the past, technologies that have disrupted some careers also created many new jobs. Advertisement Lorena Gonzalez, cochair of the new AFL-CIO task force on AI, said this week that AI was set to become a defining issue for the labor movement, similar to the impact in the 1990s of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which created a free-trade zone in North America and drove major changes in US employment including the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to Mexico. 'We cannot allow AI and technology to be our next NAFTA,' she said on an episode of the podcast 'Power At Work' released Tuesday by the Burnes Center for Social Change at Northeastern University. 'It is up to us to determine what kind of society we want to live in and what kind of regulations we live around that protect us.' President Trump has rolled back AI rules introduced by former president Joe Biden and made clear he wants to give the tech industry and its clients free rein with the technology. The AFL-CIO task force plans to help unions take on problematic use of AI in collective bargaining and contracts and in coming months and develop a slate of model legislation available to state leaders, modeled on recently passed and newly proposed legislation in places including California and Massachusetts. 'As soon as the [federal] moratorium got taken out, there was an urgency of 'How do we prepare other states to move forward,'' Gonzalez told The Washington Post. She is also president of the California Federation of Labor Unions, which supports a proposed state law that would prevent employers from primarily relying on AI software to automate decisions like terminations or disciplinary actions. Instead, humans would have to review decisions. The law would also prohibit use of tools that predict workers' behaviors, emotional states, and personality. Advertisement 'If we don't start thinking about how to protect workers we're going to have a lot of problems,' said Democratic State Senator Jerry McNerney, who introduced the California bill. 'People will be dismissed and demoted from jobs without sufficient cause.' Proposals like McNerney's have met pushback from some tech companies and employers. Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a tech industry trade group, said societal progress often comes from 'worker-replacing technologies' that sometimes lead to the decline of certain jobs such as elevator operator or gas station attendant. 'The AFL-CIO's efforts to limit AI-driven productivity will only lead to slower wage and economic growth,' he said in an emailed statement to The Washington Post. 'Rather than engaging in a Luddite-inspired campaign against a critical new technology, organized labor should push Congress to improve programs for displaced workers.' Seth Harris, who served as Labor secretary under former president Barack Obama and labor adviser to Biden, said despite the considerable unknowns about the effects of AI on jobs, it is reasonable to try to blunt risks to workers. 'This is the critical moment, not only for AI guardrails, but for collective bargaining over AI in workplaces and industries,' said Harris, who is now a senior fellow at the Burnes Center. In Massachusetts, the Teamsters have argued that autonomous vehicles threaten public safety as well as jobs and fought the expansion of Alphabet's robotaxi service, Waymo, into the state. The union declined to comment but cited a July statement by Tom Mari, president of Teamsters Local 25. 'Waymo is steamrolling into cities throughout our country without concern for workers or residents,' his statement said. 'They're doing this because they want to make trillions of dollars by eliminating jobs.' Waymo did not respond to a request for comment. Advertisement Mari's local supports a bill currently in the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Transportation that requires autonomous vehicles to have a human safety operator who can intervene during the ride. 'We can't just be the Wild West where tech companies can experiment on our roads unregulated,' said Massachusetts State Senator Paul Feeney, a Democrat, who introduced the bill to the state Legislature. 'Let's make sure we're introducing commonsense regulations that keep people safe and employed.'

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
CARNEGIE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) reported net sales of $113.1 million and $217.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $111.0 million and $221.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Higher sales of forged engineered products and favorable foreign exchange translation offset weaker mill roll sales. Air and Liquid Processing sales were in line with prior year levels. The Corporation reported a loss from operations of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which included $6.8 million in severance, accelerated depreciation and other costs to exit its U.K. cast roll operations, in anticipation of approval of the exit plan by the UES-UK subsidiary board. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.8 million compared to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, with the U.K. exit costs being the primary change. Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 declined by $2.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to lower margins for the Forged and Cast Engineered Products ('FCEP') segment offset by improved profitability for the Air and Liquid Processing ('ALP') segment. Margins for the FCEP segment were adversely affected by higher manufacturing costs relative to base pricing and variable-index surcharges passed through to customers during the quarter, a weaker sales mix and lower manufacturing cost absorption. Profitability improved for the ALP segment primarily due to a better sales mix. Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 improved by $1.6 million primarily due to improved profitability for the ALP segment. Commenting on the quarter, Ampco-Pittsburgh's CEO, Brett McBrayer, said, 'After a positive Q1, the volatility from the U.S. tariff actions began to impact our results and our order book in Q2. Backlog in the Forged and Cast Engineered Products segment at June 30, 2025 declined 9% from March 31, 2025 as roll customers began a pause of orders to await less uncertainty surrounding tariffs. In response, we reduced roll production. The decision to exit our U.K. cast roll operations was difficult, but the plan is proceeding. Following the exit, we expect earnings to improve by at least $5 million per year. With less uncertainty on trade policy now with the recent E.U. deal, we expect an improved environment in 2026 after our U.K. exit.' Interest expense of $2.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is comparable to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Other (expense) income – net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 declined when compared to other (expense) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange movement. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased when compared to the income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 driven by the benefit of a reduced statutory income tax rate for one of the Corporation's foreign tax-paying entities. Net loss approximated $7.3 million, or $0.36 per share, and $6.2 million, or $0.31 per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and includes the $6.8 million charge, or $0.34 per share, for costs associated with exiting the U.K. cast roll operations and a benefit of approximately $0.7 million, or $0.04 per share, for employee-retention credits, representing refundable employer payroll taxes from the Internal Revenue Service for certain eligible businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This compares to net income of approximately $2.0 million, or $0.10 per share, and a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Teleconference Access Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) will hold a conference call on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) to discuss its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the 'Act') provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on behalf of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, 'we,' 'us,' 'our,' or the 'Corporation'). This press release may include, but is not limited to, statements about operating performance, trends and events we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, statements about sales and production levels, timing of orders for our products, restructurings, the impact from pandemics and geopolitical conflicts, profitability and anticipated expenses, inflation, the global supply chain, tariffs and global trade, future proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants, and cash outflows. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Act and words such as 'may,' 'will,' 'intend,' 'believe,' 'expect,' 'anticipate,' 'estimate, 'project,' 'target,' 'goal,' 'forecast' and other terms of similar meaning that indicate future events and trends are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, are not guarantees of future performance or expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties. For us, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: inability to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations including severance costs associated with our anticipated exit from our operations in the U.K.; economic downturns, cyclical demand for our products and insufficient demand for our products; excess global capacity in the steel industry; inability to successfully restructure our operations, exit our U.K. operations, and/or invest in operations that will yield the best long-term value to our shareholders; liability of our subsidiaries for claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in certain products of our subsidiaries; inability to obtain necessary capital or financing on satisfactory terms to acquire capital expenditures that may be necessary to support our growth strategy; inoperability of certain equipment on which we rely; increases in commodity prices or insufficient hedging against increases in commodity prices, reductions in electricity and natural gas supply or shortages of key production materials for us or our customers; inability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange; potential attacks on information technology infrastructure and other cyber-based business disruptions; fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies; changes in the existing regulatory environment; consequences of pandemics and geopolitical conflicts; work stoppage or another industrial action on the part of any of our unions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal control; changes in the global economic environment, inflation, the ongoing impact of tariffs, elevated interest rates, recessions or prolonged periods of slow economic growth, and global instability and actual and threatened geopolitical conflict; and those discussed more fully elsewhere in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in Part I of the Corporation's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II of the latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. In addition, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or control which may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation, and disclaim any obligation, to update forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The Corporation presents non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net (loss) income excluding interest expense, other income - net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the Corporation's ongoing results of operations, or beyond its control. Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the segment's ongoing results of operations, or beyond its control. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the non-GAAP financial measures were adjusted to exclude severance and other exit costs associated with our anticipated exit from operations in the U.K. and employee-retention credits received in the quarter. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP'). Beginning in 2025, the Corporation began presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA along with non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. These measures are key measures used by the Corporation's management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of the Corporation and its segments. While these non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, the Corporation's management and Board of Directors believe these non-GAAP measures enhance comparability to companies in its stated industry peer group. The Corporation believes these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the items it excludes from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income (loss) from operations. The Corporation also believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, shareholders and investors, and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Corporation's management in its financial and operational decision-making. In particular, the Corporation believes the exclusion of the severance and other exit costs and the employee-retention credits can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Corporation's core business performance. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, rather than net (loss) income, or non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations, rather than (loss) income from operations, which are the nearest GAAP equivalents. Among other things, there can be no assurance that additional expenses similar to the severance and other exit costs or additional benefits similar to the employee-retention credits will not occur in future periods. AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE (in thousands, except percentages) As described under 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' above, the Corporation presents non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations as supplemental financial measures to GAAP financial measures.
