Adam Jacob, creator of Chef and Infrastructure as Code, announced Swamp Club raised a $7M seed from Amplify Partners, Encoded Ventures, Jesse Robbins and others. Investor dhaliwas notes it's the first founder he's backed across three companies. Swamp builds AI systems from repeatable behaviors rather than token-hungry agent-centric designs, betting the future is deterministic software and probabilistic models working natively together.
