Collide just pulled off a $5M seed raise and yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.

From Mercury Ventures to some serious oil and gas backers, the investment is rolling in. We unpack what this means for automation, the inefficiencies AI might finally kill off, and all the juicy stuff, OPEC updates, oil price predictions, tariffs, geopolitics, and where U.S. production could be headed.
