  Participated · Seed · Mar 2024

  mmERCH builds blockchain-enabled, generative-design fashion collections of singular, one-of-a-kind garments it calls “neo-couture,” each paired with a digital twin on the blockchain. The company leverages AI and generative algorithms to produce unique physical items accompanied by non-fungible digital counterparts that verify authenticity and scarcity. Revealed in late 2023 by Founder and CEO Colby Mugrabi, mmERCH is supported by a team of founders, creators, collectors, curators, artists, academics, and authors. The brand targets a community at the intersection of art, fashion, and technology and plans to launch its inaugural collection in April 2024. mmERCH raised a $6.4 million seed round at a $25.7 million post-money valuation to expand operations. Proceeds will be used to build a proprietary technology stack, grow the engineering team, and fund subsequent collections.

• Doppel

  Participated · Seed · May 2022

  Doppel offers a social engineering defense (SED) platform that leverages agentic AI and a real-time threat graph to spot impersonation, phishing, fraud, and other attacks across social media, messaging apps, paid ads, and the dark web. Its Digital Risk Protection suite unifies threat alerts and automates attacker-infrastructure takedowns, while its Human Risk Management products provide deepfake-driven simulations and security-awareness training. Since launching its Simulation product in August, that module already represents a material share of Q3 bookings, signaling strong early demand. The company reports 3× year-over-year ARR growth and a more than 5× increase in Fortune 500 customers, now serving over 200 organizations including Coinbase, Ramp, Commerce, and Orrick. Doppel has doubled its headcount over the past year and continues to hire aggressively as it expands internationally. A collaboration with OpenAI has enabled the firm to fine-tune models that autonomously detect and neutralize complex social-engineering threats in real time. Following its latest $70 million Series C round, Doppel has raised $124 million to date at a valuation exceeding $600 million.
