- InstaSwitch
Participated · Seed · May 2026
InstaSwitch builds software that automates the full switching process for business bank accounts, updating income, payroll, and payment instructions and guiding users through remaining steps to turn open accounts into activated primary accounts. The company says income and payment instructions update in under 30 seconds once its platform is deployed. InstaSwitch cites a market gap where roughly 5.4 million U.S. small businesses attempt to switch banks annually but most never complete the move. Early customers include Arc, Relay Financial, and Lettuce Financial; Arc reported activated accounts with operating balances 13.1 times the average, while Lettuce reported thousands of completed migrations and completion rates above 80%. The company was founded by Daniel West and operates from New York with an additional office in Chicago. Its stated plan following the seed raise is to scale partnerships across fintechs, regional banks, and community banks.
- Superpanel
Participated · Seed · Sep 2025
Founded in 2024 by Julien Emery and Dingyu Zhang, Superpanel offers law firms an AI-driven "digital teammate" that manages roughly half of the administrative work involved in onboarding new clients. The system engages potential plaintiffs across phone, text, email, and online forms, guiding them through storytelling and document collection while automatically classifying case type, jurisdiction, and required paperwork. When ambiguity arises, the workflow escalates to a human staff member, giving firms a unified, multi-channel process that mirrors a full-time employee. Emery, a former Hootsuite executive who previously exited his startup Allay to Novo Benefits, built Superpanel after experiencing the high cost and complexity of finding legal help. The company plans to deepen its capabilities specifically for plaintiff-side practices and continue hiring to support product expansion. Competitors in the rapidly evolving legal-tech landscape include Clio Grow, LegalClerk.ai, MyCase, and Whippy.ai. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
- Honey Health
Participated · Seed · Sep 2025
Honey Health embeds specialized AI agent teams into provider systems, including most EHRs, to autonomously complete complex administrative workflows without manual handoffs or separate interfaces. Its agents automate high-volume tasks such as data fetching, note preparation, orders and refills, fax triage, and prior authorizations. The company uses a proprietary Loop framework and Hive protocol to onboard quickly to EHRs and understand each organization's workflows. Launched in December, Honey is already working with over 100 organizations and has helped them save millions in administrative costs. Customers report $50,000–$66,000 in annual profit gains per provider driven by reduced reliance on offshore labor and fewer backfills for high-turnover roles. Honey was founded by Matt Faustman and Xiao Zhang, former LinkedIn AI, product, and engineering leaders, who cite personal experiences with chronic disease motivating the product.
- Impart Security
Participated · Series A · Jun 2025
Impart Security offers an Application Detection and Response Engineering Platform that uses AI agents and programmable WebAssembly (WASM) isolation to design, test, and deploy security rules safely in production. The platform runs coordinated AI agents (Traffic Inspector, Detection Engineer, Security Architect, Rule Engineer) to inspect traffic, spot anomalies, develop and test rules, and adapt defenses in real time. Early deployments have generated over 2,400 security rules, cut average deployment time from 18 days to 45 minutes, and maintained 99.97% uptime while preventing dozens of attack patterns in customer environments. Impart says its WASM-based sandboxes provide secure isolation and high performance, enabling autonomous production changes that customers trust. The company serves major enterprises, including a large financial services firm and a global entertainment conglomerate, and is led by security veterans from major technology companies. Following its Series A, Impart plans to expand into financial services, healthcare, and infrastructure providers and to launch partnerships with major cloud platforms and channel partners. Impart Security builds API security tools that detect threats and vulnerabilities across any API tech stack and resolve them automatically without human intervention. The platform emphasizes monitoring and observability and offers out-of-the-box remediation to avoid noisy alerts that overwhelm security teams. The company was founded by several former Signal Sciences colleagues and is led by CEO and cofounder Jonathan DiVincenzo. Signal Sciences was sold to Fastly for $775 million in 2020, and Impart's team leverages that prior experience in web application and API security. Impart is currently in closed beta with select commerce and enterprise customers and, based on beta feedback, plans a commercial launch in the fourth quarter of 2022. The company announced a $6 million seed round led by CRV with participation from Haystack, 8-bit Capital and O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures.
- Agree
Participated · Seed · May 2025
Agree.com embeds invoicing and payment processing into its AI-powered e-signature platform, using OCR plus AI to auto-detect and label contract fields, signature blocks, and payment terms. The company makes e-signatures free to users and monetizes via transaction fees on money movement, plus a premium per-seat SaaS tier for larger teams. Agree launched in early September 2024 and has grown quickly to over 25,000 users after hitting 10,000 in its first three months and 20,000 seven weeks later; customers include beehiiv, Product Hunt, Rho, TaxGPT, Brico, and Thoropass. Founded in February 2024, the startup has seven employees and a founding team with multiple prior exits. Management emphasizes combining signing, collaboration, editable contracts, and payments in one workflow to displace incumbents. The company plans international expansion later this year, starting with the U.K., Canada, and Australia. Agree provides an all-in-one agreements platform that leverages generative AI and optical character recognition to combine contract drafting, e-signatures, invoicing, and payments. The platform enables users to receive payments via ACH, credit card, or wire and to sync transactions with major accounting software. Agree launched a beta earlier this year and has been working with early-stage founders and venture capital firms to facilitate SAFE contracts. The company plans to offer its e-signature feature to all consumers for free and to introduce an enterprise offering with accounts receivable automation, ERP and CRM integrations, and an API by the end of the year. Agree was founded by Marty Ringlein and Will Hubbard, two former founders and early-stage investors with product and engineering backgrounds. The company announced a $3M pre-seed raise to expand features and grow its engineering and product teams.
