- Attention
Participated · Series B · Jun 2026
Attention builds an AI platform whose agents act inside revenue workflows to draft and send follow-ups, update systems of record, and execute next plays rather than just summarizing interactions. The company is developing an autonomous action engine that surfaces and executes reps’ highest‑impact next moves, then learns from outcomes to improve over time. Attention reports it is running over 20 million agent actions per month and that annual recurring revenue has grown 4x year-over-year, while average contract value has expanded 10x over two years. It serves more than 500 customers, including Abridge, Scale, Lovable, Preply, Engine, and BambooHR. Customers have credited measurable outcomes to the platform, such as Abridge’s 5x coaching efficiency and 4x sales growth, Unify’s 40% win-rate improvement, and Certificial’s reduction in forecasting margin of error from 15% to 5%. Attention was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in New York.
- Theker
Participated · Series A · Jun 2026
Theker develops AI-native generalist robots designed to operate autonomously and adapt in real time to changing industrial environments. Its technology targets industries such as logistics, retail, food and beverage, and waste management and is being deployed to address labour shortages in manufacturing and retail. The company positions its robots as a new category compared with traditional rigid, task-specific industrial robots. Founded in 2022 and based in Barcelona, Theker has raised €18 million in seed funding and an $85 million Series A. The firm plans to use the new capital to accelerate deployments with industrial operators, deepen its proprietary AI and robotics stack, and expand engineering and deployment teams.
- Primepoint
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Primepoint offers a construction intelligence platform built to read, connect, and act on construction drawings, automating workflows such as constructability review, RFI drafting, submittal analysis, and drawing navigation. The platform is powered by proprietary AI with deep construction expertise and is built to meet the security requirements of enterprise construction organizations. Co-founded in 2024 by Lubomir Bourdev, PhD, and Hamid Palo, the company has deployed its solution on projects including an Aeronautical University Campus in Arizona with early partner Sundt Construction. Primepoint is expanding those deployments this year to additional projects including a data center, higher education, and residential construction. Financially, the company completed a $10M seed raise to fund platform expansion and customer growth among large commercial general contractors in the U.S.
- Ridley
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
Ridley offers a step-by-step, AI-driven platform that helps homeowners list, market, and sell properties without paying traditional agent commissions. The Newark, Delaware-based company distributes listings to major home-buying sites, provides on-demand legal support and concierge services, and connects users with Ridley Preferred Agents for expert help. It plans to launch a buy-side experience that grants buyers access to private listings, active for-sale homes, and ‘soon-to-be-listed’ properties surfaced by predictive analytics. Since its July 15 launch, Ridley has generated more than $4.6 billion in lead volume, accumulated over $350 million in private listings, and facilitated 57 home sales that averaged 33 days on market with a 98.3% list-to-sold ratio. These early metrics underscore consumer interest in a commission-free, data-driven model. The new capital positions the startup to deepen its proprietary AI capabilities for both sellers and buyers while expanding its network of commission-free agents. Ridley remains at the seed stage with $6.4 million in total funding raised to date.
