• Haladir (YC W26)

  Participated · Seed · Apr 2026

  Haladir is the operational AI layer for logistics. We unify data across WMS, TMS, OMS, etc., deploy event-driven agents with execution authority, embed solver-grade optimization into 3PL and distributor operations, and produce RL environments for frontier AI labs. We help logistics operators embed observed AI at every level of the supply chain, helping make insights and deliver results. Today's AI brought intelligence. The next frontier is judgement. We define operational superintelligence as AI that consistently makes maximally-optimal operational decisions in complex environments. The first component is speed: continuous decisions that take operations managers and OR analysts weeks to make, in seconds. The second is reliability: every decision is guaranteed to satisfy operational constraints. The third is scope: optimize across thousands of constraints no human or team could possibly reason about.

• Cascade Space

  Participated · Seed · Jul 2025

  Cascade Space is building the Cascade Portal, an end-to-end platform for satellite communication system design, test, and operations. The company recently open-sourced spacelink, a Python library with functions for communication system analysis used in the Portal. Cascade says the tools are intended to accelerate communication system design and reduce a major bottleneck for companies operating in lunar and deep space. The team includes veteran space engineers from SpaceX and Astra. The company will use the funding to accelerate development of its platform and related infrastructure. Cascade Space was founded in 2025 and is based in San Francisco.

• CENTRI

  Participated · Series C · Oct 2013

  Centri Technology is a Seattle-based provider of mobile bandwidth optimization and bandwidth management solutions for mobile network operators. Its flagship product, BitSmartCX, uses patented optimization techniques and byte-level caching to dynamically reduce the amount of data transmitted across the network between devices, the radio network backhaul, and the network core. BitSmartCX can be deployed at network aggregation points, within radio base stations, or on endpoint devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart meters, point-of-sale kiosks, and automobiles. Centri says its solutions help operators intelligently optimize and manage the flow of data in real time, reducing the need to invest in additional network infrastructure and lowering backhaul, spectrum and transport costs. The company completed a $13M Series C financing and intends to use the funds to accelerate global deployment of BitSmartCX and to grow product development, support and sales teams. Centri is led by founder and CEO Vaughan Emery. Centri Technology builds BitSmart, a platform that accelerates mobile data delivery while adding security layers and policy controls for connected devices. The technology targets mobile operators and enterprises, enabling faster data speeds across various devices and allowing implementation of mobile usage policies. Use cases cited include healthcare, where Centri can restrict device access to unapproved content to help meet HIPAA compliance. The company was founded in 2009 and is led by entrepreneur Vaughan Emery; it employs 20 people. Centri recently raised $4.5 million in fresh funding and plans to use the proceeds for product development, strategic partnerships, and hiring. The company previously raised $1.6 million from members of the Alliance of Angels last year. Centri builds technology designed to boost the performance of wireless networks and lower carriers' costs. The company, based in Pioneer Square, plans to launch its technology next week. Centri raised $1.6 million in funding to support its launch. Founder Vaughan Emery previously founded mForce Mobile and served as CEO of Flytrap Security. The engineering team is led by Mike Mackey, a former engineering director at Nuance Communications and Amdocs. Company directors include Dan Rosen, Merril Dean, Eric Kolstad, Wayne Wisehart, Rob Strickland and Christopher Oates.
