Investment portfolio

  • ODC

    Led · Series A · Mar 2026

    Oran Development Company builds AI-Native Radio Access Network (AI‑RAN) technology and is the architect of the Odyssey RAN software platform. By integrating AI sensing and inference into the RAN, the company aims to enable telecommunications providers to generate new revenue streams and deliver mission‑critical capabilities across industrial, commercial and public sectors. The company is headquartered in New York City. It recently raised $45M in Series A financing from a group of strategic backers. Previous investors include Phoenix Venture Partners and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. The company plans to use the proceeds to expand operations and continue development of its platform.

  • Apptronik

    Participated · Series A · Feb 2026

    Apptronik develops the Apollo humanoid robot and emphasizes human-centered design for collaboration in industries like manufacturing and logistics. The company emerged from the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas at Austin and cites nearly a decade of development experience built on about 15 prior robots, including work tied to NASA’s Valkyrie. Apptronik has roughly 350 employees working on advancing its Apollo platform. Management positions the robot to address labor-intensive tasks and reduce repetitive-motion injuries while improving productivity and safety. The company says Apollo could expand into healthcare, the home, and other markets beyond its initial industrial focus. Recent secondary share activity—an approximately $4.2 million transaction—provided liquidity for existing shareholders and is portrayed as helping bridge development toward mass production.

  • RelationalAI

    Led · Equity · Dec 2025

    RelationalAI develops technology that embeds decision intelligence directly inside the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. By doing so, the company allows enterprise users to query and reason over live data while maintaining security and scalability. The platform targets use cases that leverage artificial intelligence, generative AI, and data-driven decision-making. RelationalAI positions itself as an enterprise SaaS solution focused on compliance and large-scale data workloads. Founder and CEO Molham Aref leads the initiative to integrate tightly with Snowflake’s ecosystem, signaling a go-to-market strategy centered on cloud data partnerships. The company’s recent strategic funding provides additional capital to advance its product development and expand market adoption. Financial details beyond the new capital infusion have not been disclosed.

  • Carbyne

    Participated · Series D · Jul 2025

    Carbyne builds a cloud-native APEX platform that embeds AI into 911 call handling, dispatch, resource coordination, and emergency decision-making. Its AI Suite is integrated across the platform rather than as bolt-on tools, trained on proprietary datasets generated from millions of emergency interactions. Over the past year the company reported triple-digit growth, including +477% year‑over‑year growth in APEX ARR and a +105% increase in APEX platform customers. Carbyne is deployed at nearly 300 sites worldwide across 23 U.S. states and six countries, with more than 7,000 calltakers using its platform. The company processes over 250 million data points annually and reports 99.999% call handling uptime. Carbyne plans to use new capital to expand R&D and engineering, deepen AI capabilities, scale operations globally, and pursue strategic partnerships and integrations. Carbyne provides cloud-native solutions for emergency response centers, enabling emergency contact centers and select enterprises to connect with callers and connected devices via secure channels without requiring a consumer app. Its unified platform delivers live, actionable data—including video, photos, geolocation—and AI-based features to streamline operations and improve transparency. The company offers Carbyne APEX, an i3-compliant unified emergency call management solution that consolidates AI and rich media data for call takers, and Carbyne Universe, an OTT solution that delivers AI-based and rich media functionality without disrupting existing contracts or infrastructure. Carbyne intends to use the new investment to expand operations and development efforts. Led by CEO Amir Elichai and based in New York City, the company is positioning its offerings for resale through AT&T. Carbyne provides cloud-based systems used by emergency services to handle medical, public-safety, transportation and other urgent calls, including its APEX platform used by customers such as the city of New Orleans. Its technology is installed in emergency response services that cover about 400 million people and handles roughly 150 million 911 calls annually, and the company says it is on track to cover 1 billion people by 2024. Carbyne aims to make contact-center workers more effective and less stressed by investing in tools like sentiment analysis and trauma detection and by capturing richer data from callers. The company plans to expand in the U.S., establish a partner program to pursue global opportunities (it does not sell directly), and increase R&D investment. Financially, Carbyne grew revenues 400% in the last year and has raised $56 million in a Series C that values the company around $400 million. The startup was founded in Israel (R&D remains there) and is now headquartered in New York; it is primarily active in the U.S. Carbyne provides a unified, cloud-native platform that enables emergency communication centers, first responders, citizens and governments to share live actionable data to improve operational efficiency and save lives. The company is expanding its cloud-native platform into the emergency health services market and introducing an instantly deployable platform for unified flow between callers, health-related call centers, first responders, nurses and hospitals. Carbyne plans to work with Global Medical Response to develop interactive communication solutions for health and medical sectors and to build new dedicated domestic resources. To scale operations in North America, Carbyne will relocate CTO and co-founder Alex Dizengoff from Tel Aviv to the United States to grow a North American R&D center. Global Medical Response’s COO Edward Van Horne will join Carbyne’s board of directors as part of the collaboration. Financially, the company has raised a total of $73 million since its launch in 2015. Carbyne offers a cloud-based platform for emergency services that surfaces richer caller data (location, video) and enables remote telemedicine to accelerate 911 and EMS responses. Its technology no longer requires users to install an app, having integrated third-party location services to connect callers directly. The company partners with public-health providers and firms such as CentralSquare and Global Medical Response and says it is on target to cover about 90% of the U.S. market. Usage and adoption grew strongly during the pandemic: Carbyne served 250 million people before COVID and now covers roughly 400 million people, launching a new implementation every 10 days since March. In the last nine months it provided about 155 million location points and 1.3 million minutes of video; revenues doubled starting in Q2 and then grew 160% in Q3 and Q4. Carbyne aims to serve some 1.5 billion people by 2023 as it expands its technology and market footprint.

  • Aura

    Participated · Series G · Mar 2025

    Aura delivers a comprehensive online safety solution that bundles device security, fraud and scam detection, identity-theft protection, and child-safety features such as cyber-bullying and predator alerts. The service is orchestrated by Aura Intelligence (AI), enabling personalized, real-time monitoring and automated protection across every family member’s devices.

Following a May 2024 tax-free spinoff from Pango Group, Aura now operates as a standalone company and was most recently valued at $1.6 billion. Headquartered in Boston, the company positions itself as a category leader in family digital wellness. Fresh capital will fund continued R&D and the rollout of additional AI-driven safety features slated for release later in 2025.
