  • Zócalo Health

    Participated · Series A · Apr 2026

    Zócalo Health organizes care around community health workers (promotoras de salud) embedded in communities and integrates those teams with primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, and care coordinators to drive sustained engagement for high-need members. Its model emphasizes proactive outreach, frequent touchpoints, and trust-based relationships to improve retention, reduce avoidable utilization, and address medical, behavioral, and social needs together. The company pairs its community workforce with a technology platform that leverages AI to extend frontline capacity, help members navigate coverage and eligibility, and support care coordination. Zócalo partners with Medicaid managed care organizations, including Anthem Blue Cross and Health Net, and aligns with state initiatives such as CalAIM in California. Operationally, the company reported roughly 4x year-over-year revenue growth and expanded from two health plan partnerships in 2024 to more than a dozen in 2025, while maintaining high member retention and patient satisfaction that exceed industry benchmarks. Zócalo plans to use new capital to scale geographically and grow its community-based teams. The company is based in Kenmore, Wash.

  • Automotus

    Participated · Equity · Dec 2025

    Founded in 2017, Automotus has built a computer-vision platform that lets municipalities and airports track curb activity, generate data analytics, and automate payments for commercial vehicles, ride-hail drivers, and delivery fleets. The system, already deployed in dozens of U.S. markets, supplies real-time insights that cities have used to redesign parking policies, as demonstrated by a deployment in Lincoln, Nebraska. By addressing the surge in ride-hailing and e-commerce deliveries, the company aims to make streets safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. Automotus’ business model centers on selling its software and camera hardware to public-sector agencies managing increasingly congested curb space. The company plans to use its newest capital to deepen product capabilities, expand into additional markets, and bolster customer support. Including the latest equity infusion, Automotus has raised $26 million in equity funding to date, alongside the newly secured credit line.

  • Madison AI

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

    Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Madison AI builds a purpose-built artificial intelligence platform for local governments. Its core product is a chatbot research assistant that can search and analyze policy documents, municipal codes, voting records and other public-sector data, as well as generate staff reports and automate day-to-day tasks. The company grew out of a public-private partnership between Washoe County and planning firm OnStrategy, with Washoe County officials participating in product co-development. Before its seed financing, Madison AI had secured more than 50 customer deployments, including Addison (TX), the Santa Clara Valley Water Authority (CA), the City of Fresno (CA) and Las Vegas (NV). With the new capital, Madison AI plans to expand its product features, strengthen its data infrastructure, build additional AI assistants and scale its overall platform and team. The company highlights a board and advisory roster that includes government-technology veterans Tom Spengler and Javier Muniz.

  • TrackLight

    Led · Seed · Jun 2024

    TrackLight builds an AI-assisted platform designed to identify and prevent fraud before payments are issued for government and corporate programs. The TrackLight Suite includes Due Diligence, Social Network Analysis, Fraud Analytics, Case Management, and an AI co-pilot called Ray the Parrot. The company leverages specialized machine-learning models, a library of over 3,000 fraud schemes, and the ability to scan over 1 billion open-source intelligence records. TrackLight ran $1.1 billion of government awards through its system and initially flagged high-probability fraud in 10.4% of payments. After operating in stealth for a year and onboarding a cohort of beta customers, TrackLight was accepted into NVIDIA’s Inception Program and received a $100,000 grant to test its models. The company has made several senior hires and plans to use new funding to accelerate platform development, sales, and marketing.
