Claryx develops genomic surveillance technology—branded CloneLink—that reads genomes of confirmed patient infections, links related cases into outbreaks, and traces each to likely sources including environmental reservoirs. The platform also builds a digital twin of a hospital from air, water and surface sampling to locate reservoirs of transmission, and Claryx says its proprietary chemistry cuts the most expensive sequencing step by more than twentyfold so continuous running is affordable. The company was founded by Kurt and Dirk Hackenberger and is based in New York, and it is already live across multiple health systems. The team highlights peer-reviewed results from a two-year study at UPMC Presbyterian that found 172 otherwise undetected outbreaks, stopped 96% of traced outbreaks, and estimated avoided infections, deaths and a 3.2-fold return on the program cost. Claryx positions itself as building a "hospital immune system" that detects transmission in real time and confirms when interventions worked. The company announced a $3.5 million pre-seed raise to scale deployments and operations.

CodeIntegrity develops a runtime control layer that acts as a translator and filter to force non-deterministic AI agents to follow strict, predictable rules and to limit which enterprise systems and data an agent can access. The company demonstrated vulnerabilities in agentic models publicly last year, including a rapid compromise of Notion that earned coverage in The Economist. Founders Steven Jung (CEO) and Abi Raghuram (CTO) met at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and founded the company in May 2024 in the Seattle area; they later relocated to San Francisco while keeping employees in Washington state. CodeIntegrity participated in Antler’s New York residency program and is currently piloting its product with companies in regulated industries. The startup has raised a total of $5.25 million to date, including the $5 million seed led by Syn Ventures, and is using capital to expand engineering hires and move toward a broader public rollout. Competitors in the agentic AI security space mentioned alongside CodeIntegrity include Certiv, Raven, and Manifold Security.
