Led · Debt Financing · Aug 2025
Knock offers a tech-enabled service that purchases a customer’s next home on their behalf, allowing them to move in immediately while Knock later lists and sells the old property on the open market. By removing the common timing and financing friction, the company aims to make relocating as simple as trading in a car. Knock is targeting the 64% of U.S. homeowners who must simultaneously buy and sell, providing certainty, convenience and cost efficiency during the transition. Its model eliminates the need for contingent offers and delivers liquidity to sellers up front. The firm positions itself as a full-stack solution, handling purchase, sale and related logistics within one integrated experience. Although specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the company’s recent capital raise suggests continued investment in platform growth and geographic expansion.

Intramotev develops autonomous, zero-emission battery-electric railcars (TugVolt and Revolt) designed to move freight without traditional locomotives.

The company aims to decarbonize and improve asset utilization in the freight supply chain that moves about $690B worth of goods by rail annually in the U.S. Intramotev plans to continue deploying its technology to customers across the U.S. and abroad. The company was founded in 2020 in St. Louis, MO, by Tim Luchini, PhD, Corey Vasel, and Alex Peiffer. It recently closed a $14M Series A to support those deployment plans. Intramotev is developing autonomous, zero-emission rail vehicles and rail-autonomy software aimed at transforming freight movement. The company is building a commercial demonstration vehicle and proprietary autonomy software to reduce reliance on diesel locomotives and improve asset utilization. Its technology targets traditional freight rail as well as applications in mining, ports, and intermodal freight movement. Intramotev says its solutions will help decarbonize the supply chain and address capacity constraints in existing freight infrastructure. Founded in 2020 in Saint Louis, MO, by Tim Luchini, Corey Vasel, and Alex Peiffer, the company emphasizes reducing diesel use for the roughly $690B of goods moved by rail annually in the U.S. Idealab NY incubated Intramotev and the company cites potential to lessen the roughly 37 million metric tons of greenhouse gases locomotives emit annually.
