Guthrie AI operates a platform that recruits, trains, and places Virtual Bid Assistants who prepare bid information, organize files, and manage vendor quote requests for glazing contractors. The company’s technology layer ingests bid invites, identifies scope, routes work to a client’s VBA, and connects tools like Bluebeam, Outlook, and Excel to reduce manual data transfer. Guthrie AI reports 52 VBAs already placed nationwide, with customers cutting bid turnaround from weeks to days and enabling teams to bid roughly 70% more without adding staff. The founder, Ted Baumgardner, developed the approach after working as a glazing estimator and applying structured analytic techniques from his prior Marine intelligence experience. Guthrie AI plans to use the seed proceeds to expand engineering resources and accelerate growth of its VBA program and integrations.

InstaSwitch builds software that automates the full switching process for business bank accounts, updating income, payroll, and payment instructions and guiding users through remaining steps to turn open accounts into activated primary accounts. The company says income and payment instructions update in under 30 seconds once its platform is deployed. InstaSwitch cites a market gap where roughly 5.4 million U.S. small businesses attempt to switch banks annually but most never complete the move. Early customers include Arc, Relay Financial, and Lettuce Financial; Arc reported activated accounts with operating balances 13.1 times the average, while Lettuce reported thousands of completed migrations and completion rates above 80%. The company was founded by Daniel West and operates from New York with an additional office in Chicago. Its stated plan following the seed raise is to scale partnerships across fintechs, regional banks, and community banks.
