- Greatly Health
Led · Seed · Apr 2026
Greatly Health offers a virtual platform that delivers evidence-based supportive therapies—live expert-led group sessions in exercise, yoga, tai chi, and mindfulness—alongside personalized care planning, symptom tracking, and ongoing coaching. Its program was developed and clinically validated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where a randomized trial led by the company’s co-founders demonstrated substantial improvements in outcomes, including a 16% absolute survival benefit at two years and large reductions in hospitalizations and treatment disruptions. Greatly serves patients directly and via sponsored programs, including a partnership with a global life sciences company and a patient advocacy group supporting roughly 200 metastatic breast cancer patients. The company aims to expand access through partnerships with health plans, oncology providers, and life sciences firms, and to shift integrative oncology from out-of-pocket or philanthropy-funded care to a reimbursed component of standard cancer treatment. Financially, Greatly recently raised a $4 million seed round to support team growth, technology enhancements, and expansion of its clinical offerings.
- Multitude Insights
Participated · Series A · Feb 2026
Multitude Insights is a public-safety technology company focused on fixing fragmented intelligence workflows within law enforcement. Its core product, BLTN (pronounced “bulletin”), is a secure, AI-driven platform that lets agencies publish crime bulletins, surface case connections and distribute critical information nationally in real time. By automating what is now a manual, email-centric process, the software reduces paperwork and speeds cross-jurisdictional collaboration, allowing officers to spend more time in the community. The company is deepening product functionality through a new integration with Mark43’s RMS and by expanding its footprint with a second office in the Pacific Northwest. Multitude Insights was founded by two MIT alumni and is staffed by military veterans and law-enforcement professionals, operating from Boston, MA and Portland, OR. The newly raised $10 million Series A will be used to scale BLTN’s network effect, expand integrations and grow agency adoption across the United States.
- Grid Aero
Participated · Series A · Jan 2026
Founded in 2024, Grid Aero designs and manufactures uncrewed, ultra-simple airframes paired with advanced autonomous systems, enabling thousands of pounds of cargo to be flown thousands of miles from austere or degraded locations. The company’s flagship platform, the Lifter Lite, targets defense ‘contested logistics’ missions but is also attracting commercial and humanitarian interest through partnerships with Everts Air and Aviation Without Borders. By offering scalable, persistent logistics and sensing capabilities at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems, Grid Aero aims to build a smarter, distributed global logistics network. The newly raised capital will transition Lifter Lite from prototype testing to operational deployments and major exercises. Grid Aero emphasizes speed of execution, having built and flown its aircraft in less than 18 months. While specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the company highlights growing demand across defense, remote, and humanitarian sectors. The Series A funding underscores investor confidence in Grid Aero’s ability to rapidly field autonomous airlift solutions.
- Clipbook
Led · Seed · Dec 2025
Founded in 2023, Clipbook provides a vertical AI infrastructure that aggregates data from more than one million news, social-media, and policy sources to give communications and public-affairs professionals context-rich, predictive insights. The platform already serves over 200 enterprises, agencies, and financial institutions, including Weber Shandwick and the Boston Consulting Group. Bootstrapped from launch, the company scaled to several million dollars in annual recurring revenue—described as "seven figures"—before taking any outside funding. Clipbook positions itself as the intelligence layer of the modern professional-services stack, helping teams keep pace with rising information velocity. Its AI synthesizes multimodal content to surface actionable intelligence without latency, enabling more confident, data-driven decision-making. With fresh capital, the company intends to accelerate investments in product development, engineering, and go-to-market expansion to extend its lead in the communications segment.
- Starbridge
Participated · Series A · Oct 2025
Founded in 2024 by Justin Wenig, Starbridge centralizes fragmented public-sector information—such as PDFs, agency websites, meeting minutes, and directories—into a single interface. Its platform ranks government and education accounts by purchase likelihood, flags leadership changes, and highlights new initiatives so sales teams know where and when to engage. Starbridge differentiates itself from incumbents like GovWin and GovSpend by layering AI-driven workflows on top of its datasets, turning raw information into actionable insights inside users’ existing tools. The company’s next product milestone is the launch of a fully integrated experience that pipes Starbridge data directly into CRMs, Slack, and sales sequencers. Wenig previously built and exited Coursedog, giving the team firsthand experience selling into the public sector’s bureaucratic environment. Financially, Starbridge has secured $52 million in venture funding to date, including a recent $42 million Series A. Revenue and user metrics were not disclosed in the article.
