- Canyon Code
Led · Seed · May 2026
Canyon Code provides an enterprise-grade orchestration layer that sits above the model serving layer to monitor and manage multi-agent AI applications. Its core technology includes a dependence graph that tracks interactions and dependencies among agents, enabling real-time visibility into agent progress and behavior. The platform also manages contextual memory to ensure agents have needed information without bloating prompts and driving up costs. Using these insights, customers can orchestrate and schedule model calls for lower latency and greater efficiency, and set per-app or per-persona policies for trade-offs like latency, accuracy, and cost. Co-founder and CEO Ravikiran Gopalan is a three-time founder and the other co-founder, Aditya Akella, is a researcher with publications in machine learning and operating systems. Financially, the company has just completed a $5M pre-seed round led by Cota Capital with participation from Newbuild Ventures and Blackhorn Ventures.

Farther reported recruited assets of about $23 billion, encompassing both assets under management and expected assets from advisors transitioning to the platform. Since founding the company has raised over $272 million in total funding. The firm plans to use its Series D proceeds to scale platform capabilities, accelerate growth, and continue innovation to support advisors and clients. In 2025 Farther was recognized on the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists and is a top recruiter in the RIA space.
- Kilo Code
Led · Seed · Dec 2025
Kilo Code is an all-in-one, open-source coding agent services provider focused on accelerating software development workflows. Co-founded by Scott Breitenother (founder of Brooklyn Data) and Sid Sijbrandij, the company positions its platform as an "agentic" companion that works alongside engineers rather than against them. Its primary value proposition is delivering “Kilo Speed,” enabling developers to automate and streamline repetitive tasks in the software-build process. The platform is built around open-source principles, encouraging community contributions and transparency. With fresh seed capital, Kilo Code plans to scale its operations and ramp up product development efforts. Although specific user or revenue metrics were not disclosed, the $8 million injection signals early investor confidence in the company’s technology and market potential.
- Movandi
Participated · Equity · Oct 2025
Movandi is a connectivity‐focused semiconductor and systems company whose portfolio spans RF chipsets, beamforming silicon, phased-array antennas, and software-defined networking. Its technology underpins high-throughput, low-power, and intelligently steered wireless links for 5G networks, fixed wireless access, and non-terrestrial (LEO satellite) communications. With more than 115 issued patents, the firm has already deployed mmWave solutions that improve the economics and performance of commercial 5G roll-outs. The company now aims to translate this edge into satellite broadband and hybrid fixed-wireless deployments, addressing range, cost and latency constraints faced by operators. Future plans include opening an Oman office to tap regional talent and co-develop solutions aligned with Oman’s Vision 2040 initiative. Headquartered in Irvine, California, Movandi positions itself as a bridge between Silicon Valley innovation and Middle-East market expansion. The latest capital injection strengthens its ability to scale production, broaden its product roadmap, and pursue global market entry opportunities.
