• Queen One

  Participated · Equity · Aug 2026

  Founded in 2022 by CEO Ryan Urban, COO Maricor Resente and Head of Marketing Megan Kresinske, Queen One builds AI-driven software that analyzes shopper behavior to personalize timing, frequency and content of marketing across channels. The platform targets consumer brands—primarily apparel, retail, beauty and home—and the company says it can serve any brand with more than $500,000 in commerce. Queen One reports that its technology has doubled email-generated revenue for some early customers, though it did not disclose customer names or overall revenue. The company employs just under 100 people and has assembled commerce executives and technologists, including veterans from Wunderkind; it raised $5.5 million in early 2025 and has roughly $37.5 million in committed capital, financing and incentives. Queen One has pledged major expansion in Brooklyn—a 30,000-square-foot headquarters backed by up to $6 million in state tax credits and commitments to create 600 jobs by 2030—and says it plans to go public in 2028 under the ticker HEXY.

Sent reports 99.9% uptime, routing decisions made in real time with end-to-end delivery typically under 200ms, and customers cutting messaging costs 70–80% versus SMS-only approaches.

Sent positions itself as infrastructure for an agentic messaging era as AI agents increasingly initiate business-to-consumer conversations and lists customers who have migrated from incumbents like Twilio to its platform.

Koffie integrates safety technology into pricing, loss control and underwriting to address an insurance class plagued by sustained losses and inadequate underwriting. It aims to align incentives across fleets, brokers and the trucking ecosystem and to prepare for emerging risks such as self‑driving vehicles. The company emphasizes improving margins for the safest fleets while reducing preventable truck crashes and driving digital transformation in transportation.
