  • Kanurra

    Participated · Equity · Jul 2026

    Kanurra is building routing and administrative infrastructure aimed at reducing drug costs for small and midsize employers. The company was founded by Semih Gultekin after he left Aviary Health. Kanurra has attracted early demand from brokers, third-party administrators and captives and says its first customers are ready to start on the platform. It is hiring for a pharmacist to lead clinical work, operators for implementation and service, sales and go-to-market staff, and engineers. Financially, the company has raised $6.35 million in its announced seed financing to fund product development and hiring. The articles do not report revenue, user counts, or prior funding rounds.

  • Sandstone

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2026

    Sandstone focuses on the needs of in-house legal departments at small and mid-sized businesses, offering a platform that aggregates work from intake channels like Slack, email, and Jira and uses AI to route and triage requests. Users can build custom workflows on the platform to execute tasks such as drafting, reviewing, and providing legal analysis. The company's approach emphasizes relationship management and workflow automation tailored to the specific demands of in-house legal work rather than general legal reasoning systems. Sandstone positions itself as a vertical, specialized AI provider for legal teams and faces competition from both legal-focused startups and larger AI labs expanding into legal tools. The company recently raised a $10 million seed round in January and followed with a $30 million Series A led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, bringing disclosed funding to $40 million.

  • Calibre

    Participated · Seed · Apr 2026

    Calibre offers a clinician-led service that connects medical history, daily behaviours and environmental context with diagnostics and causal AI to identify drivers of an individual's health and provide personalised plans. It launches a new category it calls Causal Health Navigation and is positioning itself as a proactive health partner available from £69 a month. The company emerged from stealth and has opened a waitlist for its initial rollout. Clinical services are currently provided through partner DocTap, and Calibre has submitted its own CQC application to deliver care directly. Founders include Alexander Weber (formerly early team and Chief Growth Officer at N26), Ben Levy (experienced software and healthtech executive), and Dr Reinhold Innerhofer (medical doctor and sports scientist). Calibre raised $3.3M in pre-seed funding to support its launch and growth.

  • Barnwell Bio

    Participated · Seed · Jan 2026

    Barnwell Bio delivers a metagenomic biosurveillance platform that captures the entire microbial fingerprint of poultry barns, turning hundreds of thousands of data points into actionable dashboards for veterinarians and producers. By identifying pathogen spikes before clinical symptoms appear, the system lets managers shift from reactive treatment to proactive flock management. The New York–headquartered startup was founded by the team that built the U.S. COVID-19 wastewater monitoring infrastructure and is already working with partners such as Mississippi State University, West Liberty Foods, and Vital Farms. Rising USDA/FDA pressure to reduce routine antibiotics and costly outbreaks like Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza position Barnwell’s data layer as a must-have for the $315 billion global poultry market. The company plans to use newly raised funds to expand throughout the Midwest and Southeast poultry belt and to strengthen its proprietary insights engine. Significant investment will go toward hiring bioinformatics, data science, and AI/ML talent to deepen predictive capabilities. No revenue or user numbers have been disclosed.

  • Sunflower Labs

    Participated · Series B · Nov 2025

    Sunflower Labs builds autonomous security solutions that combine precision hardware with intelligent software. Its flagship Beehive system deploys an autonomous drone to patrol residential estates, commercial campuses, and critical industrial sites, delivering continuous protection without the cost of traditional guards. The company recently secured nationwide FAA approval to fly its drones beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), significantly expanding operational reach. Sunflower Labs also launched an interactive property configuration tool to help customers design and price installations. Backed by a new $16 million Series B round, the firm plans to accelerate AI development, broaden deployments across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, and deepen integrations with Alarm.com’s dealer network. Headquartered in San Carlos, CA, the company is supported by a mix of strategic and financial investors, including Alarm.com and several prominent venture funds.
