  • KOHO Financial

    Participated · Series E · Jun 2026

    KOHO is an online challenger bank that offers consumer financial services and is pursuing a Schedule 1 federally regulated bank licence. Achieving the licence would allow KOHO to hold customer deposits, which management says would provide a significantly cheaper source of funding. The company has been raising equity over time and has totaled $507 million in equity capital to date, including a $40 million equity raise in 2024. The recent $130 million financing increased KOHO’s valuation to $1.33 billion. KOHO intends to use the proceeds to build its capital base and expand its product suite to meet regulatory requirements and support growth. Management has positioned the fundraising as the final piece needed to satisfy conditions for operating as a federally regulated bank.

  • Fixated

    Led · Equity · Dec 2025

    Fixated positions itself as a next-generation creator representation and monetization company that treats influencers like scalable businesses. The firm combines talent management, content development, production, audience growth, IP expansion, and brand partnerships under one roof to create vertically integrated creator empires. Its in-house studio and 25,000-plus clipping and distribution network enable rapid content amplification that drives viral reach and strong ROI for both creators and brands. The company plans to use fresh capital to accelerate M&A across talent representation, content, distribution, and creator infrastructure while recruiting senior creative, operational, and technical leaders. Founders Zach Katz (CEO) and Jason Wilhelm (President) believe legacy entertainment models are obsolete and are building Fixated as the definitive growth engine for the creator economy. The strategy is to co-create culturally relevant IP with top YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok talent, establishing Fixated as the connective tissue between creators, platforms, and brands.

  • Gopuff

    Led · Equity · Nov 2025

    Founded in 2013, Gopuff operates a vertically integrated network of micro-fulfillment centers across the U.S. and U.K., using proprietary technology and a hyper-local logistics system to enable truly instant delivery at scale. The service offers over 5,000 SKUs, ranging from fresh groceries to household essentials, and has built the largest instant-fulfillment network in both countries. Recent initiatives include AI-powered tools that speed deliveries and personalize the shopping experience, expansion of fresh grocery selection, nationwide acceptance of SNAP EBT payments, and rapid growth of its Gopuff FAM membership program. Strategic partnerships with brands such as Starbucks, Disney, Amazon, and Tom Brady underscore its platform’s reach. The company reports record revenue and contribution profit, reflecting its strongest financial performance to date. Leadership has been bolstered by the hiring of Matt McBrady as CFO, an executive with IPO experience at Axon and aQuantive. Looking ahead, Gopuff plans to use new capital to deepen AI capabilities, enhance consumer experience, and expand infrastructure to serve growing demand for speed and convenience.

  • Metropolis

    Participated · Series D · Nov 2025

    Los Angeles–based Metropolis has built an AI and computer-vision platform that recognizes people and vehicles in real time, enabling checkout-free payments and personalized experiences across parking, retail, hospitality, mobility and fueling locations. The company processes more than $5 billion in annual transactions for 50 million customers and has nearly 20 million registered Members, with more than one million new Members joining each month. Its network spans over 4,200 locations in 40 countries and, following the 2024 take-private of SP+ and the 2025 purchase of biometrics firm Oosto, Metropolis is now the largest parking network in the United States. The platform underpins what the company calls the “Recognition Economy,” replacing friction with presence-based recognition to streamline real-world commerce. Current expansion efforts target quick-service restaurants, refueling stations, hotels, stadiums and other high-traffic venues. Management positions the company as one of the fastest-growing tech firms in the U.S., supported by deep partnerships with retailers, asset owners and real-estate operators. The newly raised capital will fund further product development, geographic expansion and additional vertical integrations.

  • CoreWeave

    Participated · Debt Financing · May 2024

    CoreWeave operates an AI cloud platform providing high-performance, GPU-backed computing infrastructure to enterprise customers. The company is rapidly expanding its infrastructure footprint to meet accelerating demand for AI compute and has secured significant capital commitments to support that growth. Most recently it closed an $8.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility that is investment-grade rated and improves its cost of capital. CoreWeave reported roughly $28 billion in combined equity and debt financing commitments over the past year, reflecting strong institutional interest. The company plans to use the new financing to fulfill previously contracted cloud services and continue scaling its AI infrastructure.
