- Xpander
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Xpander provides a universal, cloud-agnostic platform and runtime that lets enterprises build, run, and manage agentic AI applications within their own environments while centrally governing lifecycle and security. Its flagship agent, Omni, is positioned as an agentic Forward Deployed Engineer and scored 90.9% on the GAIA benchmark. The platform is available across major clouds and models and is already used by customers in retail, manufacturing, financial services, technology, and government. Xpander is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Founded in 2024 by former AWS principal engineers David Twizer, Moriel Pahima, and Ran Sheinberg and headquartered in San Francisco, the company plans to use its recent Seed funding to accelerate market penetration.
- Rig
Participated · Seed · Jul 2026
Rig provides a secure, organized “traffic controller” layer between AI tools and companies' internal databases, enforcing rules, hiding sensitive customer data, and preventing costly AI mistakes. Its platform gives AI systems constraints and oversight so outputs can be trusted when accessing internal data. The company was founded by Toby Mather and Jacob Langr and is based in London. Rig raised a $2.8M pre-seed round from a mix of venture and angel investors. The founders have emphasized keeping the team small and efficient while building amid rapid changes in AI technology.

- Stigg
Participated · Series A · Dec 2024
Stigg provides a scalable monetization platform for the modern billing stack, enabling SaaS companies to model pricing, create pricing pages, manage customers, and change feature and usage allotments. The product includes an SDK available in most popular languages and a management console designed to let go-to-market teams update pricing and packaging without heavy developer involvement. Founders Dor Sasson and Anton Zagrebelny built the company after confronting the difficulty of moving to usage- and consumption-based pricing while at New Relic. Stigg positions itself to help companies adopt AI-driven consumption and outcome-based pricing as AI features prompt firms to revisit pricing models. Customers named in the article include AI21labs, Cloudinary, PagerDuty, Miro, and Webflow. Financially, Stigg raised a $6.4M seed round in 2021 (announced in 2022) and has now closed a $17.5M Series A. Stigg provides a platform and no-code tooling that frees developers from building and maintaining SaaS pricing and packaging infrastructure while enabling product and growth teams to ship and iterate on pricing plans. The company’s offering lets customers test pricing and packaging strategies, move to self-serve flows, and support usage-based pricing with a single integration. Stigg emphasizes developer-first primitives so engineering teams can avoid costly re-architecture when changing monetization approaches. The founders, Dor Sasson (CEO) and Anton Zagrebelny (CTO), previously worked at New Relic and built the product based on that operational experience. Stigg says its no-code product was made available today to let non-engineering teams run experiments rapidly. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.

- Xpand
Participated · Series A · Sep 2022
Xpand develops modular, unmanned "store-in-a-box" units that combine robotics, computer vision, and real-time inventory management to deliver frictionless, personalized shopping. The units are designed to operate 24/7 without staff and to be plug-and-play for retailers. Founded in 2021 by Eyal Yair and Roee Tuval and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Xpand was rebranded from 1MRobotics as it moved from R&D to commercial deployment. The company plans to use new funding to launch its first smart autonomous store in Vienna and to accelerate rollouts across Europe and North America. Proceeds will also fund expansion of its sales, marketing, and technology teams as the company moves toward global execution. Xpand’s leadership includes operators with experience at Trax Retail, SAP, Retalix, Bringg, and Magic Leap. 1MRobotics builds small, automated "nano-fulfillment" centers that use fleets of robots to pack orders in compact local warehouses. Its platform leverages AI to learn supply and demand patterns and optimize stocked goods, and the company says installations can be placed nearly anywhere with minimal maintenance. The startup launched out of stealth and has early collaborations with brands including Nespresso, AB InBev and REEF Technology. Co‑founded by CEO Eyal Yair and Roee Tuval, 1MRobotics aims to enable a hyperlocal, fully automated fulfillment network to reduce costs and environmental impact compared with manual dark stores. The company positions its technology as significantly more efficient than many competitors, which include Fabric, Attabotics, Nimble Robotics, AutoStore, Ocado Group and Noyes Technologies. Financially, 1MRobotics has raised $16.5M in a Series A and previously raised an $8.5M seed, bringing total funding to $25M.
