  • UPTIQ

    Participated · Series B · Feb 2026

    Uptiq develops Qore, an AI orchestration platform that bundles document intelligence, financial reasoning skills, multi-agent workflows, and secure integrations into a single, compliance-ready system for regulated financial institutions. Its pre-packaged applications power commercial lending, covenant monitoring, advisor onboarding, compliance documentation, underwriting, and other banking and wealth-management workflows. More than 140 financial institutions—including Focus Financial Partners, Alpha Modus, Orion, Broadridge, Nano Banc, and TransPecos Banks—use Uptiq, and the platform has processed over $1 billion in transactions. Reported customer outcomes include underwriting decisions up to 41 % faster, 29 % lower operational costs, and double the volume of loan applications processed without adding staff. With its new capital, the company will expand Qore into a self-serve platform so internal bank teams and external developers can prototype and deploy financial AI solutions in days. Longer-term, Uptiq intends to foster an ecosystem of SMB and consumer-facing applications built on Qore that come with built-in compliance and risk controls. The company is headquartered in Dallas and led by founder and CEO Snehal Fulzele.

  • Knapsack

    Participated · Series A · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2022, Knapsack offers a unified workspace that eliminates miscommunication between UI designers, product managers, and engineers by automatically propagating design-system updates from Figma into code repositories. Its platform ensures consistent branding—e.g., a button specified at 60 px is enforced everywhere—and is already used by dozens of Fortune 1000 customers. The company is layering on new AI features, including an MCP-based server (using Anthropic’s open-source standard) that lets enterprises build brand-safe AI agents, as well as an upcoming ingestion engine that can create a design system of record in days rather than months. Later this year Knapsack will introduce guided UI exploration tools powered by generative AI. A large pharmaceutical client has cut site-launch times from roughly 15 months to 2–3 months using the product. Knapsack sells on an enterprise-pricing model, currently employs nearly 30 people, and plans to hire 14 more with its new capital. Management ultimately envisions the platform as the backbone for brand-consistent, agentic digital experiences across channels.
