- Aseon Labs
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Aseon Labs develops modular, parking space–sized automated pods designed to inspect, clean, and charge robotaxis to reduce deadhead miles. The units are intended to operate autonomously (with early versions staffed), using cameras, robotic arms, and vision-language-action models to triage issues and decide when to send vehicles to depots. Pods are designed as temporary, relocatable structures that can run on propane generators or connect to existing power/EV charging infrastructure. The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California, and was co-founded by George Kalligeros and Dan Keene, who previously built Pushme, a battery-swap startup acquired in 2020. Aseon’s current team is about six people, and the seed financing will fund five prototypes, team growth to roughly a dozen, and real-estate to pilot a network; it has not yet signed contracts with robotaxi operators but reports broad interest.
- Seven Starling
Participated · Series A · Oct 2025
Founded in 2020 by Harvard Business School classmates Tina Keshani, Julia Cole, and Sophia Richter, Seven Starling delivers technology-enabled maternal mental-health care. Its platform combines clinical evaluations, medication management, and both individual and group therapy to treat depression, anxiety, and related conditions tied to parenthood. All services are covered by insurance, helping patients access support without prohibitive out-of-pocket costs. The company plans to use new capital to expand into a dozen additional states by the end of 2026. Seven Starling’s care model targets postpartum, infertility, miscarriage, and loss, aiming to close gaps in traditional maternal health services. To date, the startup has raised $21.8 million across three rounds, giving it resources to scale its virtual operations and provider network.
- Layer
Participated · Equity · Jun 2025
Layer is a hardware-plus-software startup creating a wall-mounted screen engineered specifically for digital art. The $22,000 canvas contains the computing power (including a GPU) needed to run live, code-based artworks at full resolution without compression, enabling each pixel to be governed directly by the artist’s software. Hundreds of digital artists, such as generative art pioneer Casey Reas, are already partnering with the company, and Layer bundles a subscription that automatically sequences their works on the display. Artists receive royalties based on the amount of time their pieces are shown, reflecting the firm’s stated 'artists-first' philosophy. Founder Angelo Sotira, who previously created DeviantArt, designed the product to be plug-and-play and self-sustaining so collectors can leave it running for years without manual updates. Although positioned as a niche, luxury item rather than a mass-market TV replacement, Layer has attracted early venture backing to fund its ambitions beyond hardware into a broader digital art ecosystem. To date the company has secured $5.7 million in capital but has not yet disclosed revenue or user figures.
