Niural provides an AI-native platform that automates global payroll, benefits, payments, and compliance, serving businesses in more than 150 countries. The company operates regulated financial and compliance infrastructure, including proprietary tax engines and regulated money movement capabilities, and runs payroll and payments globally.

Institutional partnerships include Aetna, Guardian, and Kaiser. Niural also built EMMA, an executional AI coworker, and has launched Niural AI Labs to develop long-horizon, production-grade agents for high-stakes work.

- Brev
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Brev offers AI-powered agents that join meetings, extract information from collaboration and productivity tools (including Slack, Jira, and Salesforce), and track how companies are performing against their goals. The product is designed to monitor action items and follow-through across distributed workflows. The company was co-founded by Chris Pitchford, formerly of Ally, and Vic Hu, a former Meta and Indeed engineer. Brev has roots in the Seattle region. The startup raised $3.3 million in pre-seed funding to support its development; the article does not provide revenue, user metrics, or detailed go-to-market plans. The piece notes context from the founders' background, including Microsoft’s discontinuation of Ally’s successor, Viva Goals, in 2025.
- Mosaic
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Mosaic builds AI-driven video editing agents and a platform called Canvas that aims to enable scalable, customizable video workflow automation. Canvas introduces a non-traditional interface designed for high-volume workflows, supports custom nodes for niche use cases, and integrates with existing media asset managers (MAMs) and non-linear editors (NLEs). The product is already in production with media and news customers and Mosaic highlights partnerships with TubeScience and News Corp; one customer reported tripling vertical video output during a pilot. Mosaic says Canvas can scale to handle volumes such as 8K videos per month and is positioned as infrastructure rather than a chat-based editor. The company plans to use its seed funding to add headcount in San Francisco and continue R&D on multimodal AI and agentic editing.
- BoomPop
Participated · Equity · Nov 2025
BoomPop offers an AI-native event planning platform designed for professional and “accidental” corporate planners. The software ingests real-time data on weather, flight availability, hotel and venue pricing, city-wide events, and historical itineraries to generate curated event options. Once an event is selected, the system automates vendor booking, contract review, website creation, RSVP management, and 24/7 guest support through Slack or text. The company has already facilitated more than 60,000 hotel nights for clients such as Google, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Tesa, Bill.com, Forrester, and Silicon Valley Bank. Founded by Healey Cypher and Blake Hudelson and headquartered in San Francisco, BoomPop is now positioning itself to expand further into the corporate group travel and events market. The newly launched capital will fund continued product development and the rollout of its AI-driven event-planning software.
- Jericho Security
Participated · Series A · May 2025
Jericho Security builds an agentic AI platform that delivers high-fidelity conversational phishing simulations across email, voice and SMS to train employees to detect advanced social-engineering attacks. The company launched a new self-service experience that provides instant access to AI-powered conversational phishing simulations with Stripe-powered checkout, flexible seat management, and three subscription tiers (Jericho Lite, Jericho Plus, Jericho Premium). The platform includes powerful customization, dynamic threat simulations, and deep employee performance analytics; customers can start a 7-day free trial of Jericho Premium with no sales call required. Jericho says the agentic AI mimics real attackers to prepare teams for conversational phishing, real-time SMS scams, and manipulative dialogue-based intrusions. The company plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate go-to-market efforts and R&D and further expand its agentic AI platform. Jericho’s product launch and market position were highlighted at RSA Conference 2025, where it won four Global InfoSec Awards. Jericho Security is a New York-based cybersecurity startup focused on defending enterprises against social engineering phishing attacks using artificial intelligence. The company creates sophisticated simulations and educational content for employees by leveraging advanced language processing, custom privately-hosted language models, and brokered data. Its training is personalized to individual users while providing organizations with team-wide metrics and individualized feedback. Jericho was founded in 2023 by Sage Wohns, Tim Hwang, and Dan Chyan and is currently working with design partners across finance, healthcare, and government sectors. The company raised $3M in pre-seed funding, reflecting its early-stage commercial and product development progress.
