- 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.
- Partcl
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Partcl develops GPU-native chip design systems intended to compress weeks of iteration into seconds.

- Neo Agent
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Neo Agent aims to be the first fully autonomous AI technician for MSPs, designed to work tickets, perform complex analysis, and communicate directly with end users. The product handles triaging, dispatching, running scripts, and can resolve tickets end-to-end without human intervention. It is trained to operate across the full MSP stack, including PSA, RMM, and Microsoft 365. The company reports more than 1 million workflow executions per month, reflecting meaningful operational usage. Neo Agent plans to use the seed funding to accelerate development, hire more people, and deepen its platform capabilities. Founder Nikhil Sehgal publicly announced the raise and credited early MSP customers for feedback and trust.
- Incard
Participated · Series A · Feb 2026
Incard is a London-based financial platform built to replace the patchwork of traditional business banking tools used by fast-growing digital companies. Launched in 2024 by entrepreneurs Theo Cesarini, Soraya Tribouillois, Liam Seskis, and Matteo Martino, the product combines business banking, corporate cards, and connected bank accounts in a single interface. Users can extend functionality through the Incard App Store, adding modules for invoicing, spend management, treasury, working capital, and other industry-specific workflows. The platform provides real-time cash-flow visibility, spend insights, and automation features to help companies manage multi-entity structures, high advertising spend, and foreign-exchange exposure. Adoption has come primarily from high-growth digital firms across the UK and Europe. Looking ahead, Incard intends to enter additional European markets and the United States, while enhancing AI-driven financial workflows and expanding its engineering, compliance, and product teams. The company plans to deepen automation capabilities and widen its app ecosystem to support customers at various stages of growth.
- FALKIN
Participated · Seed · Nov 2025
FALKIN is a London-based digital-safety company that uses artificial intelligence to spot manipulation and deception across messages, sales listings, payment requests, and investment offers before funds move. Its platform analyses behavioural and digital risk signals and can be embedded directly into mobile-banking apps, customer-service portals, and other familiar touchpoints, allowing financial institutions to proactively protect users and cut fraud losses. The tools have already been deployed by bank innovation teams and tens of thousands of consumers in the US and UK; in user feedback, 78 percent reported greater online confidence and more than half valued prevention over reimbursement. By addressing scams at the manipulation stage rather than the payment stage, FALKIN aims to lower incident costs that can exceed four times the amount stolen when remediation is required. The company plans to use its new capital to hire, speed product development, and deepen integrations with financial institutions. It will also launch Safety Labs to give community banks and credit unions an easy way to trial customer-facing scam-prevention tools. FALKIN positions itself as a proactive fraud-risk partner at a time when AI-powered voice cloning, deepfakes, and advanced text generation are driving a surge in sophisticated scams.
