  • Graphon AI

    Participated · Seed · May 2026

    Graphon AI builds a pre-model intelligence software layer that uses mathematical graphon functions to map hidden structural connections across video, audio, documents, and structured databases. Its continuous multimodal graph technology is designed to bypass token limits of legacy context windows and enable third-party foundation models and autonomous agents to reason over large, interconnected multimodal data arrays. The company has launched production deployments with GS Group to automate customer movement mapping in retail environments and provide real-time safety analytics across industrial construction sites. Management and advisors include former AI and robotics researchers from Meta, Amazon, Google, and NASA, and technical guidance from UC Berkeley professors Dr. Christian Borgs and Dr. Jennifer Chayes. Graphon plans to use its seed funding to further develop its relational representation platform, advance its core technology, and scale infrastructure to support enterprise-wide AI agent frameworks.

  • Maximor

    Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

    Maximor is developing a network of autonomous AI agents that connect directly to ERP, CRM, payroll, billing and accounting systems to pull transactions continuously, generate reconciliations, workpapers and audit trails, and provide real-time financial visibility. The platform aims to replace finance teams’ reliance on Excel, although it can still export reconciled data back into spreadsheets for auditors and staff who prefer that format. Early adopter Rently cut its month-end close from eight days to four and avoided two incremental accounting hires while redirecting nearly half of its finance team’s time to strategic work. In addition to software, Maximor offers optional human accountants as reviewers or full-service finance partners, creating a human-in-the-loop safeguard. Founded in the summer of 2024 by former Microsoft executives Ramnandan Krishnamurthy (CEO) and Ajay Krishna Amudan (CTO), the company is headquartered in New York with a Bengaluru office and employs 18 people split between the U.S. and India. Maximor targets mid-market and enterprise customers with at least $50 million in revenue and already serves clients in the U.S., China and India. Its software supports both GAAP and IFRS standards, positioning the startup for globally distributed enterprises.
