- Higgsfield
Participated · Series B · Aug 2026
Higgsfield builds an AI-driven platform for generating and iterating short-form video, emphasizing workflows that let users repeatedly rework clips rather than producing one finished asset. The company publicly launched in 2025 and has grown to more than 15 million users across 240 countries. Its business has shifted toward enterprise marketing customers, which now comprise the majority of revenue after moving from under a quarter earlier in 2025. Higgsfield reported annualised revenue of $500 million, up from roughly $200 million at the end of 2025. The team was founded in 2023 by Alex Mashrabov—who previously sold AI Factory to Snap and led generative AI there—alongside CTO Yerzat Dulat and co-founder Mahi de Silva. Management says future investment will prioritize enterprise product development, security, and scaling compute capacity to meet video-generation demand.

- Lyzr AI
Participated · Series A · Oct 2025
Lyzr AI builds AI agents for enterprise use and operates an internal agent called SivaClaw that can engage investors, draft memos, and analyze slide engagement. The company used SivaClaw to run its own capital raise, demonstrating the product by fielding questions from over 130 investors during the process. That fundraising effort resulted in a $100 million Series B at an estimated $500 million valuation and reportedly generated about $400 million in investor interest. Lyzr is roughly three years old and located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
