- Kita
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Kita offers an AI Credit Officer that communicates with borrowers via SMS, WhatsApp and email, a document-reading product (Kita Capture) that extracts data from more than 50 types of financial, legal and identity documents, and an AI Underwriter that applies lender credit policies and produces credit memos for human review. The company says these combined workflows can reduce processes that once took days or months to under 60 seconds and that its platform has processed over $130 million in loan volume. Kita's technology is used by lenders in the Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States, targeting consumer, microfinance and SME lending. Built by a team from Stanford with backgrounds at Apple, Tesla and Microsoft, Kita was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch and is based in San Francisco. The company positions its AI to handle repetitive tasks while leaving final lending decisions to human credit officers.

- The Librarian
Led · Seed · Nov 2025
The Librarian provides a conversational AI assistant that feels like texting a real person and begins working as soon as a user connects a Google account. Unlike voice assistants limited to their own ecosystems, the product executes actions across platforms—on mobile, in chat, and via voice—mirroring how humans operate. The platform has quickly gained traction, earning the top spot on Product Hunt and attracting 25,000 active users across the United States, Europe, and Singapore. Users include small-business owners along with real-estate and insurance agents who report strong reliance on the service. Co-founders Tiago Alves and Neil Kumar emphasize zero-setup usability and GPT-based architecture as key differentiators. The new capital will fund additional integrations, strengthen the underlying GPT framework, and expand the engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to meet rising demand. The company positions itself not just as another AI productivity app but as a foundational platform poised to reshape professional workflows worldwide.
