• Traysar

  Participated · Seed · Jun 2026

  Traysar develops autonomous 'subterra' platforms for penetrating, mapping, and securing underground networks and creating precision subterranean access points. The company is fielding an excavator-class autonomous tunnel breaching and tactical exploration platform and a high-speed rapid-burrowing autonomous platform for precision access and payload delivery. Its engineering team includes early engineers from SpaceX and The Boring Company, and the company says it is also pioneering doctrine for subterranean military operations. Traysar publicly launched at the 2026 Reindustrialize Summit and has raised $25M in a seed round led by Silent Ventures with several strategic and institutional investors. The company was co-founded by Yadin Soffer, Asher Katz, and Gilad Adin and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The funding is positioned to support development and fielding of its platforms and expansion of its capabilities in the subterranean domain.

  Sphinx builds agentic AI that natively interfaces with data and data-science workflows to transform raw information into actionable insight. Its flagship product, Sphinx Copilot, is purpose-built for data scientists and emphasizes accurate representations, rigorous model verification, and grounding responses with quantitative evidence. The copilot interprets tabular and semi-structured information, supports exploratory workflows, and is available today in environments including Jupyter and VSCode. Sphinx says its agents refine forecasts, optimize operations, and can power applications from supply chains to sabermetrics, targeting industries such as CPG, retail, and financial services. The company highlights readiness to accelerate over 93 million Jupyter users worldwide and aims to enable a large market for data insights. Customers such as Oats Overnight report faster pattern discovery in analytics workflows.

• Blue Water Autonomy

  Participated · Series A · Aug 2025

  Blue Water Autonomy designs and builds highly producible, full-sized unmanned ships—about half a football field in length—capable of crossing the Pacific with months-long endurance while carrying significant Navy payloads. Its autonomous ship design fully integrates hardware, software, and AI to allow vessels to operate on the open ocean for extended periods. Since the April 2025 seed round the team has quadrupled in size, completed successful on-water engineering tests, and started acquiring long-lead material from more than 50 selected suppliers. The company recently opened a Washington, D.C. office and added shipbuilding veterans with a track record of delivering 30+ ships to the U.S. Navy and work on DARPA's NOMARS. With the new funding, Blue Water plans to build and deploy its first long-range, full-sized autonomous ship next year. Financially, the company has raised $64M to date ($14M seed in April 2025 plus the $50M Series A announced Aug. 26, 2025). Blue Water Autonomy is a Boston-based shipbuilding startup developing autonomous, captain-less naval ships and a full-stack autonomy suite. Founded in 2024 by former U.S. Navy members and leaders from Amazon Robotics and iRobot, the team says it developed concept ship designs in under a year. It is already salt-water testing a 100-ton autonomous test vessel just outside Boston. The company's core product combines autonomy software and ship design to operate naval vessels without onboard captains. Blue Water Autonomy raised a $14 million seed round to expand its engineering team and accelerate testing. The company positions itself to serve the U.S. Navy, the Department of Defense, and the wider maritime industry amid a surge in defense tech investment.
