- Cimento AI
Led · Seed · May 2026
Cimento AI provides an AI-native human risk management platform that creates a continuous, living risk profile for employees by integrating with tools such as email, identity providers, cloud providers and existing security tools. The platform runs realistic social engineering simulations across email, SMS and voice, often as multi-step sequences, and automatically adapts as each interaction feeds back into the system. When it detects risk, Cimento delivers brief, contextual interventions tied to the immediate incident, typically lasting 60–90 seconds. The system operates without campaigns or manual content libraries, continuously refining assessments and simulations. The company lists customers including Gemini, DigitalOcean, Tensorwave, TogetherAI, Aryaka and Moveworks. Cimento AI is led by co-founders Zain Rizavi (CEO), Eric Liu (CPO) and Paul Kong (AI Engineer) and raised $3m in pre-seed funding to expand operations and development.
- Tribe AI
Led · Seed · Jul 2024
Tribe AI operates a network of over 500 contractors to provide AI talent and services, building products and projects for customers. The company is platform-agnostic and partners with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google) and large language model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic). Customers include MyFitnessPal and New Relic. Tribe declined to share exact revenue figures but reported an eight-figure revenue run rate that is on track to double this year. To meet surging demand since the arrival of generative AI, Tribe plans to use new capital to hire additional staff and develop a suite of tools to automate parts of projects and improve efficiency. The company positions itself against large consulting firms like McKinsey and Accenture by offering experienced, execution-focused talent rather than high-level strategy advice.
