  • Corbel

    Participated · Seed · Oct 2025

    Corbel offers an AI-native Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) platform that ingests manufacturers’ proprietary product catalogs, technical specifications, pricing sheets, and historical communications to create a rich sales intelligence layer. Its AI agents surface optimal machine configurations, relevant upsells, and tailored financing options, shortening sales cycles and boosting conversion rates. Since rolling out its broader platform six months ago, Corbel has processed more than $60 million in quoting volume and facilitated $1.7 million in financing across 41 transactions, achieving approval rates above 90%. The system is already live with eight manufacturers in sectors such as metalworking, woodworking, and additive manufacturing. Founded in 2022, the company is expanding its engineering and go-to-market teams to scale deployments with additional OEM partners across North America. By replacing manual data entry and static PDFs with real-time AI guidance, Corbel aims to modernize a trillion-dollar industrial equipment market that still relies heavily on legacy tools.

  • Perfect

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2025

    Perfect provides an AI co-pilot for recruiting teams that helps write job posts, determine where to run them, and triage inbound applicants. The platform was built from the ground up without third‑party large language models, using a proprietary vector dataset and annotated recruitment data purchased and cleaned from other providers. Perfect says its tools can save recruiters as much as 25 hours per week and has grown its customer base to about 200 businesses in the year since it opened, up from roughly 20 early customers. The company was founded by Eylon Etshtein, previously founder of Anyvision, and spent around three years in stealth developing its stack. Perfect competes with incumbent recruitment tools such as Indeed and LinkedIn while integrating into industry workflows. Future plans include expanding its recruiter toolset and launching a free tool for candidates to better target job searches, which would also supply additional data for the platform. Perfect is an AI-driven, question-based recruitment platform that scans dozens of public data sources to find and recommend technology professionals. The company says it has mapped the profiles and career graphs of millions of U.S.-based technology professionals. Its talent search tools are free to use, with paid subscribers receiving additional tools to refine searches and outreach. Perfect positions itself as a “Spotify for talent,” adapting recommendations to each company’s hiring preferences. The company plans to use new funding to increase market penetration and accelerate product development. Perfect counts tech customers such as Incredibuild, RocketVisor and RTP Global among its users.

  • Reeco

    Participated · Series A · Jan 2025

    Reeco offers an AI-driven procure-to-pay platform that unifies purchasing, receiving, inventory, recipe management, and accounts payable into a single system for the hospitality industry. The platform enables users to purchase from contracted vendors in a few clicks, manage recipes to track real-time food costs, and connect recipes with point-of-sale systems to reveal real-time margins. Its AI-powered smartphone app speeds receiving and inventory audits (cutting counting time by about 50%) and the accounts-payable tools automate GL coding and sync with preferred accounting systems. Reeco emphasizes eliminating spreadsheets, supplier portals, and manual data entry to reduce errors and drive operational efficiency across back-of-house teams. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate platform development, expand technical capabilities, scale sales and marketing, and deliver new product features. Financially, Reeco has raised $15M in this Series A on top of a $10M seed, and it reports 800% adoption growth in less than two years across hundreds of customers. Reeco operates a marketplace that connects hospitality buyers and suppliers to streamline procurement for hotels and other hospitality businesses. Buyers select needed products and orders are automatically matched with the optimal supplier from hundreds of top local and national suppliers based on price, availability, and delivery dates. The platform is used to address challenges such as supply shortages, food waste, and overspending on fast-moving goods. Customers include Playa Largo Resort – Autograph Collection, Hilton Aventura, The Even Hotel, management company Shaner Hotel Group, and hotels from Marriott and Ramada. Led by CEO Henrik Shimony, Reeco added Miami, Florida as its U.S. headquarters in 2022 while remaining Tel Aviv–based. The company raised $10M in seed funding to expand operations and broaden its business reach.
