  • Silicon Data

    Participated · Series A · Aug 2026

    Silicon Data provides pricing indices, performance benchmarks, forward curves and market intelligence for the AI compute economy, aimed at buyers, sellers, exchanges and financial institutions. It has built a portfolio of nine financial-grade indices covering GPUs and LLMs and offers alternative datasets that track supply, demand, utilization, pricing and economics across compute. The company has over 1,000 registered users and counts semiconductor manufacturers, AI model builders and financial institutions among its daily users. SiliconMark, a product funded by the Series A, benchmarks real-world GPU cluster performance to normalize output differences driven by networking, topology and configuration. Silicon Data spent two years building the pricing and performance history needed to support a futures market and is positioned to be the reference layer for cash-settled GPU futures being planned by CME Group. Financially, the company raised a $4.7 million seed in March 2025 and completed a $30.5 million Series A initial closing to fund its next phase of product and market expansion.

  • TrueDAO

    Participated · Equity · Jul 2026

    TrueDAO is building a modular on-chain financial infrastructure that integrates smart contracts, on-chain data, AI-driven risk analytics, dynamic value adjustments, protocol reserves and community governance. The team says it developed the core protocol architecture over the past year and aims to serve as infrastructure for multiple blockchain applications rather than a single use case. With a $10 million strategic financing led by Brevan Howard Digital (announced July 10, 2026), TrueDAO plans to focus on protocol development, AI risk controls, security audits, global compliance work, developer documentation and ecosystem integrations. Near-term milestones include launching a testnet, performing independent security audits, rolling out developer tools and gradually publishing protocol operations and reserve data. The company also stated that token organization and incentive mechanisms will be announced later and will comply with applicable law. The press release originated from New York.

The platform includes integrated payments solutions, document collection, KYC/KYB controls, tax filing, audit trails, and fraud prevention, and it integrates with equity plan administrators via APIs to reconcile vested and exercised shares in real time. Vinyl supports both private and public companies and has acted as transfer agent for clients including Neptune Insurance Holdings Inc. after its NYSE listing. Headquartered in Chicago and SEC-registered as a transfer agent, Vinyl emphasizes auditability, system integrity, and real-time accuracy for regulated market environments.

  • Blitzy

    Participated · Equity · May 2026

    Blitzy builds an autonomous software development platform that reverse-engineers enterprise environments, constructs a persistent knowledge graph of codebases, and orchestrates thousands of agents in parallel to execute multi-week to multi-month development projects. The platform integrates state-of-the-art models from providers including Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI, running these models 100,000+ times on each run, and achieved a record 66.5% score on SWE-Bench Pro. Blitzy reports adoption across dozens of Global 2000 customers and says its platform can drive up to 5x engineering velocity for some large enterprises. The company has more than doubled headcount in the past six months and plans to expand its research team, scale go-to-market operations, and broaden partnerships—particularly in regulated sectors like government, financial services, and insurance. Financially, Blitzy raised $200 million in a growth round at a $1.4 billion valuation to fund these initiatives.

  • Above Security

    Participated · Series A · Mar 2026

    Above Security positions itself as a next-generation insider threat platform designed for an era where humans and AI agents can both act as insiders. Its platform uses a network of specialized AI investigators and an Arbiter engine that focuses on intent determination by correlating behavioral signals rather than relying on static rules or anomaly detection. The company says this approach reduces false positives, minimizes manual investigation, and produces actionable behavioral timelines for security, legal, and HR teams. Above reports it has been revenue-generating for six months and that enterprise customers are deploying the platform without traditional policy configuration. It has built integrations across identity, endpoint, and SaaS ecosystems and is targeting organizations with more than 1,000 employees operating in SaaS-heavy environments. Above was founded in 2025 by Aviv Nahum and Amir Boldo, and was selected for the 2026 Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator backed by CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA.
