- Neko Health
Participated · Series C · Jul 2026
Neko Health runs the Neko Health Scan, a 60-minute comprehensive, non-invasive, radiation-free assessment that captures millions of health data points using proprietary sensors alongside blood analysis and delivers results with an in-person clinician consultation. Since launching in February 2023, Neko has expanded clinics across Sweden and the U.K., recently opening a new Stockholm clinic and rolling out next-generation devices (Derma-2, Echo-2, Spectrum-2) and body-composition measures. Over 350,000 people have registered for a scan and more than 100,000 members have completed one, with about 75% of members prepaying for a follow-up scan at the end of their appointment. Neko reports measurable health improvements for returning members, including statistically significant improvements in five of seven key biomarkers and many previously severe conditions brought under control. The company is focused on scaling clinic footprint and iterating its in-house tech stack, with planned U.S. expansion and continued investment in hardware and its health data platform.
- Digital Asset
Participated · Series F · Jun 2026
Digital Asset builds and operates the Canton Network, a public, permissionless Layer 1 blockchain that provides protocol-level privacy and confidentiality guarantees and runs applications written in its open-source smart contract language, Daml. Canton is designed to enable tokenized asset workflows across multiple parties while keeping transaction data confidential, and it has attracted marquee institutional participants including Visa, Goldman Sachs, and DTCC. The network has processed or issued more than $6 trillion in tokenized assets according to prior reporting, and Visa became a Canton Super Validator and added Canton to a stablecoin settlement pilot. The Canton ecosystem has also seen activity such as a $540 million raise by Canton Strategic Holdings (formerly Tharimmune) to build a Canton Coin treasury and a project called Zenith completing atomic swaps between Canton and an EVM-compatible environment. On the financing front, Digital Asset raised $135 million in June 2025 and $50 million in December 2025, and is now pursuing a roughly $300 million round led by a16z crypto. The company is backed by trading firms and banks including DRW Holdings and Citadel Securities.
- Cloaked
Led · Series B · Mar 2026
Founded in 2020, Cloaked provides a bundle of consumer privacy and security products such as multiple digital identities (emails, phone numbers, passwords), data removal services, identity theft insurance, VPN, and dark web monitoring. It has added AI-powered call screening and is expanding that screening to text messages, email, and browsing, while testing an AI agent that can take actions like changing compromised passwords. The company reported 10x growth last year, more than 350,000 paying customers, protection of over 10 million identities, cleanup of more than 1 billion records from data broker sites, and processing over 50 million scam or spam phone calls since launching call screening. Cloaked is beginning to roll out enterprise offerings that provide employees alerts, and give CISOs aggregated risk and remediation visibility. The startup has nearly 70 employees and intends to expand hiring across product, engineering, enterprise sales, and international markets, and competes with companies including 1Password, Gaurdio, Firefox, Proton, and Mozilla.
- Mesh
Participated · Series C · Jan 2026
Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, Mesh operates a crypto payments and settlement layer—branded SmartFunding—that routes payments across wallets, chains and assets so merchants receive instant stablecoins or local currency. The company reports reaching 900 million users through integrations with exchanges, wallets and financial platforms and counts partners such as Ripple, Paxos and Rain; it added support for Ripple’s dollar stablecoin and an integration with Apple Pay. Financially, Mesh had raised over $200 million prior to the reported round, including a $82 million Series B in March 2025 and a $75 million Series C on January 27, 2026 that brought it to a $1.0 billion valuation. Axios reports Binance is preparing to lead a new financing that could value Mesh at up to $2.0 billion, a move described as strategically focused on payments infrastructure rather than token trading. When announcing its Series C, Mesh said it would deploy capital to expand in Latin America, Asia and Europe, with India highlighted as a priority market.
- Billions
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
Billions Network has built an identity-verification platform that allows users to prove who they are without revealing personal data by employing Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology. Its architecture combines Circom- and Privado ID-based ZK circuits with NFC document authentication and real-time liveness checks to minimize spoofing and forgery. Users who participate in verification receive BLNS tokens, while token burns tied to network usage are designed to sustain long-term value and underpin a growing reputation system. Polygon Labs is working with the company to help deploy the service on Ethereum Layer-2 and enable multichain expansion. Looking ahead, the team plans to leverage these partnerships to push broader on-chain distribution and real-world adoption. Financially, Billions Network has secured a $35 million seed round from leading crypto investors, providing capital to scale the product and ecosystem.
