Velix develops a financial operations platform that streamlines freight and parcel reconciliation, customer billing, and dispute resolution for logistics and supply-chain operators. By replacing spreadsheets, email, paper invoices, and disconnected legacy systems, the software helps 3PLs and other logistics firms reduce margin leakage and accelerate cash collection. The company positions itself at the intersection of logistics operations and finance, an area it claims has been largely overlooked despite increasing supply-chain complexity and volume. Velix’s single-system approach enables finance and operations teams to collaborate more efficiently across fragmented networks. The startup plans to use its new capital to expand its team, enhance product capabilities, and ramp up go-to-market efforts across additional customer segments and geographies. Advisor Nicholas Richards, co-founder of ShipHero, brings sector expertise to guide product and market strategy. Velix is betting that modernizing the financial layer of logistics will become as critical as optimizing the physical movement of goods.

Deck provides browser-based AI agents and infrastructure that enable user-permissioned access to data trapped behind logins on websites that do not offer APIs. Its platform automates logging in, navigating, and extracting structured data, then generates scripts to keep those connections live and reusable without ongoing AI involvement. Deck initially focused on utilities, claiming connections to over 100,000 utility providers in more than 40 countries, and lists customers including EnergyCAP, Quadient, Greenly, Notes.fm, Glowtify, and Evive Smoothies. The company relies on explicit user consent, proprietary anti-bot techniques, and says it is not using collected data to train models today. It plans to launch a data vertical creator to let developers rapidly stand up new data verticals; developer usage and connections have grown rapidly (February connections rose over 120% versus the prior month). Deck has 30 employees and is productizing authentication, data normalization, consent management, rate limiting, and anti-bot protections rather than building downstream products on the collected data. The startup raised a $12M Series A led by Infinity Ventures, bringing total funding to $16.5M since its January 2024 inception. Deck provides a platform to automate the collection and integration of utility data — including energy, fuel, waste, and water — to streamline energy management and carbon accounting. Its system is available in over 30 countries and can extract data from more than 100,000 electricity, fuel, natural gas, water, and sanitation sources. Deck offers two products: Deck Self-Serve for enterprise users to connect, export, and view data in a dashboard, and Deck API to embed utility account linking into platform user flows. The company plans to use the $4.5M seed proceeds to grow its product and expand hiring across engineering and sales. Deck was founded by Yves-Gabriel Leboeuf, Fred Lavoie, Bruno Lambert, and Julien Bélisle and is based in Montreal, Canada.
