- Anything AI
Participated · Equity · Aug 2026
Anything AI offers a no-code, vibe-coding platform that enables users to build apps and deploy AI agents that perform roles such as bug investigation, engineering operations, brand management, executive assistance, and office management. The company says more than one million people have used the platform to create millions of apps. Its new product, Skydive, lets customers define a teammate by description or choose from four agent templates and then add agents to Slack, email, the web, iMessage, and give them phone numbers. The agents are intended to operate continuously and handle tasks while human employees are offline. Anything AI was founded last year by Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, both former Google product leads. The company raised an $11 million financing at a $100 million valuation backed by Footwork, Uncork Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and M13.

- Rime
Led · Series A · Jul 2026
Founded in 2022 by Lily Clifford, Brooke Larson, and Ares Geovanos, Rime develops voice AI models tuned for enterprise phone calls. The company operates a recording studio in San Francisco to collect conversational data rather than relying on web-scraped audio and employs a phoneme-based architecture to adapt pronunciations and brand-specific terms. Rime started with separate pipelines for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and an LLM but is shifting focus toward speech-to-speech models to reduce latency, improve turn-taking, and handle background noise. It serves customers across food service, healthcare, airlines, and fintech and counts Mayo Clinic, Dialpad, Upstart, and Asurion among its enterprise clients. The startup has about 35 employees and recently hired Rafael Valle as Chief Scientist to strengthen its audio understanding and model work. Rime says its training approach helps increase customer call duration, which it credits with winning enterprise contracts.
- Chord
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Chord builds an AI platform designed to power modern commerce operations by unifying data, operational context, and execution into what it calls a "context graph," a living operational memory of metrics, rules, decisions, constraints, and trade-offs. The company says its platform enables brands to generate insights and immediately take action, compressing workflows that previously required multiple teams into minutes, and that teams are increasingly using Chord in place of traditional BI tools. Chord was built by the team behind Glossier and says customers using the platform collectively represent over $1 billion in annual revenue; named customers include Mr. Beast, Ritual, Ruggable, Rodan + Fields, and Blue Bottle Coffee. The company reports organic expansion within customers and that Copilot usage has tripled as adoption shifts from legacy analytics. With the new funding, Chord plans to accelerate its agent infrastructure development and scale across mid-market and enterprise commerce and retail brands generating $20M–$1B in revenue.
- Tamber
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Tamber builds assistive, non-generative AI tools for music creation that integrate directly with digital audio workstations (DAWs). Its platform uses sonic intelligence to translate text, voice, and gesture into real-time creative controls for discovering sounds and shaping parameters without interrupting workflow. The company maintains a global sound library powered by original recordings to expand access to culturally diverse material. Tamber positions its tools to help musicians and producers move more fluidly from idea to execution. The company is led by founder Zoe Wrenn and is based in Los Angeles, California. Recent funding will support the launch and further development of its creative suite and AI-powered music-production tooling.
