- Astute
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
Astute provides an AI-driven platform for B2B companies to discover and manage partnerships with creators across newsletters, podcasts and social platforms. Its product uses two AI agents: one acting as a talent manager for creators and another serving as a new media manager for B2B companies to identify creators, develop strategies and run campaigns. The platform monitors more than one million creator posts per minute to surface where businesses and competitors are being discussed and to recommend partnership opportunities. It supports a wide range of collaboration types including editorial placements, interviews, podcast appearances, advertising and event collaborations, and measures campaign performance via impressions, conversions, brand visibility and visibility in AI-powered search engines. Founded by Vida Stanić and Abhishek Manikandan, Astute launched alongside the $1.2M pre-seed raise to build infrastructure for B2B marketing and plans to expand toward helping companies build brands and develop their own audiences.
- Flora Fertility
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Flora offers individually-owned fertility insurance policies that cover diagnostics, medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Policies are available in the U.S. starting at about $20 per month and the platform already reaches over 10 million prospective policyholders across North America. Flora combines proprietary underwriting, individualized risk modeling, AI and omnichannel distribution, and is backed by A-rated insurance partners and a global reinsurance panel. The company plans to expand distribution and underwriting capabilities to grow access to proactive family-planning coverage in the U.S. and then Canada. Financially, Flora has just completed a $5M seed round to fund that expansion and category creation efforts.
- Addi
Participated · Series B · May 2021
Addi operates a digital lending platform that serves more than 2.5 million consumers and 33,000 partner merchants. The company originates consumer and merchant credit and uses these receivables as part of financing structures such as the recently closed warehouse facility. Its debt now totals over $680 million following the new $150 million line led by J.P. Morgan and supported by Fasanara Capital. The platform positions itself as a conversion engine for merchant sales across a mix of SMEs and large brands. With the added liquidity, Addi plans to continue scaling its merchant and consumer network and to consolidate its market position in Colombia while exploring expansion into new markets. Fasanara’s third participation signals ongoing institutional investor confidence in Addi’s underwriting and risk model.
