Founded in March 2025 by Mike Witte, Mike Meller, and Graham Yennie, Equal Parts combines capital, operational support, and a purpose-built AI operating system to modernize independent insurance agencies.

Barnwell Bio delivers a metagenomic biosurveillance platform that captures the entire microbial fingerprint of poultry barns, turning hundreds of thousands of data points into actionable dashboards for veterinarians and producers. By identifying pathogen spikes before clinical symptoms appear, the system lets managers shift from reactive treatment to proactive flock management. The New York–headquartered startup was founded by the team that built the U.S. COVID-19 wastewater monitoring infrastructure and is already working with partners such as Mississippi State University, West Liberty Foods, and Vital Farms. Rising USDA/FDA pressure to reduce routine antibiotics and costly outbreaks like Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza position Barnwell’s data layer as a must-have for the $315 billion global poultry market. The company plans to use newly raised funds to expand throughout the Midwest and Southeast poultry belt and to strengthen its proprietary insights engine. Significant investment will go toward hiring bioinformatics, data science, and AI/ML talent to deepen predictive capabilities. No revenue or user numbers have been disclosed.

Founded six months ago, Belidor.ai has built an artificial-intelligence platform that turns disparate construction documents—such as estimates, blueprints and cost sheets—into structured, comparable data. The product replaces the manual bid-leveling work that can consume up to a week each month for general contractors, cutting the task down to a few hours while maintaining analytical precision. Its ‘native’ AI is trained specifically on construction projects and continually improves through learning from past jobs. The company aims to broaden the technology beyond bid leveling to the entire pre-construction phase, encapsulated in its longer-term “prompt-to-building” vision where a project brief could yield validated plans, materials and teams within days. Belidor.ai is currently expanding its technical team in Paris while targeting U.S. general contractors from Utah to New York. To date, it has raised $3.1 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate product development and market entry.
