- Harry Howard AI
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Harry Howard AI builds an AI-native workspace that coordinates multiple specialized AI agents, persistent project memory, and a cloud-native architecture to support solo founders through idea validation, product planning, asset creation, and operations. The platform positions itself as an all-in-one digital startup team for one-person companies, aiming to replace fragmented tools with a unified workflow. Key technical elements called out include agent orchestration, persistent project memory, and integration of large language models. The company plans to use the $3.0M seed proceeds to accelerate its core infrastructure development, hire additional engineering talent, and speed feature rollouts. Harry, the CEO, stated the platform helps solo founders move from rough idea to market launch in days rather than months. The company is based in Victoria, BC.
- Akedo
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
Akedo operates a “vibe-coding” platform that coordinates multiple AI agents across ideation, content generation, development, and distribution to accelerate game and digital content creation. The company claims its multi-agent approach delivers up to 100× efficiency gains versus traditional single-assistant large-language-model workflows. Beyond creation tools, Akedo is building a one-click token-launch feature, enabling creators to issue and monetize game-related collections with mechanics such as $AKE-paired liquidity pools and bonding-curve token distribution to active players and key opinion leaders. The platform is already live, reporting more than 2 million registered users, over 1 million on-chain transactions, and roughly 30,000 on-chain daily active users. Akedo also maintains a social following exceeding 2 million across channels. The recently secured seed capital strengthens the company’s financial position and will be deployed to scale its multi-agent infrastructure and broaden product capabilities for creators, studios, and communities.
- Nexton Solutions
Participated · Equity · Nov 2025
Nexton Solutions builds an AI-native execution layer designed to maximize on-chain yield by automating restaking and arbitrage strategies across decentralized and centralized liquidity venues. Its stack comprises Nexton-ai, an AI arbitrage routing engine that scans DEXs such as STON.fi, DeDust and EVAA as well as CEXs like Binance and Hyperliquid, and Nexton-re, an automated restaking module that mints performance-tracking staking NFTs and enables multi-layer restaking. All functionality operates inside Telegram, removing the need for dashboards or extensions and streamlining user interaction. The platform currently manages more than $3 million in TVL, serves over 60,000 monthly active users, and collaborates with 75+ ecosystem partners across TON, Kaia, Base and BNB Chain. Reported AI strategies have produced 70–90% APY and over 40% cumulative ROI derived from real arbitrage PnL. With a strong footprint in Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia, Nexton plans to grow to 500,000 users and position itself as the default AI execution layer for global restaking and arbitrage. Near-term initiatives include multi-route upgrades, expanded Telegram growth funnels and preparation for an NXT token private round.
