• Manifold

  Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

  Manifold builds an AI Detection & Response (AIDR) and Governance platform for agentic enterprise environments. Its solution secures endpoints, monitors agent behavior at runtime, detects threats in real time, and gives security teams visibility and context to investigate and respond. The platform provides full runtime visibility into agent actions, the tools they call, systems they access and connections to MCP servers, databases and external systems, with anomalies flagged when behavior drifts. The company plans to use its recent seed funding to accelerate development of the AIDR platform and enable enterprises to safely adopt agentic AI at scale. Manifold was co-founded by Neal Swaelens, Oleksandr Yaremchuk and Michael McKenna and is based in San Diego, CA.

• MetalBear

  Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

  MetalBear is the creator of mirrord, an open-source Kubernetes development solution that proxies local code into remote production-like cloud environments with a single IDE toggle. By intercepting I/O at a low level, mirrord enables developers to test microservice changes against live databases, APIs, queues, and third-party services without deploying anything. The enterprise edition adds traffic routing and queue splitting so multiple engineers can safely share one staging cluster, eliminating costly per-developer environments. The product is already used by thousands of developers at companies such as NVIDIA, AWS, and Apple, with early adopters reporting 80 % faster test iterations and 30 % fewer production bugs. MetalBear employs 25 people across 14 countries and offers mirrord under an open-source model with a paid enterprise tier. As AI speeds up code generation, the company positions mirrord as the critical layer that removes the new testing and integration bottleneck in cloud-native development.
