  • Actualyze AI

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2026

    Actualyze AI provides a hosted enterprise platform that routes every AI inference request through a governed path so organizations can apply access controls, inspections, billing, and audit trails before requests reach model providers. The platform integrates with OpenAI-compatible models, client tools, and third-party systems and is organized around four pillars: Govern, Secure, Operate, and Optimize. Actualyze ties each inference to the person, team, and application that made it, offers inline inference scanning and guardrails, and provides virtual model routing based on capability, cost, and quality with automatic failover. The company launched from stealth and is in Early Access via a Design Partner Program. Founders Rafi Khardalian and Sean Lynch previously founded Metacloud, acquired by Cisco, and the company announced a $7 million seed round backed by Storm Ventures, Canaan Partners, Morado Ventures, and AME Cloud Ventures.

  • Quill

    Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

    Quill is developing Quilliam, an AI agent designed to act as a sovereign Chief of AI Staff for modern professionals. The product begins as an automated meeting note-taker, then leverages the context gathered from users’ conversations to orchestrate tasks across writing, coding, research and collaboration tools. Its architecture keeps all user data on the device by default, offers optional end-to-end-encrypted cloud sync, and lets customers choose whether inference runs locally or in enterprise clouds such as Google Vertex or AWS Bedrock. This local-first approach appeals to security-conscious and highly regulated enterprises, as no user data is used for model training and the system can run fully air-gapped. Quilliam proactively executes workflows—creating tickets in Linear, updating Notion docs, or surfacing briefings—via its Model Context Protocol integrations. The company plans to use new capital to accelerate product development, expand customizable automations, and hire across growth and enterprise sales. Financially, Quill has just closed a $6.5 million seed round; no revenue or user metrics were disclosed.

  • Scribe

    Participated · Series C · Nov 2025

    Founded in 2019, Scribe makes two core products: Scribe Capture, which records user actions to generate step-by-step guides with text and screenshots, and the newly announced Scribe Optimize, which mines activity data across an enterprise to surface the workflows where automation or AI will deliver the greatest return. The platform has documented more than 10 million workflows spanning 40,000 software applications and now serves over 5 million users. Adoption is broad—teams inside 94 % of the Fortune 500 use Scribe, and 78,000 organizations are paying customers, including New York Life, T-Mobile, LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Northern Trust. Users report saving 35–42 hours per person each month and onboarding new hires 40 % faster. Revenue more than doubled in the past year, although specific figures were not disclosed, and the company’s valuation has grown five-fold since its prior round to reach $1.3 billion. Headcount stands at 120 employees, with plans to double over the next 12 months. The new capital will accelerate the rollout of Scribe Optimize and related products as enterprises scramble to decide where to deploy automation and generative AI.

  • Evitado Technologies

    Led · Equity · Aug 2025

    Founded in 2022, Alltheway has developed what it calls the first operating system dedicated to baggage logistics, allowing passengers’ luggage to be checked in and tracked from city centers through every transit point to final delivery in the destination city. The platform links airlines, airports, hotels, rail operators, and event venues through a shared API ecosystem, creating a more fluid and secure baggage journey that can reduce time spent in airports to mere minutes. The company already moves more than 1,200 bags per day and collaborates with high-profile partners such as Accor, Air France, RATP, Groupe ADP, Disneyland Paris, ViParis, and SNCF. With fresh funding, Alltheway plans to bolster its technology stack, expand its API suite, and accelerate international rollout—specifically eyeing the United States and establishing Morocco as a hub for wider African expansion. Management envisions the product becoming the standard operating system for luggage in the era of AI-enabled travel. Although revenue figures were not disclosed, the startup has twice attracted strategic investors from the travel and infrastructure sectors, underscoring strong commercial validation. The company expects the new capital to deepen integrations across mobility, hospitality, and event segments while scaling daily bag volume and geographic reach.
