- Ornn
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Ornn develops infrastructure for the compute capacity market, including OCPI, a transaction-based index intended to provide a unified, trusted pricing benchmark for compute. The company also launched Ornn Compute, which aggregates dedicated GPU capacity from multiple neoclouds into a single platform with unified access, secondary transfer markets, and on-demand subleasing. Ornn says its approach enables operators to underwrite diversified demand through a single underwriting contract while buyers can view booked cluster site, hardware configuration, and terms. The OCPI index is intended to support risk-transfer products such as futures and options and has been referenced by partners including ICE. The articles do not report revenue, user metrics, founding year, valuation, or prior financing rounds.
- Zazume
Led · Series A · Jun 2026
Founded in Barcelona, Zazume provides a platform that digitises and streamlines residential rental management by combining proprietary technology, AI and embedded financial services. The company works with property owners and real estate agencies to professionalise and consolidate fragmented rental portfolios across Spain. Zazume currently manages around 3,500 properties and expects to exceed 5,000 by the end of the year. It recently reached financial break-even and is pursuing growth from a position of operational sustainability. Zazume's near-term plans emphasise acquiring regional property management portfolios from smaller agencies, and it has already acquired Zaragoza-based Landa Propiedades. The company will also deploy capital toward sales and marketing to grow its customer base and strengthen agency relationships.
- Corgi
Participated · Series B · May 2026
Corgi is an AI-native, full-stack insurance carrier founded by Emily Yuan and Nico Laqua and headquartered in San Francisco. As a licensed carrier, it designs and manages insurance end-to-end and uses AI to power underwriting, policy management, and claims operations. The company launched its platform after receiving regulatory approval in July 2025 and initially focused on property-management insurance for startups. Corgi plans to expand its product suite into new verticals including trucking, payroll, and small-business insurance while broadening coverage and distribution. Financially, Corgi has raised over $268 million to date, including a $160 million Series B at a $1.3 billion valuation. The company is investing the new capital in AI systems, faster quoting, adaptive risk models, and operational scaling to support its growth plans.
- Neverless
Participated · Seed · Dec 2024
Neverless was founded by three former Revolut executives: Phuc To, Mikael Peydayesh and Arthur Johanet. The app lets users buy over 400 crypto tokens directly using Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers and blockchain transfers. The product emphasizes access to meme coins and relatively rare, low‑liquidity tokens and routes trades to the appropriate trading venues to secure better prices. Neverless advertises no fees on buy/sell using bank transfers, blockchain transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a 1% fee only for Apple/Google Pay transactions above $1,000. The company generates revenue by passing interest on some cryptocurrencies to users and offering automated trading strategies (high‑frequency arbitrage and market‑making) from which it can take a share of returns. Neverless has secured a MiFID license and will need to comply with the incoming MiCA rules; earlier this year it raised $6.7 million in a seed round.
- Fintech Farm
Led · Series B · May 2024
Fintech Farm was founded by three Ukrainians and is co-founded by monobank co-founder Dmytro Dubilet. The company operates in six markets: India, Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Morocco, and serves more than 3.5 million users. It has pursued rapid expansion in India, raising $32 million in 2024 with portions of that funding supporting Ukrainian team salaries. The latest financing is a $15 million debt facility from Flashpoint Fund earmarked to scale operations in India and Vietnam. The lender is not taking equity, a structure the company says helps it grow while preserving its ownership. Fintech Farm continues to focus on scaling its presence across emerging markets.
