- Rightbrain AI
Participated · Equity · May 2026
Rightbrain AI builds an AI operating layer centered on a primitive called Tasks—API calls with pre-configured instructions that accept dynamic variables and return structured outputs. The platform adds multi-model routing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)/grounding, audit logs, and version control so prompts behave like production code. Beyond single tasks, Rightbrain provides orchestration for agents that run complex workflows, native connections to external tools and systems, and a focus on telemetry and evals to monitor agent behavior across runs. The company emphasizes helping businesses embed agents across core workflows and enabling lean technical teams to deploy AI faster and safer. The recent £3m seed raise is intended to accelerate continued shipping and product development to keep customers ahead.
- Unblock
Participated · Equity · Jul 2025
Unblock deploys modular mobile data centers at remote energy production sites to capture flared gas and curtailed renewable energy and turn it into computing power. The company’s systems convert wasted energy into revenue while eliminating an estimated 142,000 tons of CO2 annually. Unblock operates the world’s second-largest computing fleet at oil field facilities and grew from 0 to 15MW in just over a year; two major projects are expected to double capacity by September. The company is scaling across Latin America with plans for aggressive hiring in engineering and field operations and vertical integration of local data center production. The recent $13.5M funding will support that expansion and operational scaling. Tomas Ocampo, CEO and founder, describes the business as positioned at the intersection of AI’s growing energy demand and Latin America’s bottlenecked energy resources.

- Unchained
Participated · Series B · Apr 2023
Unchained offers a collaborative custody platform that leverages bitcoin’s native multisignature capabilities to combine self‑custody benefits with mitigated custodial risk. Its platform secures over $2 billion in bitcoin across thousands of keys and the company has originated more than $500 million in bitcoin‑collateralized loans since 2017 with zero loan losses. Product offerings include a trading desk that allows clients to buy bitcoin directly to cold storage and an IRA product that lets clients hold keys within tax‑advantaged retirement accounts. Unchained emphasizes risk management, regulatory compliance, and client service and positions its model as resilient to rehypothecation risks that affected other firms. The company is known for bitcoin education and thought leadership and plans to expand its client base and product suite to bridge into traditional dollar ecosystems around credit, trading, and investment. Management says it will use the new capital to grow distribution and enhance its core financial services delivered through collaborative custody. Unchained Capital builds a full-suite financial services platform focused on customers who hold long-term wealth in bitcoin and insist on private key ownership. Its core product offering includes a bitcoin-backed multisig lending platform supported by third-party funding partners. The company says the partnership with NYDIG accelerated development of its technology and services and contributed to a five-fold increase in its bitcoin-collateralized lending business over the past six months. In February NYDIG took a minority equity stake and agreed to provide $50M of lending capital to Unchained; NYDIG has since expanded that support. The company was founded in 2016 by Joe Kelly and is based in Austin, TX. Unchained Capital operates a bitcoin-backed multisignature lending platform and custody solution that lets clients retain unilateral control of their bitcoin while accessing financial services. The company develops proprietary services and open-source applications to advance multisig for individuals and businesses. Unchained has reached over $1 billion of bitcoin secured and has originated over $80 million in loans. Proceeds from the new financing will be used to grow its 25-person team, deepen its partnership with NYDIG, and expand lending and trade-execution capabilities. The firm plans to grow its suite of services to include bitcoin lending and bitcoin payments infrastructure. Unchained is based in Austin, Texas and was founded in 2016. Unchained Capital provides USD loans secured by customers' long-term cryptocurrency holdings, allowing borrowers to access fiat without selling assets. The company offers Bitcoin- and Ethereum-collateralized loans with terms up to five years and competitive interest rates. It emphasizes custody security using an open-source smart contract, multi-signature cold storage, and hardware wallets, supported by a $150,000 bug bounty and a security audit by Hosho. Unchained recently expanded its lending capabilities to accept ETH in addition to BTC. The firm positions itself as infrastructure for crypto-wealth management and aims to innovate proprietary financial services and wealth management offerings. Funds from the recent raise will be used to expand the team and develop its product suite.
