• Nyad

  Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

  Nyad is an AI-powered decision support platform designed for wastewater treatment plant operators. The software delivers real-time biological insights and troubleshooting guidance to help teams diagnose issues early, maintain regulatory compliance, and run facilities more safely and efficiently. It tackles an urgent industry problem, as nearly half of the U.S. wastewater workforce is expected to retire within the next decade, leaving a significant knowledge gap. Since its commercial launch, the company has worked with utilities ranging from large metropolitan networks to small rural plants across the United States. Founded in 2024 by British entrepreneurs Virginia Szepietowski and Christopher Braithwaite, Nyad is headquartered at Innovation Depot in Birmingham, Alabama. The firm recently secured $1.3 million in pre-seed capital to fund hiring, customer acquisition, and continued product development as it scales nationwide.

• Yipy

  Led · Seed · Jan 2026

  Yipy is a Salt Lake City startup that bills itself as the hotel sector’s first dedicated Hospitality Standards Management System. Its mobile-first platform lets hotel brands centrally author service standards, push them to frontline teams, audit execution continuously and track performance trends over time, turning static binders and checklists into living operational infrastructure. By sitting above existing task, training and communications tools, Yipy aims to become the connective layer that links standards to day-to-day execution without forcing properties to abandon their local individuality. Early adopters already include properties flagged as The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott, indicating that the software can handle highly prescriptive, brand-centric environments. The company argues that consistent execution is increasingly critical as labor volatility, rising training costs and guest expectations pressure operators. Proceeds from its recent fundraise will expand product development and accelerate go-to-market efforts as Yipy works to scale beyond initial deployments. To date, the company has secured $1 million in pre-seed capital, and no additional financial or user metrics were disclosed.
