Apaluma offers a platform that converts fragmented regulatory records—PDFs, scanned ledgers and legacy databases—into structured, searchable intelligence linked by a data ontology. The product maps records to real-world locations, connects monitoring feeds and sensor data to permitting history, and preserves cited sources for answers. Apaluma also connects legacy agency systems without rip-and-replace, and its platform was used to ingest and normalize the New Mexico Environment Department's entire public archive. The company targets users such as permit reviewers, compliance officers, analysts, scientists and regulators who need faster access to regulatory context. Apaluma announced plans to scale the platform following its $5.55 million seed raise. The company is led by founder and CEO Alicia J. Keyes, who previously ran economic development for the state of New Mexico.

Cognizo, based in New York and founded by Deniz Özcan and Alp Aysan, has built a comprehensive Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform for marketing teams seeking visibility on generative AI channels. The software tracks how brands are mentioned, cited, and discussed (including sentiment) within large language models, turning those insights into prioritized on-site and off-site action plans for content and PR. Key modules include Answer Engine Insights, Content Optimization, AI-sourced traffic analytics, and question/prompt volume analysis, all driven by algorithms that process millions of data points daily. Since launching its product in spring 2025, Cognizo has already added global customers such as LG, Wellhub, and Prezi. The company believes shifting consumer search behavior toward AI assistants creates a new competitive battleground for brands. Current funding will accelerate product development, critical hiring, go-to-market execution, and overall growth ambitions.

Resolv is building the “recovery layer” for digital assets by enabling stolen ERC-20 tokens to be recovered via a transparent, decentralized arbitration process. Users first wrap their holdings into protected tokens (pTokens); if theft occurs, a freeze algorithm locks the stolen assets across chains. A randomly chosen panel of vetted blockchain-forensics experts then reviews evidence and, on a majority vote, authorizes automated fund recovery—eliminating any single point of control. Founded in 2023, the company already has 2,000 users in a closed-beta mainnet who aim to protect a collective $140 million, indicating strong early demand. Over $20 billion in crypto has been stolen since 2011, underscoring the need for such infrastructure. The newly raised capital will be used to expand the team, harden the core recovery stack, grow business development, and establish regulatory foundations. Management envisions becoming the default security layer as institutional capital continues to move on-chain.
