- AGent Energy
Led · Seed · Aug 2026
AGent Energy uses an AI-based platform to aggregate, orchestrate, and monetize distributed generation assets at commercial, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. The platform turns existing behind-the-meter backup generation into rapidly dispatchable capacity that can be bid into wholesale markets, with no cost to the asset owner and new revenue earned by owners. AGent reports it is already dispatching and has delivered capacity in three major North American wholesale markets: PJM, MISO, and ERCOT. Financially, the company has raised $17 million in its first 12 months, including an $11 million Series Seed co-led by Spero Ventures and MassMutual Ventures. AGent plans to use the capital to aggressively scale its team and pursue a target of unlocking over 200 GW of behind-the-meter generation across commercial, industrial, and MUSH sectors. The company emphasizes rapid deployment and reliability benefits versus new-build capacity as core differentiators.
- Sora Fuel
Led · Seed · Apr 2026
Sora Fuel develops an integrated electrolyzer system that captures ambient CO2 and converts it directly into syngas, enabling production of drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The company reports captured carbon costs below $50 per ton and a realistic pathway to SAF production under $5 per gallon, and describes its fuel as carbon-negative. Sora Fuel plans to use the newly raised capital to build and operate a pilot production facility aimed at scaling daily unit production from gallons to barrels and achieving a demonstration milestone within 18 to 24 months. Founded roughly two years ago and headquartered in Boston, the company has attracted interest and potential offtake discussions from major energy companies, airlines, and aviation OEMs. Sora Fuel is backed by climate and infrastructure investors including Spero Ventures, Inspired Capital, Engine Ventures, and Wireframe Ventures.
- Mobius Materials
Led · Seed · Dec 2025
Mobius Materials, founded in 2021 and based in Virginia, runs a certified B2B exchange billed as the first “stock market for semiconductors.” The platform connects OEMs and contract manufacturers, bringing liquidity, quality control and price transparency to the $25 billion secondary chip market. Already used by hundreds of manufacturers, Mobius promises 10–70 % cost savings, access to rare components, and fully authenticated parts delivered in under two weeks. The company is developing an e-auction feature to let sellers reach thousands of qualified buyers and close deals in weeks instead of months. It has also filed a patent for a machine-learning system that authenticates component quality. Future plans include expanding global operations across Asia, Europe and the Americas and growing the leadership team, including a search for a Head of Operations. By reducing waste and supply-chain shocks amid volatile tariffs, Mobius targets industries ranging from consumer electronics to automotive and healthcare.
- Allie AI
Participated · Seed · Nov 2025
Allie AI develops AI-powered manufacturing intelligence aimed at advancing industrial autonomy. Its suite includes AllieML for predictive process analytics, RealTime Factory for live OEE and performance monitoring, and FactoryGPT, an agent architecture that can act through humans or directly through machine interfaces to close the loop from detection to actuation. The platform is already deployed at plants across the United States, Mexico, and South America, serving global brands such as Pepsi, OK Foods, and Coca-Cola, alongside regional manufacturers like Bachoco and Bafar. With new capital, the company plans to broaden deployments throughout the Americas, enhance its multi-agent AI capabilities, expand the engineering team, and deepen real-time factory integrations. Allie AI positions itself as a key enabler of industrial autonomy and decarbonization. To date, it has secured $5.2 million in seed financing, providing runway to scale product development and sales.
