  • Cordant

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Cordant provides a real-time command center that ingests signals from payment rails, bank accounts, ledgers, compliance and risk systems and normalizes them into a shared event model to show how transactions moved across an operating environment. The platform does not move or hold funds, replace core systems, or require centralized data; instead it detects control gaps, coordinates exception workflows, and produces audit-grade records of activity. Cordant developed its product with 11 design partners spanning payments, digital assets and traditional banking, with Bitso and Paxos serving as both design partners and investors. The company was founded by former Rapyd leaders who built and commercialized Rapyd's global infrastructure and say Cordant grew from the operational visibility challenges they encountered. Cordant will use its seed funding to bring the system into production and to activate private beta clients, and it is positioning itself as a prerequisite layer for institutions looking to deploy AI and new rails within regulated workflows.

  • UNLISTED

    Participated · Seed · Jan 2025

    Unlisted is an NYC-based AI-powered real estate technology company that uses machine learning to surface off-market and private home-sale opportunities. Its platform is designed to create more dynamic, efficient market opportunities for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. The service is free for homeowners and charges a nominal fee to buyers who want to start a conversation with a homeowner. Led by CEO Katie Hill, the company says it will use the new funding to create more opportunities for homeowners, home buyers, and their agents. The product combines ML-driven discovery with commercial partnerships to surface private listings that might otherwise be missed. UNLISTED operates a cloud-based platform that leverages AI and machine learning to reveal and align previously untapped real estate opportunities for buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and the industry as a whole. The company positions itself as making off-market inventory accessible where "off-market is no longer off-limits." Its product targets multiple stakeholders across real estate—buyers, sellers and agents—by identifying opportunities not visible through traditional channels. Following its Pitch HearstLab New York presentation, UNLISTED won a $100,000 investment from HearstLab and will receive hands-on support from the Lab. HearstLab indicated it will plug UNLISTED into its broader network to help scale the business. For more information the article directs readers to https://unlistedhomes.com.

  • SupportPay

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2023

    SupportPay provides a web and mobile platform for divorced, single, step, co-parents, and caregivers to manage and exchange shared expenses, child support, custody, schedules, and communications. Users can view, pay, and document every bill and shared expense and receive a certified record for compliance, court, and tax purposes. The app serves more than 75,000 consumers worldwide and is offered as an employee benefit for global brands like Hearst. The company plans to use the funds to expand operations, deliver additional payment options for families, expedite enterprise adoption, and expand its offering to support any family member involved in sharing, managing, and tracking expenses and schedules. Led by founder and CEO Sheri Atwood, SupportPay supports both web and mobile access. The company is based in Charlotte, NC and aims to grow adoption among employers and families. SupportPay operates an online platform that tracks and manages child and spousal support, automating payment tracking, billing, receipt management, payments and producing a certified record. The service enables parents to share expenses and provides organized documentation that benefits family lawyers and has reduced court time. Founder Sheri Atwood rebuilt the product after purchasing the company's assets following liquidation and refocused the business on revenue and increasing paid users. During the COVID-19 pandemic daily registrations tripled and demand for child support modifications increased six-fold, with divorce filings expected to jump 50% early next year. To meet that demand the company is seeking outside financing to build family-law infrastructure and expand marketing to courts, family lawyers, and mediators; it also hired Erika Englund as chief strategy officer. SupportPay provides a platform to automate child support payments and enable parents to share and track additional expenses such as medical, child care, education, and extracurricular activities. The service manages base payments, tracks shared expenses, lets parents pay one another through the app, keep detailed records, set payment reminders, dispute or approve charges, and print court-certified documents. The platform is available online and via mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as tablets. Led by Founder & CEO Sheri Atwood and CTO/COO Jyoti Das, the company currently has nearly 40,000 users. SupportPay has raised over $7m since 2014 and recently closed a new financing to support growth. The company will use the funds to expand its team and ramp up marketing to reach parents, family law professionals, and government agencies across the country. SupportPay provides a platform to automate child support payments and let parents submit, share and pay child-related expenses. The platform allows a parent to manage monthly child support payments, submit additional expenses with attached receipts, and lets the other parent review items and make or schedule payments directly. It stores complete child-support information and provides a certified record suitable for court or tax purposes. SupportPay is available as a web, Android and iOS application. The company, led by Founder & CEO Sheri Atwood and based in Santa Clara, CA, closed an additional $1.5M funding round and has raised $2.6M to date. It plans to use the funds to support growth, expand channels and enhance the platform’s features. SupportPay provides a private, secure platform to standardize billing and automate payments for shared child-related expenses—medical, child care, education and other costs not covered by court orders. The product includes expense tracking, reminders and transparent access to transactions, and is available online and as Android and iOS apps. SupportPay offers both a free tier and a subscription option and was built on the Salesforce1 Platform. The service was beta-tested by Ittavi in January and officially launched roughly three-and-a-half months before the article; it reports about 2,100 users across Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. The company cites a large market opportunity (Atwood notes 39 million divorced couples in North America exchanging over $200 billion and a nearly $1 trillion global market) and says there are no competing services addressing this space.
