  • Dopl Technologies

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Dopl Technologies develops a distributed telerobotic ultrasound ecosystem that includes Traverse (a remote robotic ultrasound system), Dopl Connect (a secure connectivity and data platform), and SonoFlex (a distributed clinical workforce and workflow management solution). The company also operates an interim service, CareBridge, which provides traveling sonographer coverage and has delivered up to a 90% reduction in patient wait times where it operates. Dopl has completed FDA pre-submission engagement, established a 510(k) regulatory pathway, and holds patented technology. The business estimates a significant market opportunity, citing a roughly $40 billion annual reimbursement opportunity for U.S. hospitals as telerobotic imaging scales. With more than $8 million in total funding following its $6.3 million seed, Dopl is pursuing product verification, clinical evaluation, regulatory clearance, and initial pilot deployments. The team, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Bothell, includes clinicians and engineers with experience from organizations such as Butterfly Network, Philips, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA.

  • Osyte

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2024

    Osyte develops an AI-powered technology platform that automates and optimizes multi-asset portfolio management across public and private securities. Its platform supports liquidity management of hedge funds and private market commitments, AI/ML-powered portfolio optimization, risk and exposure analytics, rebalancing, and streamlined trading for liquid and illiquid assets. The company targets roughly 50,000 single-family offices, multi-family offices, and institutional fund managers who face growing complexity as capital shifts into alternative investments. Osyte claims customers can expect an 80% reduction in operational overhead tied to managing multi-asset portfolios when using its platform. The founding team brings significant portfolio management expertise from one of the industry's largest outsourced CIOs, having managed billions for endowments, foundations, and pension funds. Osyte plans to use new capital to expand go-to-market capabilities, accelerate its AI product roadmap, and scale its client management team to meet demand.

  • BoldHue

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2024

    BoldHue builds a countertop “Keurig for makeup” device that scans the face with a wand and dispenses a week’s worth of custom foundation blended from five pigments. The device is priced at $295 and pairs with a companion app that alerts users when pigment cartridges need refills (roughly $15–$20 each). A starter kit includes the first month of foundation and accessories; BoldHue will also offer a premium package for makeup artists. In the near term the company plans a nationwide roadshow and will ship 10,000 units to a 40,000-person waitlist before general availability. Longer-term plans include a virtual try-on app, broader personalization options, and expansion into other makeup categories and partner formulations. To date BoldHue has raised roughly $5 million in total capital.

  • FarmHQ

    Participated · Seed · Mar 2024

    FarmHQ, formerly CODA Farm Technologies, was founded in 2020 by brothers David and Connor Wallace and is based north of Seattle. The company adds IoT sensors and controls to existing irrigation pumps, valves and flow meters and delivers real-time irrigation data to a cell-phone dashboard. Its system supports a wide range of sprinkler setups and is designed to reduce manual labor, prevent flooding, and improve water efficiency. Last year FarmHQ’s devices helped save approximately 365 million gallons of water across roughly 40,000 acres. The business has eight employees plus a network of dealers and is operating in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and has a pilot deployment in Australia; farm accounts and dealer partners have each grown roughly fourfold and revenue is up fourfold year over year. Customer retention is high, with a reported 95% contract renewal rate, and the company plans to pursue a Series A. CODA Farm Technologies develops hardware and a software platform that controls traveling-sprinkler irrigation systems and streams real-time irrigation data to a cellphone dashboard. The company was founded in 2020 by siblings who returned to their family potato farm in Western Washington’s Skagit Valley after careers in data science and technology. Their system modulates flow to prevent stalls and field flooding and provides remote monitoring. The startup has navigated supply-chain challenges that required design changes to obscure parts. CODA has sold 120 devices to 20 farms across eight U.S. states and Canadian provinces and collected data from 3,000 irrigation activities. Based on that data, their technology saved 21 million gallons of water and 4,300 gallons of diesel; the new capital will fund scaling production, geographic expansion, R&D and data collection, and the team of five may double in 2022 with some fulfillment shifting to Seattle.

  • Charmed

    Led · Equity · Jan 2024

    Charmed is a Seattle-based startup developing an AI-powered 3D game design toolbox that generates character models, textures, and animations. The company plans to launch a new AI-powered tool this month that creates 3D character models from scratch via prompt-driven workflows. The new tool comprises a Geometry Generator, a Texture Generator, and a Character Animator that together produce models, clothing/skins, and sample animations. Charmed’s product portfolio also includes Dream Dungeon (an isometric maze generator), a quest generator, and an AI texture generator for colorful skins. Founder Jeremy Tryba positions the company as a set of tools to help 3D artists work in parallel and shorten development times rather than a full no-code game-design solution. Charmed spun out of Madrona Venture Labs and was founded last year; Madrona provided its first round of funding.
