Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
DexMat builds Galvorn, a proprietary conductive material that combines metal-like electrical conductivity with the low weight and flexibility of advanced fibers, enabling new system designs across aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and consumer technology sectors. The company’s material aims to mitigate traditional trade-offs between conductivity, weight, and mechanical strength, opening opportunities for lighter wiring, EMI shielding, and structural components. Current customers from multiple industries are already evaluating the product, and the commercial pipeline is reportedly adding new prospects each month. With fresh seed capital, DexMat plans to scale from lab production to pilot-scale manufacturing in order to meet near-term demand. Proceeds will also fund the expansion of technical and commercial teams to accelerate customer onboarding and product development. The leadership team includes CEO Bryan Guido Hassin, CTO Dmitri Tsentalovich, and CSO Matteo Pasquali. To date, DexMat has secured over $5 million in funding, providing early financial momentum for its scale-up goals.

Participated · Seed · Oct 2025
Class 3 Technologies is a San Francisco–based spin-out from global engineering firm Arup that transforms deep structural-engineering know-how into scalable SaaS. Its flagship platform, Iris, converts advanced damage-and-loss models into actionable insights, allowing users to quantify individual building vulnerabilities and simulate the benefits of resilience interventions against earthquakes, extreme weather, and other climate-driven hazards. By providing granular, component-level assessments that go beyond high-level insurance averages, Iris helps corporations, real-estate owners, developers, and insurers make confident site-selection, acquisition, retrofit, and design decisions. The product has already been adopted in stealth by leading technology companies, investors, and consultants. Management is led by founder and CEO Ibbi Almufti, a former head of Arup’s Risk and Resilience practice, and is supported by a team with enterprise B2B SaaS and venture-building experience. With fresh seed capital, the company plans to scale Iris’s reach and accelerate product development to catalyze global climate-resilience action.
