Founded in mid-2023, Gumloop offers a model-agnostic, no-code agent-builder that empowers any employee to create AI agents capable of executing multi-step workflows without engineering support. The platform is already used inside organizations such as Shopify, Ramp, Gusto, Samsara, Instacart, and Opendoor, where staff can publish the agents they create, compounding automation across teams. Gumloop’s ease of use and ability to tap whichever foundation model best suits a given task have driven high engagement compared with rival tools like Zapier, n8n, Dust, and Anthropic’s Claude Co-Work. The company’s vision is to make every enterprise “AI native,” and early customer feedback indicates employees adopt the product quickly and use it daily or weekly. With rising enterprise demand, co-founder Max Brodeur-Urbas now plans to build out a dedicated sales organization and expand the engineering team. Gumloop positions its model independence as both a performance hedge and a way for customers to optimize the AI credits they already hold. While the article does not disclose revenue figures, the rapid uptake among marquee customers underscores significant commercial traction.

Orb builds a billing platform that consolidates raw product usage and lets customers define flexible pricing logic, serving as a single source of truth for finance organizations. The company supports usage-based and consumption-based plans and provides workflows for payments and invoicing. Founders Alvaro Morales and Kshitij Grover created Orb after experiencing inflexible legacy billing tools while at Asana. Orb's revenue grew close to 5x in the past year and its customer base tripled to include Vercel, Replit, Pinecone, and Perplexity. The startup employs 36 people, most of whom are San Francisco-based, and still has cash on hand from a Series A it closed last March. Orb plans to use new funding to build an AI-powered pricing recommendation engine and to hire roughly 15 people by the end of the year. Orb provides an end-to-end pricing and revenue platform that spans metering, flexible pricing and packaging iteration, invoicing, reporting, and revenue recognition. The product targets the shift from subscriptions to usage-based and hybrid pricing models by giving engineering, product, sales, revops, and finance teams a single system of record. Orb aims to reduce the engineering burden of building billing infrastructure in-house and to enable pricing experimentation that unlocks revenue. The company highlights customers such as Airbyte, Dune, and Materialize as examples of high-growth B2B tech companies using its platform. Orb positions itself to accelerate cross-functional revenue goals through automation, accuracy, and real-time insights. Financially, Orb announced a $14M Series A and, with a prior $5.1M seed, has raised $19.1M in total.

Runwise offers a vertically integrated smart control platform that automates building operations by combining proprietary wireless hardware with cloud-based software to optimize heating, cooling, electric, and water systems. The platform enables rapid deployment with a typical payback period of under five months and delivers measurable ROI and operational simplicity. Runwise is installed in more than 10,000 buildings across the U.S. and serves upwards of 1,000 customers, having saved customers over $100 million in energy costs to date. The company reports growth of over 30X since its seed round and says it is on track to nearly double again this year. Runwise plans to use new capital to support product innovation, expand its team, and enter new core markets. The company positions itself as a large private-sector reducer of carbon emissions and a leader in scaling smart infrastructure across real estate portfolios. Runwise provides building control services using intelligent, easy-to-install wireless hardware and software to optimize heating and other key building systems. Its platform is installed in over 4,000 buildings and serves almost 400 customers, including large owners and operators such as Related, Blackstone, Lefrak, Equity Residential, Fairstead, and Douglas Elliman. Runwise says its service controls key building systems in thousands of buildings across 10 states and delivered an average 20.1% reduction in fossil fuel emissions in retrofitted buildings last year. Energy savings typically pay for the system within a handful of months, and the company expects its growth this year will remove the equivalent of nearly 100,000 cars' worth of carbon emissions. Financially, Runwise has raised $19 million in a Series A and now has $24 million in total equity funding. The company plans to use the new capital to expand operations and deploy its technology more broadly across the U.S. to increase building efficiency, lower costs, and reduce fossil fuel emissions. Runwise develops wireless sensors and a controller computer that retrofit decades-old heating controls to reduce energy consumption and costs. Its sensors claim a 10-year battery life and the system takes charge of boilers and heating previously run by timers or static logic. The company says average install payback from reduced heating bills is around nine months. Runwise has been bootstrapping for a decade and its tech is already deployed in roughly 4,000 buildings serving more than 300,000 people. Customers include large real estate operators such as Related, Blackstone, Lefrak, Equity Residential, Douglas Elliman and Fairstead. The company plans to use new funding to enter a phase of hyper growth and pursue a vision of dramatically cutting building carbon and improving affordability at scale, targeting many more of the ~12 million U.S. buildings.
