• Neurable

  Participated · Equity · May 2024

  Neurable develops patented signal-processing technology, branded Neurable AI, that translates brain signals into actionable data on focus, distraction, mental fatigue and cognitive recovery.

The company plans to embed its platform across broader cognitive-health and human-performance markets, with near-term emphasis on gaming and e-sports where marginal improvements in concentration and reaction time can be decisive. Beyond consumer applications, Neurable supplies research-grade headsets via a partnership with human-behavior platform iMotions and is working with MeSpace on adaptive workstations. Management positions the company to lead a projected $52 billion global BCI market by 2034 through ethical, accessible brain data tools.

• Gridware

  Participated · Seed · Jun 2023

  Gridware is a San-Francisco-based grid-technology company whose pole-mounted Gridscope devices capture mechanical, electrical, and environmental data to enable Active Grid Response (AGR). Tens of thousands of these sensors are already installed on U.S. distribution poles, and the firm’s utility partners collectively serve roughly 40% of American electricity customers. The system pinpoints the location and cause of faults, helping crews respond faster and, in some cases, avoid failures altogether. Early deployments include Duquesne Light Company, which rolled out 1,700 additional devices after a successful pilot and subsequently won a PUF innovation award. With the fresh capital, Gridware plans to expand manufacturing capacity, scale deployment operations, and hire across hardware, firmware, software, data science, and machine-learning teams. The company is also preparing for international pilots in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Ultimately, Gridware aims to help utilities worldwide improve reliability without expensive system overhauls.

• Optery

  Participated · Seed · May 2023

  Optery provides a freemium opt-out service that scans hundreds of data brokers, delivers reports with deep links and screenshots, and offers paid monthly or yearly subscriptions to automatically opt users out and monitor reappearances. Its patented internal search engine and crawler evade data brokers' anti-bot protections to discover information other engines miss. Since launch about a year and a half ago, Optery's coverage has grown from roughly 150 sites to about 240. The company is positioning itself to build a broader data rights management platform that lets consumers dictate how companies may use their data, citing AI's growing appetite for data as a driver. Its product is used for general privacy protection and in sensitive cases, such as helping victims of domestic violence remove location traces. To pursue this roadmap Optery recently raised new seed funding, bringing total investment to $6 million.
