Guepard offers a cloud-native data management platform that brings Git-style version control to large-scale enterprise data. Its core features include instant branching, snapshots, and time-travel capabilities, allowing teams to copy a terabyte of data in five seconds instead of the traditional ten hours. The company has also introduced a Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets AI agents work on isolated, fully auditable data copies and safely roll back changes, addressing a key barrier to enterprise AI adoption. The platform is delivered as a self-service product, giving every new user a free AWS-backed server to test and host data. Fueled by its recent funding, Guepard plans to deploy across 25–30 enterprise customers in the U.S. and Europe within the next 12–18 months. The $2.1 million pre-seed round is expected to fund two to three years of growth, during which many of the round’s operator-investors will advise on product roadmap and customer introductions. Headquartered in San Francisco with operations in Europe and the Middle East, Guepard aims to establish product-market fit for the “age of AI agents.”

Plino is a Turin-based startup that applies generative AI to unify and analyse SMEs’ fragmented financial data—covering accounting, costs, revenue, and cash flow—on a single platform. Its software delivers real-time dashboards, liquidity forecasts, profitability insights, and automatically generated reports, replacing the manual spreadsheet processes common in smaller businesses. Launched less than a year ago, the company already serves more than 100 Italian SMEs across manufacturing, services, food, hospitality, and construction. Customers gain faster, evidence-based decision-making capabilities, reducing reliance on instinct. Plino plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate development of additional AI features such as advanced cash-flow forecasting, natural-language report generation, and granular product- or project-level profitability analysis. The funds will also support expansion of its product, technology, and sales teams and the strengthening of partnerships with professional firms and trade associations. The founding team—Pietro Galimberti, Viola Bonesu, and Enrico Castelli—combine expertise in philosophy, engineering, finance, and AI, embodying the company’s cross-disciplinary approach to innovation.
