• Resonant Link

  Participated · Seed · Feb 2022

  Resonant Link develops high-performance wireless charging systems built around a multi-layer self-resonant structure (MSRS) to power implantable medical devices and electrify robotics, material handling, and electric vehicle fleets. The MSRS design delivers substantially higher performance, faster charge speeds, lower normalized cost, and reduced weight and size versus existing technologies, and supports implant depths up to six times deeper while meeting FDA temperature limits. The platform claims 99% efficient wireless links and 20× higher recharge rates, enabling smaller on-board batteries and continuous 24/7 fleet operation by recharging during short stops. Resonant Link plans to expand its teams and operations in Vermont, Massachusetts, and California in 2022 and will use new capital for strategic hiring, product development, and customer deployment. The company partners with U.S. defense and research programs and has secured customers across sectors, including six Fortune 500 companies. In the past 12 months the company was profitable, grew revenue 6× year-over-year, and doubled its customer base; seven medical partners are designing its wireless power into implantables and 13 fleets have signed initial deployments. Resonant Link builds wireless chargers using its MSRS technology, which it says achieves 5–10x lower losses than conventional approaches and enables higher speed, smaller size, longer range, and competitive cost per watt. The MSRS was invented at Dartmouth College in 2013 and the company has demonstrated the technology with customers in medical devices, consumer electronics, and electric mobility. Resonant Link says its coils are SAE J2954-compliant for automotive charging and will work with NREL to independently validate performance gains. The company is positioning its chargers to enable onboard-battery shrinkage by recharging vehicles during short stops in operation to extend range. Resonant Link lists partners and backers including the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, Cyclotron Road / Activate, Stanford University, Dartmouth College, Urban Us, and Scout Ventures. The company is based in Vermont and California and describes its team as a mix of Ph.D. engineers, industry veterans, and ex-founders focused on accelerating electrification across multi-billion-dollar markets.

• Covetool

  Participated · Series B · Dec 2021

  cove.tool is an Atlanta-based B2B SaaS that gives architects, engineers and contractors a way to input project and site details and receive automated recommendations to optimize daylighting, HVAC, solar and materials. Powered by machine learning, the software measures a wide range of building-performance metrics, aims to reduce construction costs and democratize data-driven design by doing in 30 minutes what once took 2–4 weeks. The company launched a beta of its software in August 2017 and today supports more than 25,000 projects and over 15,000 users across 30 countries, including firms such as HDR, AECOM, Skanska and Stora Enso. cove.tool says it offset 28.5 million tons of carbon this year and employs about 60 people; it is not yet profitable but the CEO said it could be if it stopped scaling operations. The startup plans to expand its product suite, add integrations across the architecture, engineering and construction ecosystem, and scale sales and marketing in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and the EU. Its core competitors are consultants performing similar work manually, and the company positions itself as simplifying material selection and building simulation to enable low‑carbon, cost‑optimal choices. cove.tool develops software that automates and optimizes building-design decisions to improve energy efficiency, lower costs, and reduce embodied carbon. Its core product models energy consumption and other factors (light, glare, radiation, water, embodied carbon) and can cut a manual 150-hour analysis to about 30 minutes. The platform is used by thousands of architects, engineers, contractors and developers across 22 countries and is taught at universities including Georgia Tech, Cal Poly, University of Illinois and UNC Charlotte. Recent product updates include an occupancy tool to evaluate designs for reducing airborne disease spread. The company plans to expand global sales and marketing, build new projects and launch a marketplace of energy-efficient materials. Cove.tool has amassed a database of over 1,000 products from hundreds of vendors and aims to streamline workflows from architects to contractors. Cove.Tool offers an automated, parametric energy-modeling platform that ingests granular project inputs and outputs optimal resource combinations and visual analyses to meet building energy-efficiency requirements. The product targets architects, engineers and contractors, aiming to democratize energy modeling that traditionally required costly consultants and long turnaround times. The founding team includes former architects and energy-modeling consultants Patrick Chopson and Sandeep Ajuha, with Daniel Chopson as CTO. The company already serves several large architecture firms, including HGA, HKS and Cooper Carry, and reports customer outcomes such as a developer identifying $2 million in cost savings versus an original model. With the recent seed close, Cove.Tool plans to enhance its sales effort and continue developing additional platform features. The company frames its mission as changing decision-making in the building industry to reduce emissions “one building at a time.”

• OneRoof

  Participated · Seed · Oct 2021

  OneRoof is a hyperlocal social network app that helps people living in the same apartment building connect around shared interests, organize in-person events, and exchange goods and information. The free, pre-revenue product relies on volunteer “Super Neighbors” to seed and moderate building communities and offers features including improved user profiles, a neighbor directory, event hosting, and a “grow” tool for creating communities. Since 2021 OneRoof expanded from 400 buildings to over 1,300 buildings with more than 40,000 active neighbors across New York City and Miami, and it has done a soft launch in Dallas. Engagement metrics show strong retention in Super Neighbor buildings—over 78% at 12 weeks and over 65% at 24 weeks—and a 20% month-over-month user increase, plus three times more in-person events in Q4 versus the prior quarter. The company has been scaling its team (adding four hires and recruiting two more) while remaining pre-revenue and plans to invest new capital into app development, software, sponsorships and marketing. CEO Selin Sonmez and co-founder Nikos Georgantas are focused on growing product adoption to reach more urban neighbors and build more resilient local communities. OneRoof builds a social network focused on residents of individual multi-unit buildings, offering Slack-like messaging hubs and topic-based sub-communities to help neighbors communicate and organize. The app emphasizes smaller, tighter-knit building communities rather than ZIP-code or neighborhood-level networks. It relies on volunteer "super neighbors" for onboarding and uses proprietary join codes, fliers and door hangers to enroll residents. OneRoof is live in around 400 buildings in New York City and plans to expand to Boston, Miami and Los Angeles. The company deliberately avoids deep partnerships with building management, citing past failures of manager-moderated groups. It raised a $1.25M seed to carry out this vision.
