• Amini

  Participated · Seed · May 2023

  Amini aggregates satellite data with sensors, research and ground-truthing to deliver environmental insights on biodiversity, soil and crop health and to track farming practices such as water and fertilizer use. Its platform enables real-time monitoring tools and machine-learning models for use cases including flood detection and supply-chain transparency. Amini can provide historical environmental data up to 20 years and counts enterprise clients in agriculture and insurance, including Aon. The company is targeting food and beverage and consumer packaged goods firms to help multinationals transform supply chains toward regenerative practices amid new U.S. and European disclosure regulations. Founder and CEO Kate Kallot, who previously held tech roles at Nvidia and Intel, says Amini aims to be a pure platform play that empowers developers to build solutions for African communities. The startup plans to scale data access and transparency to increase economic inclusion for farmers and rebalance value in commodity supply chains. Amini has built a data aggregation platform that ingests satellites, weather feeds, sensors and customer data and unifies it down to a square meter before delivering processed outputs via APIs. The platform can provide nearly 20 years of historical data and current updates produced every two weeks, and can surface granular farm-level metrics (planting-to-harvest cycles, water and fertilizer use) as well as continent-scale insights on flooding, drought and natural disasters. Its primary customers today are corporations and multinationals in agricultural insurance and last-mile supply chain monitoring, with the company in discussions with major food & beverage firms and a large global insurance company. Amini says its product is designed to be highly scalable and to allow reuse of agricultural datasets across insurance, supply-chain and government buyers. The startup was accepted into the Seraphim Space Accelerator and positions itself as a lower-cost alternative to some satellite data providers. Leadership includes founder and CEO Kate Kallot, who has prior AI and deep-tech experience at Arm, Intel and Nvidia, and an executive team with backgrounds at Microsoft, NASA and MTN. The company operates a long sales cycle: international clients receive API access after paying a flat multi-million-dollar two-year license, while local clients are offered tiered introductory pricing.

• Arcade

  Participated · Seed · Oct 2022

  Arcade operates a web3 gaming platform designed to democratize blockchain gaming by removing the high upfront cost of purchasing native NFTs such as land or character assets. Through its Mission Pools, community members—known as “Arcadians”—can contribute capital and share in play-to-earn yields, while designated operators handle the in-game activity across multiple chains. This model opens GameFi participation to passive users who lack the time or gaming skills to earn directly. The company positions itself as a bridge between DeFi and GameFi, offering exposure to blockchain gaming ecosystems for both casual spectators and avid gamers. Backers such as Solana Ventures highlight Arcade’s role in connecting DeFi yield generation with gaming incentives on Solana. Arcade plans to use newly raised capital to accelerate product development and expand access to global users.
