- Prosper Medical
Participated · Seed · Jul 2026
Prosper Medical operates an AI-enabled concierge primary care platform that aggregates patient health data, maintains continuity across interactions, coordinates care, and augments physician workflows with an AI care layer. Founded by Ryan McQuaid and Dr. James Wantuck (the founders of PlushCare), the company aims to deliver a personalized physician relationship at scale. Prosper is available to patients in all 50 states and is in-network with many major insurance plans. In its first months of operation the company has grown to serve thousands of members. Leadership frames the product as augmenting, not replacing, clinicians—combining Prosper AI, a Care Concierge Team, and doctors who arrive with patient context. The company plans to use recent financing to expand its physician network, further develop its AI platform, and accelerate market expansion.
- Findigs
Participated · Series C · Jun 2026
Findigs develops automated screening and underwriting software that processes rental applications to deliver instant, data-grounded leasing decisions and contractual fraud guarantees. The company’s platform is AI-native and has scaled to manage over 400,000 residential units. Leadership includes Co-Founder and CEO Steve Carroll, VP of Product Chris Diamond, and board member Hugh R. Frater. Findigs plans to expand capabilities for LIHTC and Section 8 affordable-housing workflows and to launch Rent Guarantee products for operators. Financially, the company has raised a total of $80M following the $32M Series C. The business is headquartered in New York City.
- Panthalassa
Participated · Series B · May 2026
Panthalassa builds self-propelled, autonomous floating nodes that capture wave energy to generate continuous clean electricity and run AI inference computing onboard, transmitting results to land via low-Earth-orbit satellites. The company has spent about a decade developing its power generation, propulsion, autonomy, and at-sea computing technologies and demonstrated capabilities with Ocean-1, Ocean-2, and Wavehopper prototypes in 2021 and 2024. Panthalassa plans to deploy its Ocean-3 pilot node series in the northern Pacific in 2026 to demonstrate AI inference at sea and to refine manufacturing ahead of commercial deployments in 2027. The platform uses the ocean for free supercooling to extend chip lifetimes and avoids transmitting power to shore by performing computing onboard. The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and recently raised $140 million in a Series B to complete a pilot manufacturing facility and accelerate initial deployments.
- Lucra Sports
Participated · Series B · Apr 2026
Lucra Sports operates a B2B platform that transforms corporate loyalty programs into interactive, eSports-style events such as tournaments where customers can play each other and potentially bet or win cash and company giveaways. The company sells this gamified loyalty product to businesses and counts customers such as Five Iron Golf, Chess Kings, and Dave & Busters. Lucra positions itself as a provider of interactive, gamified loyalty experiences rather than a consumer-facing game operator. Founder and CEO Dylan Robbins engaged directly with lead investor ARK during multiple diligence conversations ahead of the Series B. ARK described Lucra's financials as promising and highlighted the company's B2B model as a key differentiator from prior players in the space. The articles do not disclose specific revenue, user metrics, founding year, location, or detailed plans for the new capital.
- Mesta
Participated · Seed · Oct 2025
Mesta operates a hybrid fiat + stablecoin payment network designed to eliminate the traditional trade-off between speed and cost in cross-border transactions. Its platform supports USD, EUR, GBP, USDC, USDT, USDG, PYUSD and 40+ local currencies, converting them via native local rails that do not require pre-funded pools. Enterprises use Mesta for bill payments, payroll, supply-chain disbursements and same-name on/off-ramps, achieving settlement in minutes and fee reductions of more than 50%. Since launching in 2024, the company has processed over $140 million in total payment volume and now averages about $3 million in daily volume, with a projection to exceed $300 million TPV by year-end. Founded by former Uber, PayPal and BILL executive Sandeep Pyapali, the San-Francisco-based startup combines regulated fiat corridors with blockchain efficiency. The newly raised capital will be applied to expanding product features, growing international teams and accelerating worldwide adoption of its network.
