  • Brekfuz

    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Brekfuz builds an AI-native coordination platform that unifies fragmented organisational information across tools like Slack, email, meeting notes, documents, GitHub repositories and project management systems. The platform automatically maps ownership, responsibilities and domain expertise to create a structured, searchable knowledge layer that links answers to original source material. Users and AI systems can pose natural-language queries across integrated enterprise systems to retrieve context-backed answers, reducing reliance on individual employees and repetitive status meetings. Brekfuz aims to eliminate knowledge silos, speed decision-making, and improve operational efficiency as organisations adopt AI across workflows. The company positions itself as foundational infrastructure for the AI-first workplace and intends to use recent funding to enhance its product, platform and expansion efforts. Brekfuz was co-founded by Arhan Singhal and Sarthak Ahuja.

  • 222

    Participated · Seed · Nov 2022

    Founded in 2020 by Keyan K., Danial Hashemi, and Arman Roshannai, 222 positions itself as the “default social facilitator,” using detailed questionnaires and a proprietary AI model to match users into intimate dinners, drinks, and group activities. The goal is to maximize the probability of an in-real-life future by stripping away the friction of deciding what to do and with whom. While not a dating app, the service can connect people romantically if mutual interest emerges after an event. The product keeps technology largely in the background, surfacing only when needed to coordinate logistics. 222 is currently live in ten U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The company focuses on driving meaningful offline engagement rather than screen time. To fund continued expansion and product development, 222 has secured a $10.1 million Series A; no operating metrics such as revenue or user numbers were disclosed in the announcement.
