Industry: Network Performance Management

ElastiFlow is revolutionizing network management by creating the “network trace.” For the first time ever, enterprises can tie together application and network traces to quickly answer the age-old question of “is the problem the network or the application?” Just like distributed application tracing, the ElastiFlow trace enables users to understand the performance of the network by seeing the usage and consumption rather than just capacity and bandwidth.

Industry: Autonomous Red Teaming

Assail is building the future of adversarial exposure validation and autonomous red teaming for your APIs, mobile apps, and web apps, founded on one truth: those who are protecting organizations do not think the same as those who attack organizations. Assail built Ares, an agentic specialist that thinks like an attacker by adapting in real time to discover all of the cracks before someone else does. Ares deploys hundreds of coordinated agents, trains herself mid-operation, and communicates that knowledge to other agents who act as members of your red team.

Industry: Autonomous Software Development

Blitzy is a code generation solution that ingests millions of lines of existing code for enterprise customers to build a comprehensive codebase map, then automates each step of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The platform forms a knowledge graph, creates the blueprint, captures the intent of any additional developer request, then creates an execution plan for the enterprise. The result is improved code and functionality at a fraction of traditional development time and cost, all with improved effectiveness. Designed for enterprise scale, the AI-powered platform self-learns, using 3,000+ agents to plan, build, and validate code so that projects are delivered with end-to-end tested output.

Industry: GPU Job Migration Infrastructure

Cedana provides a layer of abstraction across GPUs, allowing enterprises to pause, stop and move AI workloads across GPUs based on capacity. As the demand for computing surges without sufficient supply, massive amounts of compute are being wasted. Additionally, because the model’s working memory is tied to the GPUs memory, workloads have become impossible to move across GPUs. Cedana eliminates these constraints, unlocking reliability, performance, and the ability to resume jobs across AI workloads.

Investment Round: Series A

Industry: Identity Governance

Clarity Security provides an Identity Governance platform (IGA) for hybrid environments, designed to simplify access management, user access reviews, and identity lifecycle management by automating processes and offering an intuitive interface. Clarity makes identity governance easier for organizations by reducing manual work and providing comprehensive reporting capabilities to meet audit requirements.

Investment Round: Series A

Industry: Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)

Compyl goes beyond automating compliance - it harnesses your rich data to provide contextual GRC insights to strengthen compliance and mitigate risk. With intelligent guidance, flexible automation and granular reporting, you can be proactive and more strategic while maximizing resources. With Compyl, you are not just meeting standards‒you are building a stronger, more resilient security foundation across your organization.

Industry: DevSecOps

Hoop.dev turns infrastructure access, for engineers and AI agents alike, from a risk into a competitive advantage. Hoop.dev is the only solution that enforces security policy on live access to prevent data leaks, downtime, and compliance violations, so teams deliver applications faster and more securely. With hoop.dev, the fastest path is also the safest one.

Industry: Agent Reliability Infrastructure

EON improves AI agents' reliability, speed and token usage by turning their most repetitive work into consistent, verifiable behavior. It identifies recurring subtasks inside an agent's execution and replays them from a verified cache instead of recomputing them. Each replay turns probabilistic generation into a deterministic run. EON verifies that the reused result matches exactly what the model would have produced before it is used, removing the run-to-run variance that makes agents unpredictable. The result is agents you can actually trust, running faster at a fraction of the cost.

Investment Round: Series A

Industry: Virtual Edge Management

IO River empowers customers to provide best in class application performance and reliability at the lowest cost by providing a "virtual edge" for their applications. For the first time ever, customers can seamlessly switch their applications across content delivery platforms without service interruptions or negative security implications. This new ability creates performance improvements, unique reliability in the face of outages, and improved cost management.

Investment Round: Series A

Industry: Digital Fraud Prevention

Memcyco stops ATO fraud upstream by infiltrating the attack timeline in its early stages. Memcyco’s agentless technology utilizes proprietary sensors to disrupt fraudulent activity, slashing fraud losses, reducing operational expenses, and safeguarding digital trust without user friction.

Industry: Distributed Application Tracing

Odigos automates application tracing with unrivaled performance and ecosystem coverage. By simplifying rapid OTEL implementation, Odigos is redefining tracing for enterprises, providing the most comprehensive visibility across your entire architecture.

Investment Round: Series Seed

Industry: Data Integration and Analysis

Precog is the context engine for enterprise AI: the missing layer between enterprise data and the AI models companies are racing to deploy. Precog automatically extracts, models, and contextualizes data from any enterprise application, so organizations get accurate, auditable answers immediately, without months of manual data engineering. And unlike static semantic layers, Precog learns with every interaction, taking you from zero to insights quickly.

Industry: Unstructured Data Security

Ray Security is the first and only preemptive data security solution. Predicting how data will be used, it enforces access controls before risk arises and reduces insider, ransomware, and AI-related exposures across cloud and hybrid systems.

Investment Round: Series Seed

Industry: Cybersecurity

SpartanX is the first Autonomous Exposure Management (AEM) platform: an agentic adversary that maps a company’s entire internal and external attack surface, continuously finding new, critical exploit paths that were previously undiscovered. SpartanX runs autonomously but remains under the customer’s full control. Every finding is exploit-validated, assessed for real-time business impact, and re-tested upon remediation.

Industry: Product Collaboration Software

VibeIQ provides the decision layer for retail product creation. It helps teams decide which products to develop, refine, localize, or cut before those decisions reach PLM, sampling, sourcing, or the buy. By bringing creative direction, commercial goals, regional input, and margin context into one live workspace, VibeIQ helps teams make better product decisions earlier, sample with more discipline, and move forward with greater confidence.

Industry: Compute Profiling

Zymtrace continuously profiles application code through both CPU and GPU environments to provide observability into resource utilization for faster troubleshooting and improved resource management. Leveraging the new capabilities of eBPF, combined with their custom stack unwinder, Zymtrace automatically instruments and collects profiling data with a 0.1% overhead. This enables their customers to continuously collect observability data, building detailed profiles over time across both CPUs and GPUs. The result: complete data, faster remediation, increased visibility, and improved resource utilization.
