Round: Seed + Series A

Lead Investor: Coatue, Canaan Partners

Sumble is a sales intelligence platform that maps what’s happening inside a company using public data.

Its crawlers scan job boards, company blogs, regulatory filings, social channels, to synthesize the signals into a knowledge graph for LLMs. Reps can see which tools are being used in which departments, who owns specific initiatives, what’s being procured, and when buying windows are likely to open. The platform delivers this context through a web app and API, with optional CRM and workflow integrations.

2/3

Amount: $12M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Factory

Gimlet Labs is building a scheduler that splits AI workloads across different chips to cut cost and boost throughput.

Their platform disaggregates AI workloads into component stages and assigns each to the optimal hardware. Compute-bound tasks go to high-throughput GPUs, memory-bound tasks to high-bandwidth accelerators, and network-bound tasks to fast-interconnect nodes.

3/3

Amount: $6M 🎉

Round: Seed

Shuttle is an AI platform engineer that turns vibe-coded applications into production systems.
