TOP PICKS 📢

1/4

→ Laurel

Amount: $100M 🎉

Round: Series C

Lead Investor: IVP

Laurel is an AI timekeeping platform to capture how professionals spend their time across various tools and workflows.

It integrates with email, documents, calendars, messaging apps and uses AI models on each professional’s workflows to identify, group and narrate micro-activities into work segments linked to specific matters, clients or projects. The system then enriches those segments with contextual descriptions suitable for invoices, forecasts and profitability analysis.

Why IVP invested in them

2/4

→ Sintra

Amount: $17M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Earlybird VC

Sintra offers AI employees to help SMBs automate operational workflows.

Their AI helpers manage business functions such as social media posting, customer support responses, and administrative tasks. Each AI helper operates within a workspace equipped with a chat interface, an inbox, and built-in automations. The intelligence behind all helpers is powered by Brain AI, a shared knowledge layer that learns over time.

Notably, the company has grown to $12M+ in ARR.

3/4

→ Maze

Amount: $25M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Theory Ventures

Maze offers autonomous agents to investigate and manage software vulnerabilities in cloud environments.

The agents plug into a customer’s existing security stack, continuously gathering telemetry from scanners, cloud resources and threat-intelligence feeds. They mimic the reasoning of an expert security engineer to map the affected asset’s software stack, simulate viable attack paths, check exploit availability and weigh business context such as data sensitivity or production criticality. From its raw findings, the system distills a validated list of exploitable threats and offers remediation steps.

4/4

→ Hirundo

Amount: $8M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Maverick Ventures Israel

Hirundo enables AI models to forget specific pieces of data without requiring full retraining.

Their system locates behavioural patterns and traces them back to the weights in the model’s neural network that were influenced by flawed data. It then “de-trains” the model on those elements while preserving the rest of the model’s capabilities. Specific pieces of data inclide those that are biased, incorrect, malicious, or confidential, etc.
