TOP PICKS 📢

1/2

Amount: $60M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Andreessen Horowitz

Salient offers an AI operating system for auto loan servicing.

Its AI agents operate across voice, SMS, email, and chat to automate compliance tasks post-origination: payment collection, payoff processing, due-date changes, insurance verification, etc. Their agents place calls at optimized times, conducting structured dialogues that maximize data collection (like ACH info), handle multilingual interactions, and predict borrower intent.

2/2

Amount: $21M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Insight Partners

E2B offers an open-source cloud runtime for autonomous AI agents.

At its core are Firecracker-based micro-VM compute sandboxes, which give AI agents isolated access to resources like a browser, file system, and code execution runtime across Python, JavaScript, and C++. Enterprises can self-host the stack for free, deploy it inside their own VPCs to satisfy data-sovereignty mandates, or consume it as a managed service that elastically scales from hundreds to 20,000 concurrent sandboxes.
