TOP PICKS 📢

1/3

Amount: $22M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Bain Capital Ventures

Obvio builds AI camera systems that monitor and enforce traffic violations such as stop sign running, crosswalk infractions, speeding, illegal turns, and distracted driving.

These devices are designed to be highly visible and easy to install at intersections, especially near schools and high-risk pedestrian zones. The AI on each device processes footage locally to identify severe violations. When detected, the system matches the license plate to DMV records, and a human verifies it before law enforcement reviews and issues citations. The business model involves giving the technology to cities for free and sharing revenue from citations.

2/3

Amount: $6M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Bessemer Venture Partners

Rosebud is an AI journaling app to function as a personal mentor for self-reflection, emotional insight, and personal growth.

The app uses AI to analyze journal entries, detect behavioral and emotional patterns, and offer guidance, questions, and reflection. It varies its approach based on the user’s emotional communication style. For example, some users may need gentle validation, while others prefer direct challenges or accountability. Rosebud’s premium features include voice and call journaling, and a long-term memory system that allows the AI to better track a user’s journey over time.

3/3

Amount: $25M 🎉

Round: Series A-2

Lead Investor: Snowflake Ventures

Sema4 AI allows enterprise users to build and deploy AI agents natively in Snowflake.

These agents can automate a variety of tasks, such as extracting insights from long documents, forecasting demand, and interacting with third-party business applications via a framework called Actions. The user interface, Work Room, ensures role-specific access to AI functionalities, while Control Room gives administrators tools to monitor, manage, and roll back agent performance. The platform integrates natively with Snowflake and uses Snowpark Container Services to simplify deployment within a company’s existing Snowflake environment.
