TOP PICKS 📢

1/4

Amount: $17.5M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Khosla Ventures

Fastino offers a suite of task-specific language models (TLMs) that are small and fast.

These models handle narrowly defined enterprise use cases such as redacting sensitive information, summarizing internal documents, etc. Unlike other foundational models, their models are purpose-built and trained using cost-effective GPU setups costing less than $100,000. Because of their small size, the models are able to deliver outputs in milliseconds, even generating complete responses in a single token.

2/4

Amount: $23M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Coatue

WisdomAI allows organizations to query, analyze, and derive insights from their internal data — structured, unstructured, and uncleaned or “dirty” data.

Their agentic system reasons across disparate data systems, predicts relevant business questions, and surfaces actionable insights along with charts or visualizations. They uses AI to form queries across various systems but not to generate final outputs, which causes hallucinations. Over time, the system’s “knowledge fabric” learns from query logs and adapts to each enterprise’s context, semantics, and data schemas.

3/4

Amount: $180M 🎉

Round: Series C

Lead Investor: Balderton Capital

Quantum Systems designs and manufactures advanced VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drones integrated with proprietary aerial intelligence software.

Their offering includes both hardware and software, with systems purpose-built for defense, security, and commercial use. The drones are capable of advanced anti-jamming, extended endurance, and AI-driven data capture. The integrated software stack enables operators to manage complex surveillance missions, analyze aerial data, and derive insights. Some applications include battlefield intelligence, border control, site security, infrastructure monitoring, geospatial mapping, mining, and agriculture.

4/4

Amount: $27M 🎉

Round: Seed + Series A

Lead Investor: Bessemer Venture Partners, F2 Venture Capital

Sett offers AI agents that automate the creation of both in-game content and performance marketing assets for mobile games.

The core product helps create “playable ads” and other creative marketing formats used to promote mobile games which are highly interactive and must replicate the game’s look and feel. Their agentic AI engine is trained on live campaign data, competitor actions, consumer trends, and other key signals.
