Mercata is a secure AI sidekick for fundamental investors. We turn unstructured internal and external data into a real-time, queryable research environment so analysts and portfolio managers can move faster, ask better questions, and make more confident decisions. With Mercata, research teams ask layered, high-context questions that traverse companies, people, and time, and get traceable, source-linked answers. The system scans filings, press releases, and news in real time and surfaces what is new and factual, highlighting potential impacts on existing investment theses. It frees analysts from data mining so they can produce unique insights and apply their judgment. Teams can integrate proprietary research into Mercata’s dynamic intelligence layer, creating a unified system of record for faster recall, deeper analysis, and clear decision trails.

We're solving the wrong problem. Everyone's trying to teach small business owners to be better marketers. Better social media strategies. Better content calendars. Better posting schedules. But here's the thing: A therapist shouldn't have to be a social media expert. A wedding planner shouldn't spend 6 hours a week posting content. A wellness coach shouldn't hate their own marketing. The problem isn't that they're bad at marketing. The problem is that they're doing marketing at all. At Omada, we believe the best marketing is invisible marketing. Omada means "team" in Greek. Not a tool. Not a list. A team. We've built the first AI marketing team specifically for service businesses - a "do it for me" team that creates, executes, optimizes, and supports while you focus on what you do best: serving clients. For small business owners, it means you're never alone. While you build your business, your AI marketing team is already at work. Thousands of companies are already waiting for this future. Technology should do what technology does best, so humans can focus on what humans do best. That's not optimization. That's revolution. Omada. Your team, in motion.

Mason is building the AI workforce management platform for construction. We help contractors run their entire back office — time tracking, HR, payroll, compliance, and communication — without the manual work that slows teams down. Today, managing labor in construction is fragmented across paper field notes, spreadsheets, text messages, emails, HR platforms, payroll systems, benefits websites, and accounting tools. These workflows are ripe for unification and automation through AI and modern, cloud-based systems that connect the field and back office. Mason replaces firms' siloed tools with a single platform that connects the field to the office in real time — capturing hours, simplifying HR, running payroll, and ensuring compliance automatically. Our platform saves teams 20+ hours per week by eliminating repetitive data entry and reducing errors across HR, payroll and accounting. Workers get a modern, intuitive way to track time and manage their pay, while office teams receive clean, structured data that flows directly into payroll and job costing systems. Construction is the least-digitized major industry in the U.S. — and we’re changing that. Mason is a NYC-based, venture-backed company on a mission to bring AI-first workflows to the field. Come build the future with us! About our team: Our team is led by Matt Kozlowski (former Chief of Staff at Plaid) and Jef Chedeville (3x acquired/exited founder - previously co-founded YC-backed HR SaaS HigherMe).
