Whipair helps car dealers and car buyers close deals faster and easier. Today, after a customer agrees on a car, dealers still rely on calls, emails, PDFs, and manual follow-ups to complete the transaction. This slows deals down and causes drop-offs. We built a simple and standard journey that lets dealers go from “yes” to a signed and paid deal in one flow.

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).

At Caribou, we care about giving people financial freedom so they can focus on what’s most important to them. Today, less than two percent of Americans refinance their auto loans despite drastic increases in the cost of new and used cars. We see huge potential to help folks reduce their monthly auto expenses, as well as increase the predictability of those expenses over time. We do this by building technology to pair customers with community banks and credit unions, and ushering them through the process quickly. On average, our drivers save $159/month on their car loans while protecting their investment long term. Caribou is led by leaders from the technology, automotive, and finance industries. We’re proud to be backed by a great team of investors, including QED Investors, Goldman Sachs, Moderne Ventures, Accomplice, Link Ventures, Motley Fool Ventures and others.
