ActionAtlas is an AWS-backed startup building an operating platform for creative agencies, studios, and production teams. We bring projects, people, gear, compliance, resources, work orders, and financials into one place so teams can spend less time chasing information and more time doing the work. We're a small founding team, which means you'll have real ownership, direct access to the founders, and a meaningful role in shaping where the company goes.

AI capabilities are spreading across companies faster than anyone can keep track of them. Teams are creating prompts, skills, instructions, agents, workflows, and tools across different models, repositories, and platforms, often with no shared view of what exists or which version people should actually use. Commonset gives organizations one place to see what AI capabilities exist, who owns them, where they came from, what changed, and which ones the organization actually trusts and uses. We’re building the management layer between the models and the organization: model-agnostic infrastructure for discovering, governing, distributing, and reusing AI capabilities without tying them to a single vendor. We’re early, moving quickly, and looking for people who want to help shape both the product and the company.

Octopus AI is building the AI financial intelligence layer for enterprises. Our proactive AI agents work alongside finance teams to continuously analyze performance, investigate budget variances and root causes, build rolling forecasts, and coordinate with business owners—all on top of the company’s existing ERP and planning systems. We already have the product, team, enterprise customers, and market validation. Now we’re ready to build a significant presence in the US.

Every independent boutique in America runs on the same broken model: POS here, inventory there, purchasing in someone's inbox. We've spent our careers eliminating exactly this kind of waste at Apple, Tesla, and Zoox. Retail never got the same treatment — until now. Scalyx is building the first AI-native ERP for specialty retail, and the endgame isn't a better back office. It's no back office at all. At the core is Clara, our AI agent. Today she drafts POs, flags reorders, and routes vendors. Tomorrow, she runs the entire backend of a retail business — so owners spend their time on the one thing software can't do: selling. We started with jewelry because it's the hardest version of this problem. If Clara can run a jewelry boutique's back office, she can run almost any specialty retailer's. We're not making back-office work faster. We're making it disappear.
