Gradient Labs is the conversational AI platform transforming customer operations in financial services.

We are building the definitive visibility and optimization infrastructure that ensures businesses get found, ranked, and recommended across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and modern AI search engines. While we currently deliver this as a high-margin enterprise service with undeniable ROI, we are actively building out the workflows to transition our proprietary methodologies into a scalable, automated SaaS platform. The way the world finds information has changed forever. Customers are no longer scrolling through pages of traditional blue links on Google; they are asking AI platforms for direct, instantaneous business recommendations. If a company is not the top recommendation when a potential customer asks ChatGPT, they effectively cease to exist in the modern AI era. Every business owner knows they need to adapt to this massive shift, but 99% of them have absolutely no idea how AI models evaluate data or how to influence them. We have cracked the code on AI optimization. We solve the critical, high-stakes problem of customer acquisition in an AI-driven market, turning a technical headache for businesses into an automated competitive advantage.

At Maze, we're building a new type of cybersecurity platform, built from the ground up to use LLMs and AI Agents to make decisions, instead of pre-defined logic.

We're here to change the way people use insurance - safely, compliantly, and on their terms. AI is increasingly where people turn to handle things like insurance. They’re complex products, with real life relevancy, and they’re often not explained well by their providers. That’s great in principle, but it creates real problems for insurers, customers, and regulators - a lot of the machinery that exists around agents today is simply not built for regulated products. Marrow is building the platform that fixes that: the compliance-grade infrastructure that every AI insurance agent runs on. We're live with Aviva, one of the UK's largest carriers, and building a pipeline across the UK and Europe. We’re on the path to regulated status in our own right, are VC-backed, and have a small team that's moved faster than most companies ten times our size. Off the back of a recent fundraise, we’re hiring a small number of high-leverage roles to help us move forward in leaps and bounds.

Helprr is building the trusted marketplace for MiniJobs: small, everyday household tasks that are too time-consuming, impractical or expensive to solve through traditional options. Today, people rely on DIY, friends, Facebook or Marktplaats, or professional services designed for larger work. The result is often slow, unclear and difficult to trust. With Helprr, people post a task and verified local Helprrs place bids. Households compare profiles, reviews, price and availability, coordinate in-app, and pay safely through the platform. Helprr structures the full experience—task, bid, agreement and payment—so both sides have more clarity and confidence. The product is live, with real customers and validated paid demand. We are now focused on building local marketplace density: finding the neighbourhoods and categories where demand and supply can match quickly, reliably and repeatedly. We’re starting in the Netherlands, beginning with the Randstad, and aim to become the trusted first choice for MiniJobs nationwide.

BOND is on a mission to open up Europe's 2.5 trillion euro public procurement market to the companies that are shut out of it today. Every year SMEs miss 40 to 60 percent of the tenders they could win, lose 8+ hours a week to manual search, and spend over 100,000 euros a year on it, simply because tenders are scattered across thousands of portals in more than 20 languages. We think that is both unfair and fixable. So we are building the AI platform for public tenders in Europe. Tender Match continuously monitors 2,000+ procurement portals across all 27 EU countries, translates every notice, and uses semantic AI to match it against a company's real profile. Our AI agents read 100+ page tender documents in seconds and run a gap analysis that shows exactly where a company is strong and where it falls short. The hard problems we solve sit at the intersection of large scale data, multilingual semantic matching and cost efficient AI. Our multi agent architecture lets us deliver enterprise grade analysis at a price SMEs can actually afford. We are backed by NVIDIA Inception, Microsoft for Startups and AWS. We are an early, fast moving team that ships quickly with modern AI and cares more about impact than titles. If you want to build something genuinely useful in a huge, overlooked market, with real ownership from day one, we would love to meet you.
