Therapists hold the world together. They also run businesses, file insurance claims, write letters, fill forms, supervise new grads and do hours of paperwork every night. Practice management software has existed for decades. It records what therapists do. It can't actually do any of it. Klara is the AI at the heart of Klarify. She handles the work that comes after the session: clinical notes, treatment plans, clinical letters, insurance claims, between-session resources, supervision prep and finding new clients. More than 11,000 therapists use Klarify today. Privacy comes first: Klara never trains on therapists' notes or client data. Our mission is to empower therapists, not replace them, so they can focus on the one thing only a human can do: be present with their client. Klarify is backed by Y Combinator (Spring 2026) and has raised $1.7M. Moody (CEO) is a second-time founder who co-founded Circleback.ai and hosts the Future of Therapy Podcast. Bergie (CTO) built LLM infrastructure at Workday.

Ensemble Weather AI is building a new kind of weather forecast. No single weather model is right everywhere. Each one wins in different places, seasons and time ranges, and fails in different ways. We run many of today's leading AI weather models side by side and combine them into one forecast that is more reliable than any of them alone. Many models. One forecast. What makes us different is that we show our uncertainty. Every forecast comes with a range and tells you how much the models agree, because a business deciding whether to move crews, stock or people needs to know how sure the forecast is, not just what it says. And we measure our accuracy openly against the official European forecast, including where we fall short. What we forecast: Severe weather: hurricane tracks and the conditions that produce tornadoes, hail and damaging winds Rain and flash floods: minute-by-minute, up to two hours ahead Long-range climate: seasonal drought, El Niño and long-term trends Air quality: wildfire smoke, pollution and pollen Who it's for: energy and utility companies, insurers, agriculture, logistics and aviation, emergency services, and developers building weather into their own products. Where we are: our work covers the whole globe, with our deepest accuracy focus on North America. We're at an early stage, building the core technology now, and we're hiring across the US and Latin America: AI and data engineers, full-stack engineers, weather data specialists, marketing, and a meteorologist.

Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point because of the tedious nature of takeoffs (measuring & counting materials needed from the drawings). Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes. We are a lean startup backed by some of the best VCs in the world: 8VC, Primary, and Pear. Almost all of the work lies ahead of us. We are excited to create next-gen software for the built world!
