Arize AI was started by building on an insight from our own experiences as data scientists, engineers and product leaders. We are a team of people extremely passionate about the potential of AI and Machine Learning.

Untapped Ventures is an early-stage VC firm backing technical AI founders building the next generation of AI-Native B2B startups - from Agentic AI and Vertical AI to AI Infrastructure.

Our mission is to help transform the lives of 1 billion people through technology by combining early capital with hands-on growth expertise and access to a powerful network of advisors, operators, and investors.

We founded Standard Bots because we believe that automation can lead to a better world. By performing time-consuming, repetitive, and dangerous tasks, robotics gives us more time to be creative, spend time with loved ones, and chase our dreams. Though the potential of this technology is immense, when we looked around we saw a broken robotics market — one with enormous upfront costs, excessively complex software, and outdated support systems that make it impossible for many business to take advantage of automation’s vast benefits. So we assembled a team of experts to build a new robot, write custom software for it, and develop a new kind of subscription model that opens the world of automation to everyone. Expanding access to robotics doesn’t end when our customers receive their product either. We are committed to offering the best ongoing support to keep every RO1 operating at the cutting edge. Automation will define our future, so it must be widely available and applied toward a noble mission. We’ve taken the first step, and we’re just getting started.

Briidge.one, builds applied AI into how professional firms actually operate, not as another bolt on subscription but as systems grounded in a firm's own record, running inside the workflows people already use and owned outright once we hand over the keys. Another AI subscription doesn't change a firm. AI changes a firm when it runs inside the actual work, grounded in the firm's own data. Most professional firms, MSPs, private equity, investment firms, law firms, real estate, other professional services carry client relationships and institutional knowledge scattered across 5-10, sometimes 15 disconnected tools. Hours leak, records fragment and decisions wait on someone's memory instead of on data that should already be there. How we work We're a company, not a subscription. Every engagement runs through five stages: 1.Diagnose- an audit of how the firm actually operates, run by the people who will build the solution 2.Design- a roadmap naming which workflows, in what order, and what each is worth 3.Build- AI grounded in the firm's record, shaped to the workflow rather than a template 4.Integrate- connected to the tools the firm already runs, so one record moves instead of being retyped between systems 5.Improve- iteration after handover, sized to what's at stake. We build on the platforms professional firms already rely on Atera, ConnectWise, NinjaOne, HaloPSA, Datto, Autotask, DealCloud, Affinity, Datasite, Intralinks, Carta, PitchBook, Clio, iManage, NetDocuments, DocuSign, Yardi and MRI rather than asking firms to rip out what already works. What we put our name on: No outside logos to borrow. Clients own the code, the schema and the data outright with documentation complete enough for another team to take over. No lock in, nothing trained on a client's record and an exit built into every engagement from day one. We're building the team that will define what applied AI looks like for the firms that run the professional world.

Learning for software developers is broken. Available options are boring, time-consuming, not relevant to everyone, or require the company to take a big productivity hit. We've designed a fast, effective training solution for tech teams that avoids those pitfalls. Targeted Capability Training is: - Core to how an engineering team operates, not a fringe add-on or an after-thought. - Learning that aligns with business priorities and changes what the team is capable of. And we’re called Skiller Whale because … well, our love of puns knows no bounds. Our mission is to change what tech teams are capable of. We’ve found the most effective way to accomplish this is through challenging, realistic exercises that can be explored and tackled in our interactive teaching model. We strive to be intelligent, playful learners, like our Orca, Ada (yes, we love a Lovelace reference). These principles define who we are, not only as a company providing a product, but also as a group of people working together. We believe that diversity makes us stronger and are dedicated to building a company that represents society as a whole. We value marginalised people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We value honest and open communication, and we believe that in order to foster an environment that enables this, it’s important that our team feel included, recognised and like they can bring their full selves to work.
