We're Fireflies.ai, and we're on a mission to make all meetings more productive. You know those moments when you wish you could remember that key insight from an important conversation? That's the itch we're scratching. We created a smart meeting assistant that quietly joins your meetings, records conversations, transcribes them and summarizes everything. It then automatically organizes the information into a searchable archive. Fireflies is the super-powered note-taker you've always wanted! Our goal is simple - help teams cut down on redundant conversations and unlock more value from their meetings. We integrate tightly with tools you already use like Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Salesforce, and more so it feels seamless. Excited yet?

Point is the first FinTech platform where homeowners can sell equity in their homes, giving investors access to a new asset class – owner-occupied residential real estate. Historically, the only way a homeowner could unlock the wealth in their home was to take on further debt. Now with Point, they can de-leverage and diversify their wealth so they can invest in their small businesses, make home repairs, pay off debt, or go back to school. Point is the first consumer finance product that is truly aligned with the customer. When the homeowner does well, Point and its investors do well. We are a well-financed, fast-growing startup backed by top investors like Andreessen Horowitz, located in downtown Palo Alto just minutes from Caltrain. Point's founders have previously co-founded TrialPay (acquired by Visa), Yub (acquired by Coupons.com), Metails (acquired by Buy.com), SiteAdvisor (acquired by McAfee), Affirm, SendGrid (acquired by Twilio), and TXN (aquired by Envestnet).

Partly is UK-based, with an early team in the US, and our core engineering team in Christchurch, New Zealand. Partly's mission is to connect the world's parts and we're doing that by building the first global platform for replacement parts, starting with auto parts. Our big vision is to accelerate the world towards a sustainable future where waste is eliminated and all replacement parts are universally searchable, accessible and available to all. We've more than tripled our team over the last 12 months and expect to double in size again over the coming 12 months. We're a global team spanning both Europe and Australasia. Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we utilise bleeding-edge technology to solve challenging but exciting problems that make a huge impact in a $1.9 trillion industry. We provide a scalable digital infrastructure solution to some of the world's largest businesses and the most exciting startups. Partly's solutions are integrated across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online. Blackbird Ventures (Canva, CultureAmp etc.) led both our Pre-Seed and Seed rounds, alongside I2BF (NYC), Hillfarrance, Icehouse, Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Akshay Kothari (Notion Co-Founder) and Dylan Field (Figma Co-Founder). We're continuing to build a world-class team and ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built at Partly, and our values are lived throughout every experience.

CROSSK is building Whitebrinjal — an AI-driven decision infrastructure for complex enterprise technology procurement. Enterprises struggle to evaluate emerging technologies because the hardest work happens before procurement: defining the problem, aligning stakeholders, comparing unfamiliar solutions, validating fit, and building the business case. Whitebrinjal structures this fragmented pre-procurement journey into a decision layer—helping enterprises move from complex problems to decision-ready engagement with the right technology providers, while helping providers reach qualified enterprise opportunities with context, intent, and stakeholder alignment. We are solving the gap between “we have a complex problem” and “we know what to buy, why, and from whom.”

Trusted by over 2,000 enterprises across 70 countries, we unify WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, SMS, Website Live Chat, and more into a single, clutter-free workspace—so your team can focus on building relationships that convert. Seamlessly integrated with your e-commerce, payments, calendar, and CRM systems, our AI Revenue Agent understands customer history, recommends products, collects payments, and schedules appointments—handling the entire journey from inquiry to sale. Designed for AI-human collaboration, SleekFlow’s Inbox Copilot centralizes communication, automates repetitive tasks, and highlights next steps and upsell opportunities. This empowers your team to close more deals with less effort. SleekFlow is located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, and the UAE. In Jun 2025, the Series A+ startup secured an additional funding round, bringing its total capital raised to USD $23.5 million.
