We are on a mission to provide all pets with the quality health care they need from veterinarians and their caretakers. We aim to do this by modernizing the veterinary tech stack throughout a pet patient’s lifecycle from patient identification to preventive care, medical care, and monitoring & lifestyle. Existing vet tools are frustratingly hard to use, lack key features, and look like they are from the 90s. Our vision for a next-generation cloud platform includes a comprehensive medical record management system with delightful client communication tools. Predictive analytics will unlock clinical efficiencies, equip veterinarians with relevant medical data, and inform pet owners of proactive, tailored insights into their pets’ health.

Starfish Space is a fast-growing space startup based in Seattle, Washington. We're focused on building the infrastructure to allow humanity to expand into and across space. As the first step in this journey, we've developed a servicing spacecraft called Otter, a small and versatile vehicle that will enable affordable and available satellite servicing for the first time in the history of the space industry. We launched our Otter Pup 2 demonstration mission in the summer of 2025 and we’ll be launching multiple additional satellites in the coming years, with our first three Otter missions under contract with NASA, the U.S. Space Force, and Intelsat. We have raised over $150M in venture capital funding to-date, and grown to a team of 90+.

Our blockchain-enabled platform allows you to unlock the massive value locked away in your existing reputations. You can link any of your websites, for example Airbnb for your guest score or Upwork for your reviews as a gig worker. You are empowered to reveal these verified reputations, over and over again, instantly proving you are trustworthy as part of any application or signup process, for example to secure a tenancy agreement, a loan, or a job as an Upworker. We’ve built Reputationaire on a blockchain giving you ownership, security, privacy and control. Via your private trust vault, you and only you, have ownership of not only your data but more importantly the reputation that you've invested time carefully building. And you'll be able to take your reputation with you between services, so you'll never have to start from zero stars when joining a new service. We help overcome negative bias and lack of trust with the option to remain anonymous yet trusted.

We are a technology-driven, sustainable asset manager empowering institutions to create passive investment portfolios specific to their values and financial goals. We are powering the future of sustainable investing.

78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and more than half have a poor credit score or no score at all. Without access affordable financial products, they resort to predatory products like payday loans, high-interest rate credit cards, and overdraft fees to make ends meet. After the short-term relief, these predatory products ultimately push people further into deeper cycles of debt. Pinwheel is building a fairer financial system by unlocking API access to payroll systems. Most people’s money can be traced back to a payroll system (e.g. ADP, Paychex, Gusto, etc). This makes payroll systems incredibly powerful because they 1) harbor valuable income and employment data and 2) sit at the top of the financial stack, with the controls that determine where your paycheck goes and how it gets split up before anyone else has a say. Unfortunately, the payroll ecosystem is largely closed and highly fragmented, disconnected from the banks, lenders, and service providers that could benefit from access to it. By building the pipes that aggregate and unlock these payroll systems, Pinwheel helps consumers access better, cheaper financial products when they need them most while also sparking innovation of new financial products. We're backed by First Round Capital, Upfront Ventures, and other top-tier investors and angels. Our founding team has decades of leadership experience at leading tech firms like Google, Zynga & Groupon, and a successful track record at startups like Luxe & Zocdoc. Our advisory team is made up of the brightest minds and leaders from fintechs like Square, Stripe, Intuit, Venmo, Wealthfront, Cash App, LendUp, Acorns and more.
