Jaxon dramatically increases AI project success rates, fosters collaboration, increases staff efficiency, and continuously learns what works and when. Through R&D efforts with the U.S. Department of Defense, Jaxon has created a way of simulating model system performance and getting the design right the first time. By formalizing the AI design process, design tradeoffs are able to be explored. It allows all talent levels to quickly and easily create, test, and iterate on AI system designs without the need for extensive coding or data preparation. It uses an AI-powered ‘Fact Checker’ to address the hallucination problem and bring trust into the output of large language models (LLMs). As a pre-trained Data Science Agent, Jaxon makes decisions based on established conventions and guides users to the right design. Rather than requiring the developer to specify every detail of how the application should work, this approach makes it much easier and faster to build applications.

71lbs created a "set-and-forget" system that allows SMBs to automatically collect on their FedEx & UPS late shipment refunds. Did you know every FedEx & UPS shipment comes with a money-back-guarantee? If your overnight or ground shipment is late, even by 60 seconds, you have the right to 100% of your money back. Most companies don't file their late shipment claims. More than $2 billion are left unclaimed every year. Visit us @ 71lbs.com

Propeller typically steps in when firms outgrow basic bookkeeping and start to require more sophisticated financial planning and analysis but can't yet rationalize the hiring of 2-3 full-time people to manage all of it. We're responsible for everything a full-time CFO would manage and we use outside CPA firms to do income tax and/or audit work. This keeps us focused on building the business while giving you one point of accountability -- just as you would have with a full-time CFO. As the company scales, we'll help you hire full-time financial staff and gradually phase ourselves out (that typically takes 3-5 years). Until then, whether it’s defending the financial plan in board meetings or processing payables, we can handle everything.  

We’re the most active seed-stage venture firm in the country – and collectively our partners have helped fund and start over 200 companies, so there’s not much we haven’t seen before. We believe in collective teamwork: each portfolio company gets the support of the entire First Round Capital family, not just one board member.

Imply is building a next generation data analytics platform based off of the Druid open source project

We’re building a platform that powers the biggest AI groups in the world, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google with human feedback data for evaluating and training their models. Surge was founded by former ML engineers focused on providing the highest quality data in the industry to push the state of the art forward. Instead of outsourcing to call centers overseas, we’ve built an elite workforce based in the US, custom annotation tools, and sophisticated quality control systems. Our product has been a “game-changer” for ML teams, and we’ve been able to run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.
