Matroid makes computer vision simple and accessible to everyone. Matroid is an easy-to-use and intuitive studio for creating and deploying detectors (computer vision models) to search visual media for people, behavior, objects, and events -- no programming required. Once a detector is developed, Matroid can search any live stream or recorded video, providing real time notifications when the object of interest has been detected. Customers use Matroid in construction, manufacturing, security, media, retail and other industries. Matroid reduces operating costs associated with manually searching through video footage for an object or a specific person, and increases efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance. Matroid can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise and will work with most previously-installed cameras.

We are solving a huge problem in financial services that has been lying unsolved for decades. All major payment systems (including wallets ) require two sided onboarding i.e. Payor and Payee need to onboard before they can transact. We have built a way to generate and transmit Digital Payments without onboarding the Payee/Recipient. This is huge in terms of bringing traditional paper and cash payments online. Add to that, we've figured out a clever way to monetize from both sides thereby changing the financial equation from Customers paying us to us paying our customers cash back from card fees! Our investors, whom we call our "believers," include Tim Draper, Adam Draper (Tim Draper's family), Naval Ravikabt through his AngelList Maiden Fund, co-founder of Intuit and more! Institutional investors include a top 4 bank and top 5 insurance company. Checkbook lets businesses move away from paper to deliver Digital Checks directly to a recipients email. This allows businesses to keep all their existing Accounts Payable (or Accounts Receivable processes) in place while moving to a completely online solution. All you need to send a check is the name and email of the recipient along with the amount you are sending. Recipients do not need to sign up for any service, download any app or pay any fees to receive payments. Digital Checks can be deposited and cashed online after instantly verifying banking credentials. No more paying high % based transaction fees on credit and debit cards or sharing sensitive bank account and routing numbers to payor.

Firstcard helps everyone build credit no matter who they are, where they are from, or their credit history. Firstcard primarily focuses on serving immigrants, non-US citizens, international students, first-generation college students, and underserved low-credit communities in the US who are often denied credit due to the limited access to credit-building tools provided by traditional banks. Members can build credit, open a credit card and a bank account, earn cashback, and grow savings — all within a single platform. Firstcard is on a mission to democratize credit for all. Firstcard is based in Silicon Valley and has raised $7.8M to date from angel investors and venture capital firms such as AngelList Early Stage Quant Fund, CyberAgent Capital, and East Ventures. Popular Japanese soccer player Keisuke Honda is also a participating investor.
