TOP PICKS 📢

1/4

→ Paid

Amount: $10.8M 🎉

Round: Pre-Seed

Lead Investor: EQT Ventures, Sequoia Capital

Paid provides a platform that manages the economics of AI agent deployments.

It enables agentic startups to set up customized billing models — whether fixed or variable — tailored to the results agents deliver, not the steps or inputs. It also helps them measure agent performance and track the cost of executing tasks (like LLM token usage), helping validate ROI and margin. In doing so, Paid acts as a hybrid of billing infrastructure and HR analytics tailored to the agent economy.

2/4

→ Dyna Robotics

Amount: $23.5M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: CRV, First Round Capital

Dyna Robotics is building task-specific robotic systems that use a pair of arms to perform labor-intensive tasks starting with applications like folding laundry and preparing food.

These are not humanoid robots or general-purpose machines, but highly focused systems to master one physical workflow at a time. The models that power the systems are fine-tuned to task-specific datasets rather than broad, generalist data and use it to optimize performance in actual deployment environments.

3/4

→ ai|coustics

Amount: $5.4M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Partech

ai|coustics uses AI to transform audio recordings into studio-grade sound, while preserving the authenticity of the speaker’s voice.

The platform enhances the original voice by cleaning up the audio—removing background noise, suppressing artefacts, and clarifying speech dynamics without altering the vocal timbre. The platform works by analyzing key audio parameters such as frequency distribution, noise levels, and dynamic range and then applies AI-driven signal processing to optimize the audio output.

4/4

→ Silna

Amount: $27M 🎉

Round: Seed + Series A

Lead Investor: Accel, Bain Capital Ventures

Silna Health uses AI to automate and manage front-end insurance workflows for healthcare providers.

The platform addresses critical areas such as prior authorizations, benefit checks, and eligibility verifications. It navigates the web of payer-provider communication to interpret and respond to payer rules, billing codes, medical necessity criteria, and documentation requirements. It stitches together various administrative steps to ensure that when a provider initiates care, they are confident it is approved, covered, and billable.
