TOP PICKS 📢

1/3

→ Browser Use

Amount: $17M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Felicis

Browser Use offers browser automation infrastructure built for AI agents to interact with websites.

The platform works by deconstructing websites—converting their HTML, buttons, elements, and structure into a format that is digestible for AI agents. The system supports multi-step workflows, persistent browsing sessions, and intelligent self-correction to account for shifting page layouts. The platform is available as an open-source library and also offers a managed service for larger-scale deployments.

2/3

→ Arcade

Amount: $25M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: Canaan Partners

Arcade is a marketplace where users create custom products by simply typing a description or uploading an image.

The AI translates these inputs into fully designed products, complete with images, pricing, materials, and dimensions. These designs can then be refined, customized, and ultimately produced by skilled artisans. The platform supports categories like custom jewellery and home goods and will expand to additional verticals as the product matures.
