TOP PICKS 📢
1/2
Amount: $10M 🎉
Round: Series A
Lead Investor: EQT Ventures, Forgepoint Capital
Qevlar AI is an autonomous AI platform for Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
It performs end-to-end security alert investigations without requiring manual playbooks, prompts, or configurations. Once an alert is generated from existing cybersecurity infrastructure or ticketing systems, Qevlar’s AI agents enrich, analyze, and classify it, then generate detailed incident reports along with remedial recommendations.
2/2
Amount: $10M 🎉
Round: Series A
Lead Investor: 8VC
Glimpse automates end-to-end deductions management for CPG brands.
These deductions, which may account for up to 30% of a brand’s gross revenue, are often complex and manually intensive to navigate. Glimpse ingests external data such as deduction codes, compliance documentation, and dispute processes from major distributors, and merges it with a brand’s internal systems including ERPs, emails, purchase orders, and historical sales data. Its AI deduction analyst then processes and categorizes deductions, verifies their validity against contracts, and autonomously files for disputes and reconciliations.
