TOP PICKS 📢

1/3

Amount: $6M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Y Combinator, Adverb Ventures, Lionheart Ventures

Piramidal is developing a foundational AI model trained on a massive corpus of EEG data (brainwave data).

This model is designed to understand and interpret the complex "brain language" inherent in EEG recordings. Their first product is a co-pilot for neurology diagnosis, which can analyze EEG data in seconds and significantly lower the error rate associated with manual inspection.

2/3

Amount: $8.5M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Neuberger Berman, Inception Capital, Arrington Capital

Skyfire is a payment network for AI agents built on the blockchain to enable autonomous transactions.

The platform assigns each AI agent a digital wallet with a unique identifier, where businesses can deposit a controlled amount of funds converted into a stablecoin (USDC). The platform includes several safeguards to prevent overspending, such as transaction limits and notifications to human operators if an AI agent attempts to exceed its budget.

3/3

Amount: $3.3M 🎉

Valuation: $80M

Round: Seed

micro1 is building an AI recruiter.

Their AI recruiter screens inbound applicants, interviews them along with a coding exercise and generates a post-interview report for each candidate. Companies that receive a mass volume of inbound applications can use micro1 to screen candidates at scale while allowing human recruiters to spend less time with low-quality candidates.
