Summer 2026
CarSignal

The Smart Operating System for Auto Shops.. CarSignal is the AI-native operating system for independent auto repair shops. Most shops still run each repair across disconnected management software, scan tools, parts catalogs, service information, texts, spreadsheets, and knowledge kept in technicians’ heads. That fragmentation slows diagnosis, creates duplicate admin, and leaves customers waiting. CarSignal connects the full repair process in one system. AI agents research vehicle-specific failure patterns and surface the tests that confirm or rule out each cause. The same system carries each job from booking and intake through inspections, estimates, parts, approvals, payment, and follow-up, so technicians spend less time searching and updating systems and more time fixing cars.

Summer 2026
Mireye

Infrastructure for Physical World AI Agents. AI agents are starting to act in the real world, but they can't reliably understand it. Every fact about a place has its own silo: land in GIS maps, power in utility portals, people in census tables, policy in county PDFs. All built for humans, none for agents. Underneath, the data is fragmented across thousands of sources, unstructured and complex. Mireye is building the infrastructure that powers agents to make decisions and act in the real world. One API and MCP to connect agents to the physical world with accurate data enrichment, signals and tools. Our mission is to index every inch of the earth, and make it as queryable as the web.

Spring 2026
Amboras

AI Native Shopify. Amboras puts your entire e-commerce on autopilot. It builds your store, continuously optimizes it, reads your analytics, and learns what converts - all autonomously. No developers. No agencies. No guessing. Today it sells to humans. Tomorrow it sells to AI agents.

Ressl AI

Train, eval and build autonomous agents. Ressl AI helps teams bridge the gap from prototype to production by providing the platform needed to train, benchmark, and deploy autonomous agents that actually work in real-world business systems.

Agentic Fabriq

The control plane for AI agents.. Agentic Fabriq helps companies securely manage what AI agents can access and do across business tools, data, and teams. We give each agent an identity, scoped permissions, approval flows, and audit logs, so employees and customer-facing workflows can use agents without relying on shared API keys, overbroad service accounts, or one-off integrations.
