Rex is an AI-native service for order to cash. Rex replaces manual operations with AI agents that continuously manage invoices, customers and exceptions. Order to cash is a $60B outsourced function because the work is too messy for traditional automation. Every customer has different context, exceptions do not follow clean rules, and the next step is often buried in emails, portals, handoffs, or someone’s memory. Rex agents run continuously in the background and resolve work to SLA standards so cash keeps moving. We're live with pre-IPO tech companies, managing >$500m in receivables from F100 companies, cutting manual follow-up cycles from weeks to hours. We founded Rex after spending four years building Sequence, an a16z-backed finance ops platform, from zero to Series A — where we saw firsthand that at-scale, O2C still runs on manual labour. Rex is the #1 winner of the Vercel AI Accelerator out of 2,500 teams, selected by Guillermo Rauch and leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Browserbase and more.

Visibl Semiconductors makes custom silicon accessible to hardware companies, starting with power electronics. We are an AI-native custom-silicon design partner that cuts ASIC development cost and timeline on mature nodes, helping teams deliver better performance and lower BOM cost. We work with data-center and AI-infrastructure power, motor drives, industrial automation and robotics, industrial power supplies and conversion, battery systems and e-mobility powertrains, EV charging, solar, energy storage, grid power, HVAC, heat pumps, and appliances. V1 boards built from off-the-shelf parts are great for getting to market quickly, but scaling to v2+ volume requires optimizing cost, size, and manufacturability. Visibl folds those parts into custom silicon built around the product: a simpler BOM, reclaimed board space, fewer supply constraints, and automation-ready assembly. We manage the full path from architecture and design through verification, fabrication, packaging, and production-ready silicon, working alongside hardware teams so they do not need an in-house chip team.

Adaptional is building agentic AI for insurance claims. Claims are 75% of every dollar in the $1T insurance industry -- and one of the most under-optimized areas, still managed by adjusters working hundreds of files by hand. We're changing this with AI claims review agents, already deployed at some of the major P&C carriers. In the future, claims will be powered by an intelligence layer that manages files and escalates actions to human adjusters. Adaptional is building the AI system that will be the foundation for every claims department across P&C insurance.

CTGT is an applied AI research laboratory fundamentally solving the alignment and reliability bottleneck for enterprise AI. For enterprises, especially highly regulated industries, deploying Generative AI is historically a compromise between capability and catastrophic risk. Standard enterprise approaches, such as RAG, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering, operate at the wrong abstraction layer. They are inherently probabilistic, carry massive engineering overhead, and fail to deliver the mathematical certainty required by the Fortune 500. We focus on the science of representation engineering and have productized mechanistic interpretability. By opening the "black box" of neural networks, CTGT has developed a proprietary architecture that intervenes directly at the model's representation layer. We convert complex corporate SOPs, SEC/FINRA regulations, and strict editorial rulebooks into machine-readable "Policy as Code," enforcing deterministic constraints and defensible audit trails without requiring expensive model retraining. The result is a step-function breakthrough in enterprise AI economics and capability. Our fundamental architecture allows organizations to run secure, self-hosted open-source models that mathematically match the reasoning and performance of frontier models. Benchmarks from our enterprise deployments demonstrate a 96.5% prevention of hallucinations, up to a 3.3× accuracy multiplier in complex domain-specific tasks, and an 80-90% reduction in human-in-the-loop manual review. Backed by an $8M seed round from Gradient Ventures (Google), General Catalyst, and Y Combinator, CTGT is currently deployed with Fortune 500 companies, including Tier-1 financial institutions and global media conglomerates, giving them the deterministic control necessary to deploy enterprise AI with zero margin for error.

At Redouble AI we have developed Silverlake, a Java-native agentic AI operating system for enterprise. While other AI solutions force enterprise stakeholders to embrace unfamiliar concepts in an unfamiliar language, we do the opposite: we slot agentic AI right into the enterprise comfort zone - by mapping all agentic concepts onto established enterprise primitives in their own language, their own security model, their own infrastructure. It’s like moving from Bitcoin to Stablecoin, just for agentic AI. When we did YC we realized there was no framework or platform that gave us as enterprise and workflow automation veterans what we needed to build truly secure, reliable, and scalable agentic solutions for mission-critical workflows. That’s why we spent the past 18 months building Silverlake from the ground up. We empower the 12 million Java engineers worldwide to write and deploy their own AI, securely, at scale. They define an agent in a few lines of code, and our platform does everything else, from orchestration to permission control, from auditability to rate limiting, from long-running agents to autonomous coordinated networks that perform the work of entire departments. Silverlake has been developed with design partners across biopharma, insurance and financial services. For example, our agentic workflows write submission-ready Clinical Study Reports that are hundreds of pages long, analyze entire datarooms full of financial and operational data for private equity investors, and automate claims processing for a large insurance player. We are backed by Y Combinator, Exponential, Transpose Platform, Tiny VC, and the Oxford Seed Fund and advised by Java inventor James Gosling and automation guru Professor Christian Terwiesch.

We are Alguna, building a modern platform that helps B2B companies price deals, send quotes, bill customers, and collect payments - all in one place. Our mission is to create the most efficient revenue engine for B2B SaaS. Today, many companies run these processes with spreadsheets and a patchwork of separate tools. That leads to slow approvals, manual work, mistakes, and missed revenue—especially as pricing gets more complex. Alguna replaces that mess by connecting the entire flow from **quote to cash**: what sales sells becomes what finance bills, automatically. We help teams automate invoicing, handle usage-based or custom pricing, and reduce back-and-forth between sales, finance, and engineering. The result: growth-stage startups and enterprises can close deals faster, bill accurately, and scale revenue operations without adding headcount or building internal systems.
