Agentic Labs is making software design and architecture less painful by building AI into the process. Today, developers have no shortage of tools for instantly creating chunks of code, but designing the systems that integrate this code is the hardest and most manual part of software engineering. Our first product is Glide, an AI-first editor purpose-built for writing technical design docs. It connects to your codebase and saves your engineering team time on triage, planning, and implementation of complex code changes.
At Agentin AI, we build Agents that move data and take actions across enterprise systems, like Salesforce, NetSuite and SAP.

Our mission is to secure access to every enterprise application. Aglide SSO lets security and IT teams connect non-standard and legacy apps - from banking portals to social media logins - directly to their existing identity provider (Okta, Entra, OneLogin, Ping, etc.), with no need for app-side integration. Once connected, these apps behave like any other IdP-managed service: policies like MFA, Conditional Access, RBAC, and audit logging just work, and end users access them through SSO only. Customers use Aglide to secure both individual apps (e.g., legacy banking portals, Discord, Squarespace) and sensitive shared accounts (e.g., AWS root, social media). Our agentic identity technology means Aglide works with any app out of the box - no integration catalog, no custom scripting. Today, customers from fintech decacorns to global media companies rely on Aglide’s zero-trust, end-to-end encrypted platform to complete their identity stack.

We are aiming to replace over 600k SDRs, that cost US companies $48B a year.

Aidy is a mobile app that helps people live fuller lives with chronic health conditions, beginning with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). Our app lets users easily log their symptoms, diet, and treatments, then uses clinical indices to track disease severity and trends over time. Aidy excels at identifying patterns between diet, treatment adherence, and symptoms, giving our users a much more comprehensive and up-to-date picture of their condition to supplement clinician care. Previously in our careers, both Max and Peter worked in health in different capacities. At the Rockefeller Foundation and the United States Senate, Max worked in public health policy and COVID-19 response, while Peter worked as an ML researcher for a number of biotech companies. After a lengthy “pivot hell” we decided to finally listen to a friend with IBD who insisted that there weren’t any decent apps to help people live with the disease. Pretty quickly, we discovered how LLMs and regular structured questionnaire responses could provide a level of patient empowerment not possible before for chronic diseases. From there, Aidy was (re)born!

Airtrain AI is a no-code data platform for Large Language Models. Proprietary AI models such as GPT-4 are very powerful but also very costly, slow, unreliable, and unsecured. As businesses look to scale their AI prototypes into production-grade products, they struggle with large AI bills, slow APIs and large failure rates. On the other hand, smaller language models have been proven to be able to perform on-part with large ones with fine-tuned on high-quality datasets. Airtrain AI lets AI practitioners explore alternatives to proprietary models, build up training datasets, evaluate, fine-tune, and serve a large selection of open-source LLMs.

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.

Industrial grade 7 DoF robot arms designed and assembled (by robots) in California.
Alphawatch AI generates investor-ready decks, CIMs, and board materials in minutes instead of days.
Private-market investing still runs on Excel. Every year, trillions of dollars in venture, real estate, and private-equity capital are underwritten through manual spreadsheet work — copying data from PDFs, CIMs, and data rooms into brittle models that haven’t fundamentally changed in decades. Alt-X is building the AI infrastructure layer inside Excel for alternative assets. We ingest unstructured deal materials and automatically turn them into clean, auditable Excel models. Analysts can go from raw documents to a working underwriting model in minutes instead of rebuilding spreadsheets cell by cell. Alt-X extracts and maps key KPIs like ARR, growth, NOI, IRR, leverage, and cap rate directly into Excel, then generates institutional-grade models, sensitivities, and IC-ready outputs that remain fully editable and transparent. Teams using Alt-X reduce deal evaluation timelines by up to 70%, save 30–50 analyst hours per deal, and screen 4× more opportunities with the same headcount. By automating extraction, modeling, and error detection inside Excel, Alt-X turns underwriting from a manual bottleneck into a scalable workflow. Our first wedge is real estate and private equity, where Excel underwriting is slowest and most painful. We’re already piloting with family offices and private funds managing over $200M in assets. Alt-X is priced as a SaaS product starting at $30/month, with higher tiers for teams and advanced workflows. The opportunity is massive: over $1.4T in private-market deals are underwritten globally each year, with $25–30B spent on diligence and analytics — nearly all of it manual and Excel-based. Alt-X’s mission is to become the operating system for private-market investing inside Excel — the Bloomberg Terminal of the AI era.
Alter is a zero-trust identity and access control platform purpose-built for AI agents. It wraps every tool call in strong authentication, fine-grained authorization, and real-time guardrails, so agents can move fast without breaking things. Each request is verified at the parameter level, authorized against granular policies, executed with least-privilege access, and fully audited in real time. Unsafe actions, whether it’s a rogue DROP TABLE or a payment above policy limits, are blocked before they touch production. Behind the scenes, Alter manages credentials, issuing ephemeral, scope-narrowed access for every interaction, then rotating or expiring it in seconds. The result: no long-lived secrets, no blind spots, and no surprises in audit. With Alter, teams can move fast on AI agent initiatives while staying fully compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and internal security standards. A CISO-ready dashboard delivers real-time visibility, detailed audit logs, and compliance-ready controls, removing silos, eliminating excessive permissions, and providing complete oversight of every agent workflow.
