Sierra Charges Only When Its AI Agents Actually Fix Your Problem

CREAO AI
CREAO AI is an AI-native platform that turns plain-language requests into autonomous, full-stack 'Agent Apps.' Instead of asking users to wire together visual workflows, a cloud-based 'super agent' writes code, calls APIs, connects integrations and runs the work in a sandbox - then saves the result as a reusable, schedulable app with its own memory. Founded at the end of 2024 and headquartered in Cupertino, California, the company reached 200,000 organic users within months of its September 2025 launch and has raised roughly $25M across three rounds in under a year, most recently a $10M round led by Aramco's Prosperity7 Ventures.
Vinay Mohta
Vinay Seth Mohta is the CEO and co-founder of Manifold, a vertical AI platform for life sciences that aims to make clinical research roughly 10 times faster and a tenth of the cost. An MIT-trained engineer who began at MathWorks and was an early team member at Endeca (acquired by Oracle) before co-founding and serving as CTO of Kyruus, Mohta started Manifold in 2016 as a pragmatic AI lab and has since rebuilt it into a product company tackling what he calls the 'Life Sciences Chasm.' He raised an $18M Series B in December 2025, bringing total funding to about $40M.
