Switchboard Software
Switchboard Software is a San Francisco-based enterprise data platform built by the team that launched Google BigQuery. It automates the messy work of collecting, transforming, blending and validating high-volume revenue and marketing data, then publishes trustworthy datasets into cloud warehouses like BigQuery and Snowflake. Marketing, revenue and data teams at media and publishing companies use it to stand up analytics and AI projects without waiting on scarce engineering resources.
Cashmere
Cashmere is a Los Angeles-based AI company building a data layer for financial services. It started as an AI-powered client-acquisition platform that helps wealth management firms spot high-net-worth prospects at the moment they experience a wealth-triggering life event - an inheritance, a business sale, a liquidity event - and then matches those prospects with the best-fit advisor and automates personalized outreach. The product has since expanded into resolving fragmented customer records across disconnected banking systems into a single, continuously updated 'golden profile' enriched with internal and external signals. Founded by Farbod Nowzad and Eshan Govil, Cashmere raised a $3.6M seed round led by Canapi Ventures in September 2024 and counts RIAs, banks and wirehouses among its customers.
