Flott unifies planning, live GPS and fuel tracking, invoicing, and payments into one control center run by AI agents. The company reached $200k ARR growing 45% month over month, almost entirely through word of mouth.
Rabih Ramadi is the co-founder and CEO of Avantos, a New York fintech building an AI-native operating system for client onboarding and servicing inside banks, asset managers, and insurers. He spent a career on the inside of financial services - technology strategy at The Bank of New York, leading capital markets as a senior partner at KPMG, then helping build Unqork from the ground floor as a founding team member and chief revenue officer - before deciding the client-service layer of finance needed to be rebuilt around a knowledge graph and AI agents. In early 2026 Avantos raised a $25 million Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing total funding to $35 million.
