Augment AI
Augment AI is a Seattle-based startup building Decision Site, which it calls a Relationship Operating System for B2B sales teams. The platform pulls meetings, calls, notes, follow-ups, CRM data, Slack threads and buyer resources into a single shared workspace so buyers and sellers can see what has happened, what is happening, and what to do next. Spun out of the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and co-founded by Napster co-founder Jordan Ritter, the company started in 2022 as an AI personal assistant aimed at enabling the four-day workweek and later refocused on agentic tooling for enterprise sales and deal execution.
Alejandro Castellano
Alejandro Castellano is the co-founder and CEO of Caddi, a Seattle AI startup that turns a screen recording of someone doing their job into working, API-driven automation - a method the company calls 'record-to-code' or 'automation by demonstration.' Born in Lima, Peru, where he wanted to be an inventor, he started his first company at 19, learned to scale businesses inside a family office he calls his 'on-the-streets MBA,' then earned a master's at Cornell Tech focused on computer vision and machine learning. Caddi emerged from the AI2 Incubator and raised a $5M seed round in 2025 to free lawyers, accountants and financial advisors from repetitive back-office work.
Benji Barash
Benji Barash is the co-founder and CEO of Roboto AI, a Seattle startup building an analytics platform for robotics and physical AI. A former engineering leader on Amazon's Prime Air drone delivery program, he spent his Amazon days writing throwaway scripts to wrangle sensor logs - and turned that frustration into a company. After more than six years at Amazon and a year as entrepreneur-in-residence at the Allen Institute for AI, he and CTO Yves Albers-Schoenberg launched Roboto out of stealth in 2023 with a $4.8M seed round, on the conviction that robotics doesn't have an algorithm problem, it has a data problem.
