Punchcard (formerly Agentive) is a Provo, Utah startup building an AI-powered operating system for financial audits and assurance work. Its platform uses assertion-driven AI agents that read documents, run testing procedures from natural language instructions, and draft cited workpapers - collapsing audit planning, client document requests, evidence testing, and documentation into one workspace so CPA firms can move through substantive testing far faster.
Ease.io is an Irvine, California software company that makes EASE, a cloud-based audit and inspection platform for manufacturers. The platform digitizes and automates plant-floor workflows - layered process audits, safety inspections, 5S evaluations, Gemba walks and custom audits - along with scheduling, task assignment, data collection, corrective actions and reporting. What began as an on-premises work-instructions tool has become a native SaaS platform used by leading manufacturers such as Dana, Tenneco, Eaton, 3M, Bosch and Aston Martin across 50+ countries, helping quality and operations teams turn plant-floor data into real-time insight and closed-loop issue resolution.
