Keye
Keye is a New York-based AI company (YC F24) building a due diligence platform exclusively for private equity. It converts raw deal files into structured, audit-ready analyses, using what the company calls deterministic AI - natural-language understanding paired with code-based execution - so that every number ties back to a source, formula, or quote. Funds representing more than $1.4T in AUM use it to cut days off each deal.
Axoniq
Axoniq is a Dutch-founded enterprise software company that builds the backend infrastructure for event-sourced systems and, increasingly, for enterprise AI. Born from the open-source Axon Framework created by Allard Buijze in 2009, the company provides an event-sourcing platform - Axon Framework, Axon Server, and an agent runtime - that gives applications a complete, replayable memory of every decision they make. That memory is the foundation for auditability, explainability, and observability that regulated industries need before they trust AI in production. Axoniq's tools are downloaded 70 million+ times and used by more than 65,000 organizations worldwide.
Process Street
Process Street is a San Francisco-based SaaS company that helps teams turn recurring, human-driven work into structured, trackable workflows. Founded in 2014 by Vinay Patankar and Cameron McKay to tame the repetitive processes of their remote marketing agency, it began as no-code, checklist-based process software and has since repositioned as an AI-powered compliance operations platform. Today it lets non-technical teams document policies, run standardized workflows, capture data through forms, automate approvals, and prove control for standards like ISO 9001 and SOC 2 - with AI agents such as Cora monitoring execution and flagging risk.
8090
8090 is an AI-native software factory that helps regulated enterprises build and modernize production software using teams of people working alongside AI agents. Founded by Chamath Palihapitiya in January 2024 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, its flagship Software Factory platform runs the full software development lifecycle - from business intent to production code - through five modules (Refinery, Foundry, Planner, Assembler, Validator) while preserving the documentation, oversight and audit trails that regulated industries require. The company raised a $135M Series A led by Salesforce Ventures in June 2026, with Chamath stepping in as full-time CEO.
Condor Software
Condor Software is a San Diego-based company that builds a Financial Intelligence Platform purpose-built for biopharma R&D. It unifies clinical, operational, and financial data - from CTMS, EDC, ERP, and vendor systems - into a single source of truth, using AI to automate clinical trial accruals, forecasting, budgeting, scenario planning, and vendor reconciliation. Founded in 2020 by Jennifer Kyle, Condor replaces the spreadsheets that still run most clinical-trial finance, and reports customers reaching 90%+ forecast accuracy and 70% faster month-end close. It counts Acadia, Alumis, BridgeBio, and Madrigal among its customers and raised a $24M Series A led by Insight Partners in March 2026.
StandardC
StandardC is a San Francisco fintech that builds compliance and risk-management software for banks, credit unions and other financial institutions serving high-risk, cash-intensive industries - most notably cannabis-related businesses. Its AI-assisted platform bundles onboarding (ApplyC), KYC/KYB screening and continuous monitoring (MonitorC), GPS-verified virtual site inspections (VerifyC) and examiner-ready audit logging so smaller institutions can bank regulated sectors without drowning in manual BSA/AML work.
Vectice
Vectice is a San Francisco-based enterprise software company that builds a 'Regulatory MLOps' platform to automate the documentation, governance, and collaborative review of AI/ML models. Using a lightweight autolog library, it captures model, data, and code lineage from tools like Python, Databricks, and Snowflake, then assembles audit-ready model development and validation documents mapped to regulatory frameworks such as SR 11-7, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and NIST AI. Founded in 2020 and backed by $15.6M in seed and Series A funding, Vectice targets banks, insurers, and other heavily regulated enterprises that need to scale AI without drowning in compliance paperwork.
Informed K12
Informed K12 is a workflow automation and digital forms platform built specifically for the operational complexity of K-12 school districts. It replaces paper and PDF forms with online workflows that route automatically through the real approval chains districts already use - across finance, HR, student services, and IT - capturing e-signatures and a time-stamped audit trail without replacing the ERP, HRIS, or SIS a district already runs. Founded in 2012 by two Stanford Graduate School of Education classmates, the company (formerly Chalk Schools) serves hundreds of districts and employs roughly 70-75 people.
Velt
Velt is a San Francisco developer-tools startup that ships a full-stack SDK and APIs letting product teams embed contextual comments, notifications, presence, async recordings, huddles, and CRDT-based multiplayer editing directly inside their apps in days rather than months. Founded in 2020 by ex-Google product manager Rakesh Goyal and part of Y Combinator's W22 batch, Velt has evolved from a general collaboration toolkit into a review-and-approval layer where AI and humans review work together and nothing ships until a human approves. It is developer-first, enterprise-ready (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA), and used by companies including Google, Pendo, HeyGen, and LambdaTest.
