The Quiet Machine Room Behind Wall Street's Trades and Your Favorite Brand's Homepage
Two Wharton classmates started a "virtual" outsourcing shop in a small South Mumbai office in 2000. Twenty-five years later, eClerx settles trades, cleans data, and builds e-commerce pages for the Fortune 500 - and is betting its next chapter on AI that reshapes work instead of replacing people.
Nintex
It started as a plug-in that let office workers drag boxes into a workflow instead of begging IT for a script. Two decades and a shopping spree of acquisitions later, Nintex is betting its process platform can put AI agents to work without setting the whole building on fire.
Newgen Software
For three decades, Newgen has quietly run the paperwork that banks, insurers, and governments would rather not think about. Now it wants to orchestrate the whole enterprise.
ISIS Papyrus
For more than 35 years, a bootstrapped software company outside Vienna has quietly run the letters, statements and claims of some of the world's largest banks and insurers - on one platform it refuses to break into pieces.
Celonis
Celonis is a German-American enterprise software company that pioneered the process mining market. Its Process Intelligence platform reconstructs how a company's work actually flows by reading event logs from systems like SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and ServiceNow, then surfaces bottlenecks, rework and hidden inefficiencies and helps fix them through automation, simulation and, increasingly, AI agents. Founded in 2011 by three Technical University of Munich graduates, Celonis serves more than 1,500 enterprise customers and was last valued at roughly $13 billion.
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.
Epik Solutions
Epik Solutions (Epikso) is a Pleasant Hill, California-based digital transformation and IT consulting company that helps organizations modernize operations through cloud, data, analytics, AI, and customer-experience services. Its flagship no-code platform, View360, digitally maps an organization's entire business experience so leaders can unify siloed data and act on real-time insights. Founded by CEO Ashish Kataria and built around the tagline 'the power of technology plus the power of human intuition,' the firm serves clients across energy and utilities, government, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, retail, and technology.
Alessio Alionco
Alessio Alionco is the Brazilian-born founder and CEO of Pipefy, a San Francisco-based AI-driven process automation platform he built from scratch in 2015. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Harvard OPM alumnus, and Endeavor Entrepreneur, he turned a front-row view of chaotic enterprise workflows into a company with 4,700+ deployed AI agents, partnerships with Accenture, and over $225M in total funding. His prior venture, Acessozero, grew to 1 million users before being acquired by Brazilian local-search giant Apontador in 2012 - a deal that planted the seeds for Pipefy.
