Claira is a New York-based startup building an agentic AI platform for private markets. It embeds domain-native AI directly into deal workflows for private credit funds and financial institutions, automating document extraction, due diligence, deal capture, and analysis so investment teams can surface insights and put their own proprietary research to work. In June 2025 it raised a $7M seed round co-led by Barclays, Citi, and Reimagine Tech Ventures.
TwinKnowledge is a New York-based AI company building custom copilots for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry. Its platform connects to a firm's structured and unstructured data across 30+ tools and document repositories, then trains project-specific or company-wide AI agents that analyze construction documents, drawings, submittals and RFIs. The goal: catch scope conflicts and non-compliant designs before they become expensive rework, answer RFIs in seconds instead of days, and stop the institutional knowledge that walks out the door with every retiring engineer.
Ivan Panushev is the CEO and founder of TwinKnowledge, a New York startup building AI agents that read the mountains of paperwork behind every building - submittals, RFIs, specs, drawings - and flag the conflicts before they reach the field. A Harvard-trained Doctor of Design, he co-founded Horizontal Systems (acquired by Autodesk in 2011 to seed BIM 360), led construction and real estate technology at AWS, and helped write the National BIM Standard. In 2025 TwinKnowledge raised a $3.7M seed led by Camber Creek, with clients including the U.S. Space Force, Toll Brothers, SHoP Architects, and Sound Transit.
Hebbia is a New York-based enterprise AI company that builds Matrix, an agentic platform for analyzing huge volumes of documents. Instead of a single chatbot guessing at an answer, Matrix dispatches a swarm of AI agents across thousands of files - PDFs, spreadsheets, presentations, emails - and returns structured, fully cited answers in a grid. It is used by asset managers, investment banks, law firms and Fortune 100 companies to compress work that took analysts days into minutes. Founded in 2020 by Stanford PhD dropout George Sivulka, Hebbia raised a $130M Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2024 at a reported $700M valuation.
