A signed software contract is only theoretical revenue until the customer goes live. Beacon.li is building an AI execution layer for the expensive, stubborn stretch between the handshake and the first useful day.
Luzid is a San Francisco-based startup building agentic AI for enterprise software implementations. Its AI agent, David, orchestrates every phase of SAP and Salesforce projects - capturing requirements from workshops, tracking scope in real time, and auto-generating test scripts. Founded in 2025 by Stanford grads Andres Carranza and Matheus Dias, Luzid targets the roughly 75% of implementation projects that run over budget or over time, and is used by SAP system integrators including Numen, delaware, NTT Data and Seidor.
Rakesh Vaddadi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Beacon.li, a Milpitas-based AI orchestration platform that automates enterprise software implementation - from configuration and testing to deployment and hypercare support. A BITS Pilani computer science alumnus and serial entrepreneur, Rakesh previously co-founded WINDO (an Instagram commerce platform used by 200,000+ sellers in 144 countries) and Gear6 (a bike maintenance startup). At Beacon.li, he is tackling one of enterprise software's biggest blind spots: the gap between a signed contract and a successful go-live, using AI agents that learn through the UI without any backend access. The company raised a $7M Series A in March 2025 led by Sorin Investments.
