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.
AI Clearing
AI Clearing is an Austin- and Warsaw-based construction technology company that turns drone imagery and site data into automated progress tracking, quality control, and field intelligence for large infrastructure projects. Its AI-native platform ingests drone flights, CAD/BIM designs, schedules, and mobile field data into a single source of truth, delivering analyzed progress reports typically within hours rather than weeks. Serving contractors, asset owners, and lenders on utility-scale solar, energy transmission, roads, railways, and earthworks, the company raised a $14M Series A in 2023 and was the first technology firm in the world to certify its AI management system against ISO 42001.
RegASK
RegASK is a Singapore-based regtech company building an agentic AI regulatory intelligence platform for life sciences and consumer products teams. It monitors regulatory change across 160+ markets, pairs autonomous AI agents with a global community of 1,800+ regulatory experts to validate insights, and automates the workflows that turn regulatory updates into compliant action. Founded in 2018 by Caroline Shleifer, the company raised a $10M Series A in 2022 and in 2025 became the first vertical regulatory intelligence platform certified to ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management.

Founded in 2024 by HyTrust veteran Eric Chiu and former Microsoft security architect Hemma Prafullchandra, its platform captures an immutable record of every LLM prompt, response, and configuration inside a customer's own cloud, then continuously monitors for misconfigurations, policy violations, and risky usage while generating audit-ready evidence for frameworks like NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act. The company emerged from stealth in September 2025 with $4M in seed funding led by Runtime Ventures.
