Nextmv is a DecisionOps platform that gives developers and operations-research teams the tooling to build, test, deploy, monitor, and govern optimization and decision models - things like vehicle routing, scheduling, and packing. It treats decision models the way DevOps treats software: version control, CI/CD, scenario testing, shadow production tests, and a system of record for every decision. Founded in 2019 by ex-Grubhub engineers Carolyn Mooney and Ryan O'Neil, the company raised an $8M Series A led by FirstMark Capital and was acquired by FICO in May 2026.
Ganesh Ramakrishna is the Founder and CEO of Lyric, a Sunnyvale-based AI-native supply chain decision intelligence platform that raised a $43.5M Series B in August 2025. A serial entrepreneur with deep roots in operations research, he previously co-founded Opex Analytics — building it from zero to 140 employees before its acquisition by LLamasoft — and then played a key role as SVP in LLamasoft's $1.5B sale to Coupa Software. At Lyric, he is rebuilding how global enterprises design and deploy supply chain models, combining composable architecture, AI foundation models, and real-time analytics to serve customers including Coca-Cola, Mondelez International, and Google.
