Boon builds AI agents that automate the paperwork-heavy back office of physical industries. Founded in 2023 by ex-Samsara product leader Deepti Yenireddy, the San Mateo company first launched a workflow platform for commercial fleets - handling order entry, load sourcing, compliance and fuel optimization - and has since pushed into construction, where its agents run preconstruction workflows from blueprint to bid, including takeoffs, clash detection and bid leveling. Boon raised $20.5M across seed and a $15.5M Series A led by Redpoint Ventures and Marathon in December 2024.
Serval is a San Francisco software company building an AI-native IT service management (ITSM) platform. Founded in 2024 by Jake Stauch and Alex McLeod, it lets IT teams describe workflows in plain English and turns them into executable, auditable automations - handling help desk tickets, just-in-time access, onboarding and offboarding. Customers report automating more than half of their IT tickets, and the company reached a reported $1 billion valuation roughly 18 months after launch, backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, General Catalyst and First Round.
