Auctor
Auctor is a New York-based AI company building an 'AI system of action' for the enterprise software implementation lifecycle. Its platform captures customer requirements from conversations and decisions, then auto-generates execution-ready artifacts - proposals, statements of work, business requirements documents, user stories, resource plans, cost estimates and process diagrams - while keeping teams synchronized from discovery through delivery. Aimed at system integrators and professional services firms, Auctor reports up to 80% efficiency gains in discovery and design. Founded in 2025 by four Johns Hopkins dropouts, the company emerged from stealth in April 2026 with $20M led by Sequoia Capital.
Flow Engineering
Flow Engineering builds an AI-native requirements and systems-engineering platform that lets complex hardware teams design, build, test, and iterate at software speed. At its core is a connected 'systems graph' that keeps requirements, CAD, code, simulations, tests, and certification artifacts in one live system of record - with AI agents running impact analysis and keeping everything aligned. Founded by mechanical engineer Pari Singh, Flow is used by companies like Rivian, Joby Aviation, Astranis, Stoke Space, and Figure, and raised a $23M Series A led by Sequoia in October 2025.
