Founded in 2025 by Nick Deveau and Ben Epstein, veterans of the AI-in-insurance startup EvolutionIQ, the company raised a $10 million seed round led by ICONIQ Capital in February 2026 and already runs on portfolios for operators like Weidner Apartment Homes.
VoiceOps
VoiceOps is a New York-based AI company that turns customer conversations into structured, decision-ready intelligence.

Oliv AI
Oliv AI is a San Francisco software company building a team of AI agents for revenue organizations. Instead of asking sales reps to log calls, update the CRM, and prep for meetings, Oliv's agents capture deal intelligence automatically from every meeting, call, and email, then keep Salesforce and HubSpot accurate, score deals against methodologies like MEDDICC and BANT, forecast pipeline, and coach reps. The pitch is blunt: grow revenue without growing headcount by letting agents own responsibilities end-to-end, not just complete one-off tasks.
