N5 Now
N5 Now is a Buenos Aires-founded software company built specifically for the financial industry. Its 'systematics' platform - along with AI products AIfred, Pep and Singular - lets banks, insurers and payment companies connect CRM, campaigns, analytics, compliance and omnichannel operations on top of existing legacy systems instead of replacing them. Founded in 2017 by former Santander executive Julian Colombo, N5 works fully remotely across teams in dozens of cities, serves clients including Santander, Mastercard, Itau, Interbank and Zurich in roughly 15-18 countries, and closed a $20M Series A in 2025 to accelerate its AI agents for banks.

8090 is an AI-native software factory that helps regulated enterprises build and modernize production software using teams of people working alongside AI agents. Founded by Chamath Palihapitiya in January 2024 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, its flagship Software Factory platform runs the full software development lifecycle - from business intent to production code - through five modules (Refinery, Foundry, Planner, Assembler, Validator) while preserving the documentation, oversight and audit trails that regulated industries require. The company raised a $135M Series A led by Salesforce Ventures in June 2026, with Chamath stepping in as full-time CEO.
