Lab0
Lab0 is a Y Combinator (P26) startup building AI forward-deployed engineers (AI FDEs) that automate the entire post-sales delivery process for enterprise software - discovery, configuration, integration, testing and go-live. By running these phases inside the systems customers already use, such as ServiceNow, SAP, Salesforce, Workday and Jira, Lab0 aims to compress deployments that normally take six months into about ten days, turning consulting-heavy rollouts into a self-serve product.
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.
William Sun
William Sun is the co-founder and CEO of Auctor, a New York AI company building the 'system of action' for enterprise software implementation. He dropped out of Johns Hopkins - where he studied biomedical engineering and computer science - and left a job at Meta to start the company, which he built with three co-founders drawn from Google, AWS, Apple, ServiceNow and NASA. In April 2026 Auctor emerged from stealth with a $20M Series A led by Sequoia Capital, with backers including Microsoft's M12, HubSpot Ventures, Workday Ventures, OneStream, Tercera and Y Combinator. Auctor's AI agents capture discovery calls and workshops, turn them into structured requirements, and generate the artifacts - SOWs, proposals, architecture docs, user stories - that consultants used to hand-build over weeks.
