Cardo AI
Cardo AI is a fintech company building the operating system for asset-based finance and private credit. Its platform unifies deals, collateral data, workflows, cash-flow modeling, and reporting into a single system purpose-built for the operational demands of structured credit - replacing spreadsheets and fragmented tools used by asset managers, bank lenders, credit originators, and fund administrators.

Its platform turns unstructured credit-deal documents into structured, actionable intelligence across the full deal lifecycle - pre-deal evaluation, diligence, and post-deal portfolio monitoring - while pairing proprietary AI models with the oversight of senior credit and legal experts. Backed by $16M in Series A funding led by Avataar Ventures, CredCore supports asset managers overseeing hundreds of billions in assets and won the Banking category at the 2025 Money20/20 Awards.
Plural
Plural is a San Francisco fintech building the financial operating system for infrastructure - a programmable execution layer that tokenizes real-world energy assets like solar farms, battery storage, and data centers. It targets the 'missing middle' of clean energy: sub-$100M projects too small for traditional project finance but too big to ignore. By pairing smart-contract automation with a registered broker-dealer, Plural lets developers raise capital faster and lets institutional and alternative investors underwrite, monitor, and trade cash-flow streams from the electron economy.
