Belfry is a New York-based vertical SaaS company building the all-in-one operating system for physical security guard companies. Its platform unifies scheduling, timekeeping, GPS-tracked field operations, embedded payroll with tax filing, and automated billing - replacing the spreadsheets and stitched-together tools that security firms historically relied on. Founded in 2022 by Jordan Wallach and Alex Tulenko, Belfry serves hundreds of security businesses and raised a $12M Series A in January 2025 led by Base10 Partners.
Laurel is a San Francisco AI company that automates timekeeping for the world's largest law, accounting, and consulting firms. Its platform watches the digital exhaust of professional work - email, documents, browsers, calls - and turns it into ready-to-review timesheets, so billable hours stop being a chore reconstructed from memory on Friday afternoons.
Ryan Alshak is the CEO and co-founder of Laurel, an AI-powered time platform that automates timekeeping for lawyers, accountants, and consultants. A former corporate litigator who billed $650 an hour while manually recording every six minutes of his day, Alshak founded the company in 2018 under the name 'Time by Ping' after experiencing firsthand the absurdity of high-value professionals tracking their own time by hand. Laurel raised a $100M Series C in June 2025 at a $510M valuation, backed by IVP, GV, DST Global, Alexis Ohanian, and Kevin Weil, bringing total funding to over $149M.
