The $149 Gatekeeper Standing Between 5 Million Apartments and a Bad Contractor
NetVendor built a business around the least glamorous risk in real estate: the contractor whose insurance looked fine last month. Its wager is that compliance should stop bad work before it starts - not explain it after the claim.
Jones
Jones is a New York-based vertical AI software company that automates insurance compliance for commercial real estate and construction. Its platform collects Certificates of Insurance (COIs), endorsements and policies, verifies coverage against requirements using AI agents, chases down gaps with vendors and tenants, and integrates bi-directionally with property and construction ERP systems. Founded in 2017 by Omri Stern and Michael Rudman, Jones manages insurance risk across roughly 2.7 billion square feet of properties and construction projects.
Crstl
Crstl is a San Francisco-based, AI-native EDI and agentic B2B commerce network that connects brands, retailers, and logistics providers from order to payment. Its platform replaces the legacy, error-prone world of electronic data interchange with no-code integrations and an always-on AI agent named Edison that processes purchase orders, generates ASNs and invoices, and keeps merchants compliant with big-box retailers like Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods - so direct-to-consumer brands can scale into wholesale, marketplaces, and omnichannel retail without an EDI team.
