Rescana
Rescana is a cybersecurity company that builds autonomous, AI-agent-driven third-party risk management (TPRM) and external attack surface management software. Its platform discovers, classifies, assesses, monitors, and helps remediate risk across a company's vendor ecosystem - including vendors with no web presence - using agentic AI and open-source intelligence (OSINT). Founded by Guy Halfon and based between New York and Tel Aviv, Rescana targets regulated, vendor-heavy industries such as banking, telecom, healthcare, real estate and government, promising vendor-risk oversight that scales without a proportional increase in security headcount.
Cromatic
Cromatic is an AI-native platform for life-science R&D outsourcing and revenue operations. It runs a curated marketplace connecting biotech and pharma companies with vetted Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), then layers on vendor discovery, project tracking, data storage, collaboration, contracting, and milestone payments so scientists can outsource complex research without stitching together spreadsheets, email threads, and word-of-mouth referrals. Founded in 2022 by Stanford geneticist Ann Lin and former Meta engineer Anne Chen, the company raised a $5.3M oversubscribed seed round in November 2023 and manages tens of millions of dollars in research budgets.
Pavilion
Pavilion (formerly CoProcure) is a San Francisco-based govtech company building the marketplace for public procurement. It lets state, local, and education agencies find and reuse contracts that other public entities have already competitively bid and awarded - a practice called cooperative purchasing or 'piggybacking' - so buyers skip months of paperwork and vendors sell more using contracts they already won. The platform is free for governments, and layers vendor search, smart intake routing, compliance guidance, and an AI Contract Hub on top of a repository of tens of thousands of shareable public contracts.
