The Startup That Bet Data Movement Should Cost a Flat Fee
A 13-person shop in suburban Philadelphia is going after the plumbing nobody sees - the pipelines that move enterprise data - by making it workflow-driven, auditable, and priced like a utility instead of a taxi meter.
UiPath
UiPath taught software robots to copy clicks. Now it wants to conduct the whole office - AI agents, old systems, APIs and the humans who still know when to say no.
FlowX.AI
FlowX.AI is an AI-native platform that helps large banks, insurers and other regulated enterprises deploy production-grade AI agents on top of their existing legacy systems - without ripping out core infrastructure.

It offers 140+ ready-made agents across lending, onboarding, claims and compliance, and in 2023 raised a $35M Series A led by Dawn Capital - reported as Romania's largest Series A at the time.
RegASK
RegASK is a Singapore-based regtech company building an agentic AI regulatory intelligence platform for life sciences and consumer products teams. It monitors regulatory change across 160+ markets, pairs autonomous AI agents with a global community of 1,800+ regulatory experts to validate insights, and automates the workflows that turn regulatory updates into compliant action. Founded in 2018 by Caroline Shleifer, the company raised a $10M Series A in 2022 and in 2025 became the first vertical regulatory intelligence platform certified to ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management.

Founded in 2020 by Maik Taro Wehmeyer and Maximilian Eber, the company operates across New York, Berlin, London, Sao Paulo and Iasi, and raised a $110M Series C led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives in June 2026.
Temporal Technologies
Temporal Technologies builds a durable execution platform that lets developers write reliable, long-running applications as if failures never happen. Born from the open-source Temporal engine created by ex-Uber and AWS engineers, it automatically persists application state, retries failed steps, and resumes workflows after crashes. Offered as open source and as the managed Temporal Cloud, it is used by more than 3,000 paying customers including Netflix, Snap, Stripe, and Nvidia, and is increasingly the backbone for reliable, stateful AI agents.
Gumloop
Gumloop is a no-code AI automation platform that lets any employee build, deploy, and manage AI agents and workflows by dragging modular nodes onto a canvas. Where legacy tools like Zapier treat AI as one node among many, Gumloop makes AI orchestration the core primitive - connecting a company's internal data to leading AI models to complete complex, repetitive work. Founded in 2023 by McGill classmates Max Brodeur-Urbas and Rahul Behal, the company went through Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and raised a $50M Series B led by Benchmark in March 2026. It counts Shopify, Ramp, Gusto, Instacart, Samsara, and Opendoor among its customers.
Orkes
Orkes is an enterprise workflow orchestration company built by the creators of Netflix's open-source Conductor engine. It offers a fully managed, cloud-hosted platform that lets developers build, run, and scale durable workflows across microservices, APIs, and - increasingly - AI agents, giving companies a reliable way to put long-running, event-driven, and agentic processes into production without reinventing the underlying orchestration plumbing.
DBOS, Inc.
DBOS, Inc. is a San Francisco- and Cambridge-based developer infrastructure company commercializing durable execution technology born from a joint MIT-Stanford research project led by Postgres creator Michael Stonebraker and Apache Spark creator Matei Zaharia. Its flagship open-source library, DBOS Transact, adds crash-proof workflow orchestration and built-in observability to ordinary Python and TypeScript programs by persisting application state in Postgres, so software resumes exactly where it left off after a failure - without a separate workflow server. The company pairs the library with DBOS Conductor and DBOS Cloud for managing and hosting reliable backends, AI agents, and long-running workflows.
Provenonce, Inc.
Provenonce, Inc. is a Silicon Valley company building AI-native go-to-market (GTM) infrastructure.

Founded and led by serial entrepreneur Will O'Brien (ex-BitGo co-founder, ex-Big Fish Games), Provenonce has raised $4.4M and counts Tony Robbins among its advisors and investors.
