Masterpiece
Working capital for data companies training frontier AI
We believe AI will be one of humanity’s next great masterpieces. Building it will require financial infrastructure as ambitious as the companies creating it. We're founders backed by Y Combinator building the financial rails underpinning the AI data economy. Masterpiece provides short term working capital to data vendors that sell training data, evaluation work, and reinforcement learning environments to frontier AI labs. A major financing gap exists in this market. Data vendors often need to pay contributors and fund operations before a lab has completed QA, accepted the work, and paid the invoice. This creates a 30 to 90 day cash gap between when vendors incur costs and when they receive payment. Legacy invoice lenders have little visibility into how to underwrite these assets. Masterpiece closes that gap by advancing capital against high quality lab contracts and invoices. Vendors can use the capital to scale delivery, pay contributors, and fund growth, then repay masterpiece when the lab payment arrives.
matagora
Empowering local retailers with tech that works for them.
At Matagora, our team brings over a decade of retail experience. Our mission is to empower independent retailers with the tools they need to compete with big box stores and effectively level out the playing field. One of the biggest challenges we see is staffing — many retailers struggle to maintain consistent, reliable, and properly trained team members to handle back-office tasks, marketing, ecommerce, POS management, and basic tech know-how. That’s why we offer affordable, ecommerce expertise as a service. Retailers no longer have to worry about high turnover, constant retraining, or trying to learn everything themselves. Instead, they can stay focused on what they love: curating great products and delivering an amazing in-store experience — while we handle the rest. And since it’s a simple expense, it’s easy to plan for and write off, too.

Matrubials
Developing milk-inspired therapeutics for infectious diseases
Matrubials is an anti-infectives company, focused on human milk peptides as therapeutics to address antimicrobial resistance and modern diseases. Currently the global rise in severe bacterial infections and the drying pipeline of effective treatments are burdensome for healthcare and economics. Sculpted by evolution, milk, first food for the newborn, provides an exemplary solution to address the nutritive and protective challenges an infant is faced with. The anti-pathogenic molecules from milk can be developed into therapeutics geared towards all-age diseases. Our first indication is bacterial vaginosis, a bacterial dysbiosis related inflammation that results in recurrent infections, disruption of homeostasis and long-term clinical complications in women of reproductive age, including but not limited to preterm births, fertility issues and increased rates of STDs. Our next inflection point is the evaluation of rapidly acting and selective candidate peptides in pre-clinical host impact and early safety studies, which can aid clinical and portfolio development towards topical applications.
