Here at XYZ, we are excited about the next wave of automation that LLMs will bring to tech-enabled services. Despite new models launching every week on Twitter, most industries haven’t actually implemented AI or LLMs yet. Integrating new technologies into archaic industries require deep sector-specific expertise.

As a founder, in an ever-evolving economic landscape, having a clear understanding of your financial health isn’t just a nice to have; it’s a must-have. The unfortunate reality is that when you ask entrepreneurs, their CFOs, and their bookkeepers about the tools at their disposal today, you learn quickly that the current set of offerings is outdated and broken.

Unique people with unique professional experiences come from unique networks and tend to build incredible companies. In the case of Nik Seetharman, Savannah Grace Clemente, and Carlos Mas, this principle holds true.

Can you imagine a world where healthcare services and products are as tailored to your health needs as much as Netflix is with its algorithms for movie suggestions?

At XYZ, we assert there are massive operational unlocks to be captured for enhancing workflows, saving time, and enabling collaboration that only recently was possible through the emergence of Generative AI. In the case of Unblocked, founded by our longtime friend Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked is a platform designed to combat hours of searching and information updating just for developers to understand and maintain their codebase.

Here at XYZ, we believe colossal value can be captured in unlocking highly regulated industries within the public sector. In today's world, deploying an LLM while maintaining security in your own environment is a difficult task. Yurts co-founders Ben Van Roo, Guruprasad Raghavan, along with CTO Jason Schnitzer flagged for us the urgent task of bringing the latest advancements in generative AI to the military’s tech stack.

Right now, we are living in a peculiar moment in history. One of the largest technological shifts is occurring as we speak, and it is more significant than the dot-com era and the mobile revolution. This is the wave of AI, and here at XYZ, we believe this wave will transform society in unimaginable ways.

We first met Ian Cinnamon back in 2016 when we invested in his first venture, Synapse, which was acquired by our good friends at Palantir. After years of building for the public sector, Ian and his cofounder Max Benassi came to us in the fall of 2022 with a new idea: Apex, a company that would accelerate space deployment by making satellite buses as easy to purchase as a Macbook.

Work doesn’t work as well as it could. Dust, an AI-native platform built to augment human workflows is here to improve all our work days.

Here at XYZ, we partner with founders who care about tech-forgotten industries, who have audacious goals for improving the lived experiences of their users. In the case of Parrot, founders Eric and Bryan Baum, along with CEO Aaron O’Brien, have identified an overlooked process in the legal and insurance landscape that needed an overhaul: depositions.

Here at XYZ, we have a belief that certain networks attract exceptional talent and help shape the trajectory of an entrepreneur's journey. Dorm Room Fund is one of those networks — a collection of undergrads, MBAs, and graduate student investors who source and invest in their student peers’ companies. We first me Hillary Bush while she was an investor at Dorm Room Fund (while also maintaining a freelancing business and working at a VC firm). Hillary immediately impressed us with her intellectual curiosity and bias towards action.

Since the Pre-seed round, we have been a part of Manifest’s journey. We are excited to continue the capital partnership as part of their $4.5M Seed funding led by First Round Capital.

There are well known mafias in every industry. For technology, the most notable one is the “Paypal mafia”, for hedge funds, the “Tiger Cubs”, for entertainment the Mickey Mouse Club comes to mind. These alumni groups have seen greatness before in their industries and take those hard-earned lessons and apply those skills to new problems and opportunities.

Banks are entrusted with people’s life savings. Insurance companies are entrusted with upholding committed terms when disaster strikes. Perhaps most important, health care providers are entrusted with millions of lives.
