| Warp is the open source freight network. That means shippers who create freight density share in the savings that density creates. We connect shippers, carriers, and cross docks into one technology powered system for LTL, FTL, box truck, and cargo van freight. Our network uses software, AI, pooled capacity, and more than 50 cross docks to movefreight through the middle mile and the inbound and last mile segments around it. As more shipments move through the same lanes, cost per pallet drops. Instead of keeping those savings as hidden margin, Warp passes them back to the shippers who helped create them. Today, Warp supports more than 1,500 active lanes, more than 20,000 vetted carriers, real time visibility, and over 98 percent on time delivery nationwide. Shippers can book freight through a dashboard, an API, or directly from their AI agent. | $10M / Series A / Jun 12, 2025 | ||
| Delos is a digital property insurance provider for homeowners in catastrophe areas. Insurance is difficult to find in high risk regions; few insurers write in these areas and the ones that do are expensive and slow. One main cause for this problem is low resolution catastrophe models, which have caused regular insurers to pull out of high riskareas. Our team has extensive experience in data science and aerospace engineering and is creating new, higher-resolution catastrophe models. We use these models to create a new home risk rating system. We will also use our models to innovate on product, actively managing our client's risk and helping them prepare for their likely perils. | $9M / Series A / Oct 31, 2024 | ||

| Chargetrip is the world's leading Smart EV Routing platform. We make EV-driving and -charging seamless, reduce operational costs, and unlock new business models. Our customers are CPOs (e.g. EnBW, Recharge, EDP, Iberdrola), Fleet Operators (e.g. Total), OEMs (e.g. Porsche), Telematics providers (e.g. Autosense), and Mobility ServiceProviders (e.g. Elbil, ANWB). They use our Routing-API to power solutions for individual EV-drivers and EV-fleets; owned, leased, rented, shared, and autonomous.Our routing engine uses over 15 different (dynamic) variables to calculate the real-time range of any EV (currently 260+ EV models). Proprietary algorithms then compute the best route from A, to B (to C, to D) with the optimal charge stations in between; specific to that vehicle, to that journey, business logic, and fleet specs. Build-in predictive models optimize for total travel-time and travel-costs. Chargetrip’s API is easy to integrate into existing charge-, navigation-, Fleet operating, and telematics applications. On average, over 175.000 EV drivers use our software every month; equal to 10% of all EV’s in Europe. | $10.8M / Series A / Mar 17, 2023 | ||
