We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Rae, Kelvin, and the Maneva team in their seed round alongside Bling Capital and Freestyle Capital as they usher in a new era of AI-powered, human-centered factory operations.

The evolution of AI from a narrowly focused tool in the form of a chatbot to intelligent, autonomous services is a massive shift that is redefining industries across the board. The transformation from traditional, static software applications to dynamic, agentic systems encapsulates the power of applied AI, turning software into an autonomous partner. As the foundational models become increasingly commoditized, the true differentiation lies in the ingenuity of the application-layer solutions, where startups can leverage rapid advancements in the infrastructure layer to solve complex challenges.
