Congrats to Daniel First and the Axion team on their $37M Series B led by Salesforce Ventures. Since co-leading Axion’s seed in 2022, we’ve watched the team build an AI-powered intelligence platform that is transforming how leading manufacturers ensure product quality. Axion helps companies like Medtronic, Cummins, and SharkNinja move from reactive to proactive quality by detecting early warning signals before issues impact customers. We’re proud to continue supporting Daniel and the Axion team as they build the operating layer for the next generation of manufacturing. We recently had Daniel on the Inspired podcast, where he shared his vision for Axion and the future of manufacturing. Listen to the full episode below.

The $300 billion performance marketing industry has a structural problem: advertising platforms are built for the platform's success, not yours. We're thrilled to share that we led Scowtt's $12M Series A alongside LiveRamp Ventures, Angeles Investors, and Angeles Ventures. Founded by Eduardo Indacochea (a veteran at building ad platforms at Meta, Google, and Microsoft), Scowtt uses predictive AI models to turn first-party CRM data into signals that dramatically improve advertising performance. In a post-cookie world where traditional targeting is breaking down, this represents a real shift in how performance marketing works. Excited to welcome Eduardo and the Scowtt team to the portfolio!
