Our unified platform brings together network security, endpoint protection, and multi-factor authentication into one integrated architecture.

XO Health

In 2021, XO Health emerged from a simple but powerful observation: the traditional healthcare system was broken, leaving employers, providers, and members frustrated with opaque costs, fragmented experiences, and misaligned incentives. The founders recognized that self-insured employers needed a modern approach - one that combined trust, transparency, and common sense with cutting-edge technology and data-driven insights. So they built XO Health, a groundbreaking value-based care and benefits platform designed specifically for the self-insured market. Today, XO Health is redefining what a health plan can be. By leveraging real-time data, advanced analytics, and a unified technology platform, they deliver integrated medical and pharmacy solutions that put value-based care at the forefront. Their team of experienced industry leaders has created an ecosystem where employers get predictable costs, providers can focus on patient-centered care without administrative roadblocks, and members receive personalized guidance through their healthcare journey. From their open access value-based provider network to their dedicated care advocacy team, every element of XO Health was designed to restore trust and transform the healthcare experience for everyone involved.

Chainguard

We're on a mission to be the safe source for open source, and we believe that engineering teams shouldn't have to choose between speed, security, and scalability. Our founders - Dan Lorenc, Kim Lewandowski, Matt Moore, and Ville Aikas - built foundational open source projects like Kubernetes, Sigstore, and Distroless at Google, and they knew there had to be a better way to secure the software supply chain. So in 2021, we started Chainguard to build secure-by-default container images, libraries, and VMs that engineering teams can actually depend on. What we do isn't easy. We maintain the largest catalog of minimal, zero-CVE container images, and our Chainguard Factory continuously builds and updates thousands of artifacts. But we're serious about our mission and playful about everything else. Whether it's eliminating 1,000 hours of engineering toil per year for our customers, helping them achieve FedRAMP High authorization, or simply making sure every line of code is verifiably secure - we show up every day to guard open source software so you can build what matters.

Garner Health

In 2019, Nick Reber founded Garner Health with a transformative vision: to fundamentally reshape how the healthcare economy works. After serving on the leadership team at Oscar Health where he focused on analytics and data strategy, Reber recognized a critical gap in how healthcare quality was measured and how patients accessed care. The healthcare system was broken - incentives were misaligned, employers were overspending for poor outcomes, and patients struggled to identify truly high-quality doctors. Garner Health emerged from this insight as a data-driven solution to connect people with better care while reducing costs. Today, Garner has built the largest medical claims database in the United States, encompassing over 60 billion medical records from 320 million patients. This unprecedented data asset powers sophisticated analytics that identify which doctors diagnose more accurately and deliver superior patient outcomes. The company partners with more than 700 organizations - from mid-market employers to Fortune 50 companies - offering a platform that guides employees to top-quality providers and reimburses out-of-pocket medical costs when they choose high-performing doctors. By aligning financial incentives with quality outcomes, Garner creates a system where physicians thrive by practicing excellent medicine rather than performing excessive procedures, patients achieve better health, and employers spend healthcare dollars more effectively.
