In 2013, our founders realized that early childhood educators deserved better tools to support their critical work nurturing the next generation. They founded HiMama with a mission to help childcare programs engage and delight families through daily communication, capturing the warmth and joy behind families getting to peek inside their child's day. What began as a platform for family communication has evolved into something far more comprehensive - a fulsome early education company committed to providing all the building blocks for high-quality early care and education. Today, Lillio serves as the ultimate all-in-one childcare platform, helping childcare providers streamline operations, delight families, and improve program quality. The platform has grown to serve over 35,000 happy customers with a 4.9-star rating, facilitating the sharing of 2.1 billion moments with families and delivering 500,000 curriculum kits.

In 2015, Gorgias was founded with a clear mission: to revolutionize customer experience for ecommerce brands. The founders recognized that traditional helpdesk solutions were failing online merchants - support teams were drowning in repetitive inquiries, customer data was fragmented across platforms, and valuable sales opportunities were slipping through the cracks. So they built Gorgias, a customer support platform specifically designed for ecommerce that centralizes all conversations into one unified inbox while leveraging deep integrations with platforms like Shopify to give agents complete customer context at their fingertips. Today, Gorgias has evolved into the Conversational AI platform for ecommerce, trusted by over 15,000 merchants worldwide. The company's AI Agent resolves 60% of support inquiries automatically while increasing conversions 2.5x through tailored, brand-aligned conversations. With 400 employees across offices in San Francisco and beyond, Gorgias continues to innovate at the intersection of AI and commerce, helping brands turn every customer interaction into a relationship that's personal, seamless, and intelligent. From its beginnings as a two-person team to serving both SMBs and enterprise merchants generating $20M+ in GMV, Gorgias remains focused on one vision: making conversations the #1 way people shop online.

In 2013, co-founders Andrew Rubin and PJ Kirner started Illumio with a simple but powerful insight: breaches are inevitable. As cloud computing, hybrid IT environments, and now GenAI transformed the IT landscape, they realized that conventional security tools like firewalls, EDRs, and SIEMs were failing. These tools gave only surface-level visibility into critical traffic flows and even less control over threats that spread through these pathways. Rather than trying and failing to prevent every cyberattack, they founded Illumio to simplify microsegmentation and help organizations reduce the impact of inevitable breaches through effective containment. Today, Illumio stands as the world leader in breach containment, providing the first and only platform built specifically for this purpose. Powered by an AI security graph, Illumio's platform identifies and contains threats across hybrid, multi-cloud environments before attacks can spread and become disasters. The company enables Zero Trust journeys for organizations globally, protecting critical applications, workloads, and assets. Illumio's approach has earned recognition as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Microsegmentation and a Customers' Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights for Network Security Microsegmentation, proving that while breaches may be inevitable, disasters are optional.
