In 2017, 1upHealth entered the healthcare solutions market with a clear mission: to tackle one of the industry's most pressing challenges - healthcare data. The founders recognized that the US healthcare system was broken, costing more per capita than any other country while delivering poor outcomes, with poor quality data alone costing the industry $300 billion annually. They saw 80% of health data remaining untapped, trapped in unstructured formats or isolated in data silos. So they built 1upHealth - a cloud-native, FHIR-enabled platform designed to unlock the true potential of healthcare data through modern interoperability. Today, 1upHealth stands as healthcare's modern data platform, making it easy for payers, providers, life sciences companies, and digital health innovators to acquire, manage, and use healthcare data at scale. Built natively in the cloud using FHIR as the foundation, the platform connects to over 10,000 clinical endpoints, enabling seamless data exchange and powerful analytics. Trusted by 75+ enterprise organizations including leading national health plans, CMS ACOs, and state Medicaid agencies, 1upHealth transforms fragmented data into actionable insights that improve care quality, lower costs, and reduce risk. The company is led by a diverse team of healthcare experts, interoperability pioneers, and cloud technologists, including Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Donald Rucker, the former National Coordinator for Health IT who literally wrote the book on healthcare interoperability.

Nonprofits deserve better technology. That was the premise that launched Fundraise Up in 2017, after encountering too many donation forms that were exercises in mental gymnastics rather than easy ways to give. The company introduced nonprofits to the checkout - a technology typically used on e-commerce websites to increase sales conversion - and hypothesized that for-profit practices driving sales growth would similarly lead to greater giving for nonprofits. It was the right call. Today, Fundraise Up serves 3,000+ nonprofits globally with a team of 300+ members. The platform is the first to use predictive AI in donor experiences, helping organizations like UNICEF USA, The Salvation Army UK, the Canadian Red Cross, and the American Heart Association increase revenue through improved conversion, modern payment methods, and personalized giving experiences. Built and based in Brooklyn, New York, Fundraise Up continues its mission to unlock the world's generosity potential by optimizing how people give.

We’re building a digital workplace that pretty much runs itself. Our platform brings together Digital Employee Experience (DEX) and IT operations into one place, giving IT teams real-time visibility into every desktop, app, and workspace. We’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it is when technology gets in the way of actual work, so we built tools that automatically fix problems before anyone notices them. Most of us came from the IT world, so we understand the pain of juggling a dozen different monitoring tools and responding to tickets after things have already broken. Our team spans from San Francisco to Israel, and we’re all focused on the same mission: making IT smoother for everyone who relies on it. We work with organizations running Citrix, Microsoft, AWS - you name it - and help them consolidate their stack while giving employees a better experience. The platform handles everything from VDI monitoring to automated remediation, so IT can focus on strategic work instead of firefighting. We’ve been growing fast since 2012, but we haven’t lost sight of why we started: to create technology that actually works for people, not the other way around.

ServiceUp was born from a realization that the vehicle repair industry was broken. Fleet operators and repair shops were struggling with fragmented, manual processes that created delays, confusion, and unnecessary costs. The company's founders came directly from the fleet and repair shop worlds, experiencing firsthand how legacy systems couldn't support the scale and complexity of modern fleet operations. They saw managers spending hours tracking repairs, shops drowning in paperwork, and vehicles sitting idle instead of on the road generating revenue. This operational chaos wasn't just inefficient - it was costing businesses money every single day. So they built ServiceUp to replace this broken system with one intelligent, connected platform. The company provides an AI-powered repair management solution that centralizes every aspect of vehicle repair - from the moment a vehicle needs service until it's back on the road. Fleet operators gain real-time visibility into their entire repair pipeline, can track every job in one place, and access a vetted national network of repair shops. The platform uses AI to review estimates, flag risks, and provide clear recommendations for faster approvals. Insurance carriers benefit from rapid claims closure and reduced cycle times. Repair shops receive more jobs without the administrative burden. By streamlining communication between fleets, insurers, and repair facilities, ServiceUp has become the essential infrastructure layer that keeps commercial vehicles moving. Backed by $55M in Series B funding and trusted by major fleets including SimpleCar, Free2Move, and Merchants Fleet, ServiceUp is leading the transformation of the $200B+ vehicle repair industry.
