Based in San Francisco, Sekai is the first AI-native social platform defining Software as a New Media. We are moving beyond the era of static consumption to pioneer the concept of Personalized Software. We’ve moved beyond traditional static formats—text, image, and video—to build the world’s first ecosystem for Generative Interactivity. Our platform enables anyone to create, play, and remix UGC apps (Sekais) as easily as posting a short-form video. In this new medium, software is no longer a tool you use, but a cultural artifact you share and experience.

Catena is a banking and governance platform for AI agents. We give agents programmable financial infrastructure. For the humans and businesses who deploy them, we provide a control plane to ensure that when agents use money, they do it safely.

Chestnut is building the first AI-native operating system for insurance distribution management. Our platform combines a purpose-built data model (transactions, policies, hierarchies) with an API-first architecture and agentic AI layer. This foundation powers onboarding, producer management, and incentive compensation while enabling intelligent automation across distribution workflows. Carriers can adapt hierarchies, integrate external data, and evolve compensation strategies without months of custom work. The immediate results: ✅ Faster implementation and time to value ✅ AI-powered insights and automation ✅ A system that scales and learns with your distribution model Chestnut is an Andreessen Horowitz portfolio company, trusted by carriers who need modern infrastructure that performs, and adapts, as they grow. They unlock a future where distribution is a strategic growth driver and the ROI of every spend dollar is optimized by AI.

We believe the coming decades will see trillions of interactions between humans and non-human companions, autonomous systems, and physical AI. As these systems become more capable, the challenge shifts from technology to deployment. Trust, liability, insurance, and institutional adoption become just as important as the technology itself. Every major technological shift required new infrastructure before mass adoption could occur. Physical AI will be no different.
