The intelligent canvas for architects, built to save thousands of hours. Illoca is building the new AI interface for architectural design: Tracing Paper enables architects to work directly through sketches, markups, and natural language, while AI agents understand intent and generate editable 2D and 3D designs in real time. By reducing time spent on manual modeling, Tracing Paper helps architects and stakeholders move fluidly between exploration and refinement, with more space to test ideas, respond to feedback, navigate tradeoffs, and focus on the decisions that bring projects to life.

Vevo Therapeutics is a biotechnology company using its in vivo drug discovery platform and next generation AI models to uncover better drugs for more patients. The company’s Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell precision, to capture in vivo context of disease at the first step of drug discovery and to better represent patient diversity in drug response over current in vitro assays. Vevo is using Mosaic to build the world’s largest in vivo atlas of how drugs interact with patient cells and training AI models on its data to find novel targets and drugs undetectable by other technologies. Located in San Francisco, CA, Vevo was founded by a team of inventors and thought leaders who have discovered drugs for “undruggable” targets and invented novel methods in genomics, computational biology, and chemistry. Vevo is backed by leading investors at the intersection of life sciences and technology, including General Catalyst, Wing Venture Capital, Mubadala Capital, AIX Ventures, and Camford Capital.
