We look for founders whose products can transform the markets we know best and then scale well beyond them,” said Constance Freedman, Founder and Managing Partner of Moderne Ventures. “Our Fall cohort shows that range, from AI that catches construction errors before they reach the field and tools that lighten the load for in-house legal teams, to income disruption protection, unified data platforms, and payments built around how people actually get paid.”

We are pleased to announce the seven new companies joining Moderne Passport:

• Buildcheck (buildcheck.ai) – (Palo Alto, CA): See it before it costs you: AI-powered drawing review that catches errors before they become RFIs, change orders, or schedule delays
• DenZen (getdenzen.com) – (Denver, CO): Income disruption protection: Embedded protection that replaces lost income when someone loses their job

• Pitchit (pitchit.ai) – (Austin, TX): AI speed-to-lead & multi-channel qualification: Automates instant form fill outreach, 24/7 inbound call answering, and appointment booking across every channel without hiring extra reps
• Split Pay (splitpay.com) – (Miami, FL): Modern credit products built around your cash flow: Fintech platform that splits rent, mortgage and auto loans into bi-weekly payments

“This class marks our 28th Passport cohort and more than 170 companies have now been through the program. Every class brings founders tackling problems our network deals with every day. We put them in front of the right decision-makers and share what we’re hearing from top operators in real time, so they can win customers faster and grow with confidence,” said Carolyn Kwon, Managing Director at Moderne Ventures.

Moderne Ventures accepts Passport applications on a rolling basis with the next class launching this spring.

Moderne Ventures Overview

Moderne Ventures is a strategic venture capital firm with an 18-year track record, generating top-tier returns across five funds with over $600M AUM. Moderne is a generalist investor with vertical expertise – the firm invests in transformational technologies like AI, robotics, fintech, and digital transactions and brings them to antiquated, trillion-dollar industries like real estate, finance, insurance and beyond. Moderne’s unfair advantage: the Moderne Passport Program – a proprietary network of 1,500+ executives and corporations we activate systematically to drive explosive growth for portfolio companies. Moderne’s platform de-risks venture investing, consistently producing top-tier VC returns while maintaining a Private Equity/Buyout risk profile.

Co-founded by Dr. Stacy Sims, the B2B platform powers smart health and performance brands with research-backed insights built on female physiology. It is live today with founding customers Human Powered Health and Altra Running.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2026 — Collective X Health (CX), a women’s health and performance intelligence platform, announced today it has emerged from stealth with a $3.2 million oversubscribed pre-seed, co-led by Council Capital and Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund, with participation from SoGal Ventures, Emerson Collective, Muse Capital, and Segal Ventures. Founding customers are licensing CX’s women’s health intelligence via API to power accurate health, performance, and recovery insights all built on bias-corrected female research and data.

Why CX Was Built

Women weren’t required in NIH-funded clinical trials until 1993, and the AI models now trained on that research default to male data, leading to misdiagnosis, ineffective care, and advice that doesn’t fit women’s bodies. Companies adding cycle tracking, hormonal insights, and AI-assisted care lack a trusted source of women’s health evidence to build on, and leading AI models failed 60% of questions on a recent women’s health benchmarks.

“Women have been systematically excluded from health research, with generational consequences,” said Dr. Stacy Sims, Ms and PhD and Co-Founder and Chief Research Officer of CX. “We pair vetted academic research with commercial scale, so companies, clinicians, and health and performance products can finally build on data designed for and from female bodies.”

What CX Does

CX turns peer-reviewed research and female-specific data into a structured, auditable intelligence layer that is licensed through an API. Unlike general-purpose AI, CX cites its sources every time, ensuring that every single insight is research-backed. CX can serve as a product’s entire women’s health database or validate an existing one.

“Women’s health isn’t a niche market. It’s half the population, yet less than 9% of NIH funding reflects that,” said Lindsey Abramo, Co-Founder and CEO. “Every company claiming to serve women should be able to show the research behind that claim.”

“Collective X’s edge isn’t a smarter model. It’s a smarter foundation underneath the model,” said Elizabeth Davis, Partner, Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund. “Instead of every wearable and health platform trying to solve the same research problem on its own, CX gives the entire women’s health ecosystem an evidence layer to build on.”

Where CX Stands Today

CX’s scientific backbone is its Research Lead Collective, a group headed up by Dr. Stacy Sims and more than 20 globally recognized MDs and PhDs who hand vet CX’s research base and intelligence. Research Leads are also eligible for a growing grant program, launched with a $200,000 commitment from human performance company Momentous to help close the gender data gap in sports science and drive new research in women’s health.

CX has research and data partnerships with academic journals, Open Medicine Foundation, WildAI, and Eternal, a pipeline of more than 50 prospective partners. CX will use this funding to increase the depth of its research across every life stage and condition, expand its intelligence, rapidly scale early enterprise demand, and drive new research in women’s health.

Leadership

CX is led by co-founders Dr. Stacy Sims, Chief Research Officer; Lindsey Abramo, CEO, who led commercial teams through two acquisitions at POPSUGAR and Group Nine before leading World of Good Brands (Well+Good, LIVESTRONG) through its sale; and Angelica Marden, Chief Brand Officer, veteran women’s wellness media executive and brand builder. Advisors include Mel Strong (Next Ventures), Dorothy Kilroy (Oura), Anne Bradley (Honey Mirror), and Amber Taylor (Les Mills).

“Not only do we believe that CX becomes the foundation that everyone else’s product relies on for evidence based women’s health insights, but this is the team to build it: with their combination of scientific rigor, product expertise, and years of women’s media distribution to reach every woman where she is,” said Rachel Tsui, Partner at Council Capital.

About Dr. Stacy Sims

Dr. Stacy Sims, Ms and PhD, is a world renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who led sex-differences research at Stanford University and directed female athlete research at AUT University and the University of Waikato. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and authored ROAR and Next Level.

About Collective X Health

Collective X Health is a B2B women’s health intelligence platform giving wearables, digital  health platforms, performance brands, and sports teams research-backed insights built on female physiology with an end goal of improving outcomes for women and driving new research in women’s health.

The Draper Associates-led round included the largest participation from the founders of BlueChew, Stephen Sullivan & Dr. Alex Jovanovich, fueling Mogul’s plans to scale its AI capabilities, while expanding its team and property portfolio

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2026 — Mogul, the AI-powered real estate investing platform, today announced it closed a $15.5 million Series A round led by Draper Associates, 55% above its original $10 million target. To date, Mogul’s total funding exceeds $23.6 million. The Series A values the company at $126 million.

Already cash-flow positive, Mogul had no immediate plans to raise capital, but strong inbound interest from leading venture capitalists prompted the company to pursue the round. Mogul will use the new capital to scale its AI infrastructure and organization, expand its property portfolio and create new revenue streams. A significant portion of the funding will go toward hiring across engineering, data science and supply roles at the company.

While Mogul’s investment team continues to lead due diligence processes, the company has leveraged AI to scale the supply side of its business, powering supply operations, targeting, performance analysis and ongoing asset monitoring. This has enabled Mogul to scale to more than 150 assets with just four supply-focused team members. Across its supply workflow, Mogul has reduced manual effort by 89% and cut the time required per property from 18 hours to just two.

The technology-driven approach reflects the company’s founding mission to rethink an industry still dominated by manual processes. After seeing firsthand how antiquated real estate investing remained, former Goldman Sachs Real Estate Investment Group investors Alex Blackwood and Joey Gumataotao left Wall Street to rebuild the model from the ground up.

Founded in 2022, Mogul combines institutional-grade underwriting, technology-enabled operations and AI to give everyday investors access to carefully vetted residential real estate opportunities that have historically been reserved for institutions. Through the platform, users can invest in individual properties and receive monthly distributions based on their ownership.

Since launch, Mogul has achieved significant scale and investor traction, including:

• $110M+ in real estate investments facilitated
• 150+ properties acquired nationwide
• 50,000+ investor signups
• 80% repeat investment rate
• 12-20% target IRR

The raise comes amid a period of significant growth for Mogul. The company reported 14.5x 2024- 2025 revenue growth, 5.6x year-over-year revenue growth, and 4x year-over-year customer growth, all delivered by a team of just 11 people. Mogul is now on pace to reach a revenue run rate of $9 million by year’s end and plans to scale to $60 million within 18 months of this raise. The company also recently acquired the Mogul.com domain for $1.3 million, reflecting its ambitions to build a defining platform for real estate investing.

“The Series A raise validates our thesis that real estate is ready for an AI-powered overhaul. The industry is ripe for innovation and presents a trillion-dollar market cap opportunity,” said Alex Blackwood, CEO and Co-Founder of Mogul. “The platform started as a way for Joey and me to invest in high-quality real estate without the headache, and I am proud to say I am still a power user of the platform today. We are typically the first and second checks into each property; however, with a majority of assets over the last three months selling out in under two hours, I have missed out on some of them because I didn’t act fast enough. As a platform, we are already one of one, and the capital provides us with the capability to redefine the broader real estate industry. Looking ahead, our vision is to build a vertically integrated real estate ecosystem that supports the full lifecycle of an asset. By unifying these layers, Mogul can become the defining infrastructure for the industry. In 10 years’ time, Mogul will be the first word that comes to your mind when you think of real estate.” 

“Real estate has long been one of America’s greatest wealth-building assets, but access to these investment strategies has largely been reserved to institutions, ” said Joey Gumataotao, Co-Founder of Mogul. “Having worked on building Goldman Sachs’ single-family rental platform from zero to $1 billion in under a year, I’ve seen firsthand what this asset class can deliver when the right technology and systems are applied. The Series A supercharges our supply infrastructure, allowing us to continue improving as we scale. Our thesis, process, and vetting have only strengthened as we’ve grown. This capital will help us expand our platform and portfolio while maintaining the precision and discipline our investors expect.”

Key investors in the round include Tim Draper, founder of Draper Associates and a prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalist. An early seed investor and an active backer of Mogul, Draper has a track record of investing in companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Coinbase, and Robinhood in their earliest stages. Stephen Sullivan, Co-Founder and CEO of BlueChew wrote the round’s largest check and brings firsthand experience building and scaling a direct-to-consumer business. Other investors include Draper Dragon, Avalanche Blizzard Fund, Jason Calacanis’ LAUNCH, Venture Togethers, and Gaingels, among other strategic angel investors across top tech and insurtech firms.

“We invested in Mogul at the pre-seed stage because Alex and Joey had elite institutional pedigree and a bold vision for a fundamentally different model for real estate investing,” said Tim Draper, Founder of Draper Associates. “This past May, Alex came to our summit as one of our top-performing portfolio companies to share a business update. Seeing the continued strength of the business and the scale of what the team was building, our conviction only grew and by the end of the event, I knew we had to lead the Series A. Mogul is a true ‘rhino,’ charging ahead with investor retention, relentless growth and real execution. The company has the potential to become the defining model for the next era of real estate investing.”

“Mogul is our biggest outside start-up investment so far because it seems clear that Alex and Joey have a truly disruptive business model that can become the #1 brand in the category very quickly. After a few months of chatting with Alex, it felt like a no-brainer,” said Stephen Sullivan, Co-Founder and CEO of BlueChew/dgp.com. “When I first met Alex and Joey, I knew their big vision for the future of real estate investing was exciting, but when they showed me early traction with paid marketing on Google Search, I knew it was only a matter of time before this business hit hyper growth from word of mouth. Super excited for these guys!”

Funding accelerates sales, marketing and R&D for SPANR, the intelligence layer for industrial operations

LIVONIA, Mich., Oct. 13, 2026 — Aatmunn, the industrial intelligence company behind the SPANR platform, today announced a growth investment of up to $8 million from Santa Monica-based Memento Growth Partners (MGP), with participation from existing investors. The funding will expand Aatmunn’s sales and marketing organization and accelerate SPANR R&D, including AI integration.

SPANR is a unified data layer for the industrial frontline. It connects devices from different manufacturers, normalizes their data and applies AI-powered insight so teams can act in real time across use cases such as worker safety, gas detection, asset tracking and inspections, with more added quickly. SOC 2 Type II audited, SPANR is used by more than 300 enterprises across the United States, Canada and Europe and trusted by safety teams protecting more than 80,000 workers.

“Industrial companies are sitting on more data than ever, spread across devices, systems and sites that were never designed to talk to each other,” said Praveer Kumar, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aatmunn. “SPANR turns that fragmentation into one live picture of people, assets and risk, and then helps teams decide and act. MGP understands that this layer is mission-critical, and their partnership gives us the fuel to put SPANR in front of far more of the world’s frontline operations.”

“Legacy industrial environments are where AI can deliver some of its most tangible value, and also where it is hardest to deploy,” said Kareem El Sawy, Founder & Managing Partner at Memento Growth Partners. “Aatmunn has done the difficult work: a decade of field experience, multi-OEM device integrations, an audit-grade system of record and a growing base of blue-chip customers. We see SPANR as the intelligence layer industrial enterprises will standardize on, and we are proud to back the team as it scales.”

Aatmunn’s customers include Fortune 500 leaders in energy, aerospace, logistics, construction and advanced manufacturing. Its partnership with a global supply chain leader, where SPANR powers the partner’s Connected Safety business, is now expanding into equipment rental.

For OEMs, SPANR is a white-label platform: one industrial hardware OEM recently launched two product lines on SPANR, compressing a three-year software roadmap into five and a half months. Its fixed-scope Audit-in-a-Box and Inspection-in-a-Box programs put SPANR live on a customer’s own operations within weeks.

About Aatmunn

Aatmunn’s mission is to improve the lives of more than two billion frontline workers. Founded in 2014 as Guardhat, Aatmunn unifies industrial data through its SPANR platform, applying AI to protect workers, optimize workplaces and improve asset performance. Learn more at www.aatmunn.com.

LOS ANGELES and ATLANTA, Oct. 13, 2026 — Terminus Capital Partners (TCP), a growth-oriented private equity firm focused on majority investments in B2B technology companies, today announced that it has made a majority investment in PickTrace, a leading provider of workforce management, labor compliance and operations technology purpose-built for agriculture. The partnership positions PickTrace to accelerate product innovation, expand its platform, unlock new markets, and advance its vision of becoming the core operating system for specialty agriculture. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Alongside TCP, PickTrace will continue to invest in product innovation and platform capabilities, as well as the teams and infrastructure that support its customers. PickTrace will remain keenly focused on the agricultural industry and retain the customer-centric approach that has been foundational to the company’s growth.

“PickTrace has established itself as the clear leader in the labor compliance and time & productivity market niche within AgTech focused on specialty growers,” said Alex Western, Founder and Managing Director of Terminus Capital Partners. “PickTrace is a critical technology vendor because it collects proprietary labor data, it serves as the system of record for onboarding paperwork and wage data, and it underpins payroll, compliance, and farm management for its clients. From that incredible starting point, we see an opportunity to partner with Damon, Harrison, Austin, Kalyn and the broader PickTrace team to build a leader in the fragmented specialty grower AgTech market.”

Damon Valenzona, CEO of PickTrace, said: “This partnership marks an exciting next chapter for PickTrace and the customers we serve. Our recipe for success has been simple: focus on delivering best-in-class technology and customer service to agriculture operations. With TCP as our partner, we have an opportunity to accelerate that success, investing more deeply in our team, our platform, and our customer service.”

PickTrace’s roots in agriculture run deep. The company was founded by brothers Austin and Harrison Steed, who grew up working on their family’s blueberry, avocado and citrus farm in Southern California. They began building technology to solve challenges they experienced firsthand. That direct understanding of agriculture, combined with a culture of deep customer empathy, continues to shape how PickTrace builds and delivers its technology today. Austin and Harrison are excited to continue partnering with TCP.

Since its founding, PickTrace has expanded beyond its roots in workforce management to support a growing range of critical agricultural operations. Its platform spans workforce onboarding, time and productivity management, payroll and compliance workflows, field operations, logistics, quality control and other operational processes. By connecting workflows and data across the business, PickTrace helps operators reduce manual processes, improve visibility and turn real-time information into action.

Agricultural businesses operate in an exceptionally complex environment, managing large and often seasonal workforces across disparate acreage and diverse crops while navigating evolving compliance requirements, cost pressures and the need to continually improve productivity. PickTrace combines firsthand industry knowledge, purpose-built technology, white-glove implementation support and high-touch customer success to solve these challenging problems faced by growers every day.

Through its majority investments, TCP works closely with management teams to drive sustainable, long-term value creation. As part of the transaction, TCP will provide strategic and operational support as PickTrace continues pursuing its long-term vision for agricultural technology.

Moelis served as financial advisor and JonesSpross served as legal counsel to TCP. Software Equity Group (SEG) served as exclusive financial advisor and Holland & Knight served as legal counsel to PickTrace.

Baltimore-based firm joins wave of teams choosing ownership-focused model

CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 — Indivisible Partners (“Indivisible”), an advisor-owned growth partnership, announced last week that Rosenwald Private Wealth, a $1.1 billion advisory team serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, has joined the firm from RBC Wealth Management.

Rosenwald’s move comes amid a period of significant growth for Indivisible. Six advisory teams representing over $3 billion in assets have affiliated with the platform in recent months, reflecting growing interest among established wealth management practices in a model that combines independence, ownership, and enterprise-level support.

Rosenwald Private Wealth’s transition also underscores a broader shift among advisors serving affluent clients who are seeking full control over their future while maintaining the capabilities required to serve complex client needs.

“What’s notable isn’t simply the number of firms that have chosen our platform,” said John Thiel, Executive Chairman and founder of Indivisible Partners. “It’s the caliber and scale of the practices making that decision. Rosenwald Private Wealth is another indication that our version of independence has become the preferred option for established advisory teams serving sophisticated clients.”

Unlike traditional models, Indivisible Partners enables advisors to retain full ownership of their business while participating in the growth and equity of the broader organization. The platform provides access to family office services, as well as business development support, marketing consulting, growth coaching, and succession-planning resources.

“As we evaluated the future of our business, we wanted a model that allowed us to own what we’ve built while expanding what would be possible for our clients,” said Beth Rosenwald, the firm’s founder. “Indivisible offered the combination of independence, flexibility, and active support that was the best fit for how we want to continue to serve our clients and grow the business in the years ahead.”

Rosenwald Private Wealth has been serving the ultra-high-net-worth segment for nearly three decades. Their shift follows an increasing trend of $1 billion+ firms moving into the independent space.

“Exceptional advisory practices want the freedom to shape their futures without compromise,” Thiel added. “We believe that trend will continue as more advisors evaluate what ownership means for their firms. With us, they can find the deep and wide set of innovative solutions that they’ve never been able to offer. From new thinking on tax alpha to untapped wealth planning approaches to radically new user-friendly technology, we’ve created the firm advisors have been asking for.”

About Indivisible Partners 

Indivisible Partners is a privately held, independent advisory firm founded by experienced industry leaders and former advisors to redefine what independence can mean for elite advisory teams. The firm combines an innovative, integrated platform with true ownership, high-touch support, and a collaborative culture—empowering advisors to deliver better outcomes for their clients and build lasting enterprise value on their own terms.

Founded in 2020, Jitsu participated in Y Combinator’s Summer 2020 (S20) batch and raised $2 million in seed funding led by Costanoa Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, The House Fund and SignalFire. The company was built to give data teams an open-source platform for collecting customer data and delivering it to their own warehouses.

The pace of feature releases has increased since the acquisition, with expanded production self-hosting, new enterprise controls and broader integration coverage giving customers more ways to operate reliable pipelines and partners more tools to serve their clients.

“We built Jitsu to give data teams control over their customer data and the freedom to run it on their own terms. Rohit and Priyank share that belief and bring hands-on experience building and operating software businesses. With Helium investing in engineering, support and integrations, we can deliver more for our customers and give partners a stronger platform to build on while preserving the open-source foundation that brought them to Jitsu.”

— Vladimir Klimontovich, Co-founder and CEO, Jitsu

The July release of Jitsu 2.14 gives self-hosted teams a Kubernetes operator, dedicated function servers and Kubernetes-native sync scheduling so they can scale workloads independently. Audit logs, expiring API tokens, maintenance mode and event reprocessing give customers more control over access and a clearer path to recovering failed deliveries.

New destinations include Resend, SendGrid, Statsig, DuckDB/MotherDuck and Xero, alongside expanded authentication options for Snowflake and Postgres. For agencies and technology partners, these integrations mean more client systems can connect through Jitsu with less custom development.

These releases build on Jitsu’s existing Management API and CLI and MCP server, which allow developers and AI agents to configure and debug pipelines.

“Our investment in Jitsu is focused on the work customers and partners do every day: keeping events flowing, connecting more tools and resolving problems quickly. The releases since the acquisition show that direction in practice. We will keep building on Jitsu’s open-source foundation so teams can grow with the product and choose how they run it.”

— Rohit Mittal, CEO, Helium Ventures

With the recent launch of reverse ETL, Jitsu now enables teams to send warehouse data back into their business tools. Jitsu also offers managed ClickHouse, giving teams a hosted analytics warehouse alongside their pipeline.

What Customers and Partners Can Expect

• Continued choice and control — Jitsu remains MIT-licensed and free to self-host, with no usage limits. Existing Jitsu Cloud plans and pricing are unchanged, and customers do not need to take any action as a result of the acquisition.
• Investment in day-to-day operations — Faster support and continued development will help customers resolve pipeline issues. New audit logs and event reprocessing give teams more visibility into changes and a way to recover failed deliveries.
• More connections for partners — Broader integration coverage gives agencies and technology partners more ways to connect clients’ systems, reducing the need to build and maintain custom integrations.
• Founder continuity — Vladimir Klimontovich, Jitsu’s co-founder and CEO, continues to advise the business.
