NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2025 — uiAgent, the leading AI agent platform for accounting firms, today announced it has raised a $4.6 million seed round led by Marathon Management Partners, with participation from Rerail. As part of the investment, Chase Packard, Founding Partner at Marathon, will join uiAgent’s board of directors.

Built specifically for accounting firms, uiAgent provides an AI-agent automation platform that enables enterprise-grade, end-to-end automation in days—not quarters. The platform supports both on-premise and cloud deployments, and features a robust AI agent library covering critical workflows across Audit and Client Accounting Services (CAS).

Today, uiAgent powers automation for some of the world’s largest and most forward-thinking accounting firms, including many of the top 100 accounting firms in the US. Proven results across its customer base include:

• 80% reduction in manual data entry
• 25% faster monthly close
• 35% faster Employee Benefit Plan (EBP) audit completion
• 100% automation of journal entry creation

Lisa Cattie, Director at Kreischer Miller, explained that “the ability to customize agents is a major differentiator for uiAgent. Many platforms in this space are too rigid to meet the needs of our more complex clients, but uiAgent gives us the flexibility to operate beyond standardized systems. Working with Enes and his team has been energizing—they’re full of ideas that drive efficiency and turn our wishlist into reality.”

“Accounting is ripe for AI automation, driven by a shrinking labor force, high volumes of repetitive work, and siloed data stuck in outdated systems,” said Chase Packard of Marathon. “Enes and his team saw this coming and built a powerful platform to help firms adopt AI quickly, securely, and with measurable impact. In less than a year, they’ve achieved seven figures in ARR, are working with numerous top 100 firms, and are saving clients thousands of hours annually. We’re fortunate and thrilled to partner with them.”

Enes Witwit, CEO & Founder of uiAgent shares more about the opportunity. “The CPA industry is facing a critical skilled labor shortage. Accountants are working excessive hours, sacrificing work-life balance, and as a result, client response times are increasing, client satisfaction is declining, and the quality of deliverables is suffering. uiAgent was built to empower these accountants—not with complex, lengthy implementations, high setup costs, or data shared across multiple third-party providers—but with a fast, seamless solution delivered in a fully secure, private environment. We make AI accessible and effortless. CPAs are the backbone of the economy and therefore heroes who deserve to be treated as such.”

The new capital will be used to accelerate development and deployment of uiAgent’s automation agents across more top accounting firms and large enterprises.

Funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners will accelerate Doctronic’s mission to give millions of Americans instant, affordable, and personalized healthcare

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2025 — Doctronic, the AI-native platform delivering fast, private, and personalized healthcare at scale, today announced a $20 million Series A round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Union Square Ventures, Tusk Ventures, Mantis VC, Seven Stars, and luminary angels across AI & healthcare including Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Jay Desai, and Scott Belsky.

The new funding will enable Doctronic to expand its services and accelerate its mission to provide more Americans with instant, affordable, and individualized healthcare — both directly to consumers and through emerging partnerships with payers and health systems.

“Doctronic is scaling at a pace that makes it clear the future of healthcare will be AI-driven,” said Faraz Fatemi, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners. “What sets them apart is far more than just speed or convenience, but a fundamentally unique agentic architecture that pairs collective AI intelligence with real clinical oversight. That combination makes Doctronic the trusted front door for millions of patients and positions them to define what next-gen healthcare looks like in America.”

Founded by Dr. Adam Oskowitz and Matt Pavelle, Doctronic was built on the belief that generative AI can solve one of America’s most persistent healthcare challenges: timely access to quality care. The platform delivers personalized, anonymous health guidance in minutes and provides seamless access to licensed physicians via video visits for as little as $39 — often less than the cost of a typical co-pay.

“Whether you are in rural Montana or New York City, it still takes over three weeks to see a primary care doctor, and in many cases a lot more. With Doctronic, the average time to chat with our AI and see one of our clinicians is less than 20 minutes. We often have patients write to us after using the system for the first time with a mixture of both gratitude and disbelief that healthcare can be so easy,” noted Dr. Oskowitz.

Users can engage with Doctronic’s AI advisor 24/7 for free — receiving four potential explanations for their symptoms, a likelihood-based assessment, and a structured AI-generated plan of action, including a SOAP note to bring to a provider. Doctronic handles more than 50,000 weekly visits, has powered 15 million medical conversations to date to over 1 million unique users, and delivers care at a fraction of the traditional cost.

“Hundreds of thousands of people are turning to our AI platform every month and nearly half return within a week, demonstrating that patients want AI-based healthcare because it’s instant, personalized and affordable,” said Pavelle. “Lightspeed is the perfect partner to help us scale from 1 million to 100 million users and beyond. This funding will accelerate our ability to serve more Americans both through our direct-to-consumer channels and emerging business partnerships, while maintaining the security, personalization, and quality that defines Doctronic.”

Doctronic has already begun securing partnerships with payers and health systems. This fall Doctronic will start providing its AI native solution to over 100,000 patients through a partnership with Safe Harbor Health. “Our mission is to remove barriers to care while lowering costs for both employers and employees,” said Ryan Herlin, Co-Founder and CEO, Safe Harbor Health. “Partnering with Doctronic allows us to extend that mission by integrating advanced, AI-powered primary care into our TOTAL Wellness Program. Together, we’re delivering a new standard of accessible, preventive, and affordable healthcare.”

Unlike generalized AI assistant platforms, Doctronic operates on a collective intelligence framework. Multiple specialized agents engage in structured clinical reasoning, while licensed physicians oversee and refine decision-making over time. Each interaction enriches a proprietary dataset linking symptoms, outcomes, and evidence, continually improving the system’s precision and reliability. Last month, Doctronic published the first large-scale validation of an autonomous AI doctor which benchmarked at a 99.2% treatment alignment with medically licensed clinicians.

Doctronic’s growth comes at a critical moment. The U.S. healthcare system faces a projected shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034, leaving nearly one-third of adults without consistent access to primary care. Doctronic steps into this gap as a complementary force for physicians helping patients track symptoms, uncover insights, and access care more efficiently, while alleviating pressure on an overstretched system.

Doctronic is available nationwide and has already become a trusted tool for millions of people who need fast, reliable answers about their health. With this new funding, the company is scaling even faster to meet the demand of patients, providers, and partners alike to reach millions more Americans.

About Doctronic

Doctronic is an AI-powered health assistant designed to help individuals better understand their health and access high-quality care. Built on a collective intelligence architecture, Doctronic provides personalized, anonymous health insights and connects users to licensed providers instantly, affordably, and securely. It is not a substitute for licensed medical care. The company is headquartered in New York and available 24/7 across all 50 U.S. states.

Walgreens, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and TD Bank are among the Fortune 500 companies using GreenLite’s AI-driven Private Plan Review for permitting efficiency

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2025 — GreenLite, the construction technology company accelerating permit timelines by 75% through AI-powered plan review and compliance solutions, today announced a Series B funding round of $49.5M, led by global software investor Insight Partners with participation from Energize Capital, as well as existing investors Craft Ventures, LiveOak Ventures, and Chicago Ventures. GreenLite will utilize the new capital to expand its go-to-market efforts and enter new verticals, including lodging, industrial and logistics, clean energy infrastructure, and residential development, while further advancing its AI-powered technology platform.

As demand for construction surges, jurisdictions and building departments face unprecedented challenges, including labor shortages, limited adoption of technology, and rising backlogs.

This strain is renewing focus on technologies and policies for permitting solutions, including Private Plan Review (PPR), where qualified third-party experts conduct official code compliance reviews instead of the city. Nearly a quarter of U.S. states have advanced legislation for PPR in the past three years, aiming to reduce delays and streamline development. Today, GreenLite is the only Private Provider combining regulatory expertise with AI to deliver PPR at a national scale.

“The permitting backlog is holding back America’s ability to build at the scale and speed we need,” said James Gallagher, Co-Founder and CEO of GreenLite. “By combining a growing database of proprietary compliance comments with advanced automation, we’re catching violations faster and providing builders, developers, and jurisdictions with the predictability and transparency they need to move projects forward, dramatically transforming the plan review and construction code compliance process.”

GreenLite’s AI-powered digital plan review tool, LiteTable, rapidly ingests plan sets, identifies compliance flags and code requirements, and surfaces relevant guidance from GreenLite’s extensive comment library based on compliance patterns within specific jurisdictions. Today, GreenLite is trusted by nearly a hundred Fortune 500 customers, including retailers, REITs, quick service restaurants, industrial owner-developers, and production home builders to advance permitting nationwide. The company is expanding into lodging, logistics, multifamily, and additional verticals this year.

“GreenLite’s full-stack Private Plan Review approach delivers building permits in days, not months, and is driving growth in America’s local communities and economies,” said Jeff Horing, Co-founder and Managing Director at Insight Partners. “We’re thrilled to back GreenLite as it continues to partner with the commercial sector and local governments to power the future of construction permitting.”

GreenLite was founded in 2022 by James Gallagher and Ben Allen, former Gopuff executives. The company has 50 full-time employees today, and is actively hiring across engineering, product, sales, marketing, operations, and executive roles.

About GreenLite:
GreenLite is transforming how America builds by streamlining the permitting process for developers, builders, and local governments. GreenLite pioneered AI-powered Private Plan Review (PPR), where third-party experts, supported by proprietary software, conduct official code compliance reviews instead of cities.

Its technology accelerates approvals by scanning plan sets, identifying code violations, and surfacing jurisdiction-specific guidance from a large and growing proprietary database of compliance comments. With a team of in-house architects, engineers, and plan examiners, GreenLite helps customers reduce revisions, avoid delays, and cut weeks or months off their permitting timelines.

Trusted by nearly 100 national brands, GreenLite is reshaping the future of permitting across industries from retail and banking to logistics, lodging, and multifamily development. Learn more at https://www.greenlite.com.

With rapid growth, with new funding set to accelerate global expansion, drive product innovation, and advance MarqVision’s AI-powered managed service platform for global brands.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2025 — MarqVision, the AI-powered managed service platform for brand control, today announced its Series B funding round of $48 million, bringing its total funding to date to $90M. The round was led by Peak XV Partners, formerly known as Sequoia Capital India & SEA, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, HSG, Coral Capital, Michael Seibel (Partner Emeritus of Y Combinator), and returning investors Y Combinator, Altos Ventures, and Atinum Investment.

With this round, MarqVision is introducing a new paradigm of brand control. Brand protection is traditionally about reacting to copycats, but MarqVision believes industries must shift towards a mindset of owning every digital and physical touchpoint where a brand lives. In an era defined by generative AI, counterfeits, impersonations, unauthorized sales, and piracy, brand control is the evolution of IP and brand protection—giving companies not just the ability to defend their assets, but the power to actively shape how their brand is experienced.

By combining AI agents with IP legal expertise, MarqVision delivers faster, more effective enforcement outcomes that translate directly into business impact. According to the company, brands using MarqVision’s managed services typically see 5–10% increases in top-line growth and can justify investing 0.5–1% of online revenue into digital risk protection because the ROI is so clear. Adoption has expanded well beyond IP and legal teams; 60% of MarqVision’s users are now go-to-market functions like marketing, e-commerce, and sales, underscoring how brand control has evolved from a defensive necessity into a strategic lever for growth.

MarqVision is also unveiling a bold brand refresh to reflect its evolution from anti-counterfeit enforcement to a comprehensive AI-driven services for trust and safety. The updated visual identity and messaging better represent MarqVision’s role as a category leader in modern brand protection and revenue recovery.

The company also surpassed a key growth milestone with annual recurring revenue (ARR) doubling each year, reflecting rapid adoption across 350 global companies in a wide range of industries, including fashion, luxury, beauty, gaming, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, automotive, and consumer electronics.

“We’ve reached a moment where AI-powered brand control is no longer optional; it’s the foundation for sustainable growth,” said Mark Lee, Founder and CEO of MarqVision. “The most valuable companies in the world will be the ones that can own and control their IP and brand perception at every touchpoint. MarqVision is making that possible by uniting AI innovation with unmatched legal expertise to give brands complete control over their presence, their reputation, and their revenue streams.”

Peak XV Leads Investment in Global Expansion

As part of the Series B round, Peak XV brings its extensive experience in scaling high-growth companies across Asia and the United States, positioning MarqVision for its next phase of global expansion.

“MarqVision is bringing an AI-first approach to the brand protection and trust and safety industry, offering a timely solution to a challenge that has only intensified with the rise of generative AI. They have quickly established themselves as the leader in this category, working with 350 global brands to prevent counterfeits, impersonations, unauthorized sales, and digital piracy. We are thrilled to lead this round of financing, which will help accelerate their growth and cement their position as the category leader in the industry.,” said Shailendra Singh, Managing Director, Peak XV.

Salesforce Ventures is also joining as an investor and will support MarqVision’s go-to-market and product initiatives, including the integration of Salesforce data to enhance insights for ROI tracking for brand customers. “In today’s digital economy, a brand’s intellectual property is one of its most valuable assets,” said Ken Asada, Partner at Salesforce Ventures. “As brand value becomes increasingly tied to digital presence and authenticity, we believe MarqVision is uniquely positioned to lead this next frontier of enterprise technology and we’re excited to support them on the path forward.”

Coral Capital is also backing MarqVision’s expansion into Japan, where the company is opening its first regional office to provide localized support for its growing base of brand clients in the region.

MarqVision already operates with a major footprint across Asia, home to the world’s most active counterfeit and piracy networks. With offices in Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo, and robust legal support and operational hubs strategically placed throughout the region, MarqVision’s strong in-market presence gives the company unmatched visibility and speed in addressing infringement across high-risk channels. Earlier this year, the company bolstered its global presence by welcoming respected industry leaders like Kevin Day and Takeshi Suzuki, who hail over 15 years of experience at OpSec in EMEA and APAC, respectively.

Since its founding in 2020, MarqVision has built a powerful AI engine capable of providing all-in-one services for detecting and removing instances of counterfeit, piracy, and impersonation across hundreds of online marketplaces and platforms. With its expanding suite of service offerings, including brand protection against digital piracy, counterfeit, and grey market, the company is setting a new standard for how brands control their digital presence.

“We’re bringing AI-driven intelligence and legal expertise directly into the hands of the teams who need it most,” Lee said. “This is about empowering legal and marketing departments to protect what makes their brand unique while driving growth at the same time. It’s the future of brand protection: scalable, actionable, and growth-focused.”

About MarqVision

From counterfeits and pirated content to fraudulent sites and unauthorized sellers, MarqVision provides end-to-end brand control across 1,500+ platforms in 118+ countries. Our AI-powered managed service platform for brand control and intelligence enables rapid, scalable enforcement—so your team can move faster, protect revenue, and preserve brand equity across every digital touchpoint. Founded by Harvard Law graduates in 2020, MarqVision is backed by Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India), HSG (formerly Sequoia Capital China), Salesforce Ventures, Altos Ventures, DST Global Partners, Y Combinator, Softbank and Atinum Investments. Recognized with an LVMH Innovation Award and the Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies award in 2025, MarqVision continues to push boundaries in brand control, ensuring that innovation, creativity, and trust remain safeguarded in a rapidly evolving digital world.

Investment in Alphabet’s independent growth fund will accelerate OMNIA Partners’ position as the leading tech-enabled group purchasing organization

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 15, 2025 — OMNIA Partners, the nation’s largest and most experienced group purchasing organization for the public and private sectors, today announced an investment from CapitalG, the independent growth fund of Alphabet, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent investors.

“The future of procurement isn’t just about better contracts; it’s about intelligent, AI-driven platforms that fundamentally reshape how organizations buy,” said Todd Abner, Founder, CEO, and President of OMNIA Partners. “We’re proud to be on the leading edge of procurement’s transformation by combining technology and group purchasing in an entirely new way. CapitalG has already become a trusted investor and is advising us on how to bring our vision to reality.”

Group purchasing is a largely untapped market when it comes to technology transformation, and Silicon Valley investors recognize its potential to revolutionize how business is done.

“We’ve been studying the group purchasing space for several years, looking for a disruptor who could harness technology to unlock ecommerce in this massive market,” said Alex Nichols, Partner at CapitalG. “What we found is that even though OMNIA Partners is already the current leader in the space, they are also the disruptor. Their combined market position and technology vision make us excited about their potential to reshape the group purchasing industry.”

Unlike traditional GPOs that rely primarily on contract aggregation, OMNIA Partners leverages a suite of proprietary technology solutions in addition to its portfolio of leading supplier contracts across nearly every B2B buying category:

• OMNIA Partners OPUS: This first-of-its-kind, free e-commerce platform provides a modern, intuitive, seamless, and compliant way for government agencies, for-profit companies, and nonprofits to purchase what they need using the power of cooperative contracts with a consumer-like e-commerce tool. More than 22,000 users have registered since the site launched last year.
