Fiveonefour Raises $17M to Redefine the Developer Experience by Connecting Data Infrastructure and AI Innovation

Funding round led by Dimension Capital, with participation from Stage 2 Capital, Flybridge Capital Partners, Ridge Ventures, Tokyo Black Venture Capital, and Vermillion Cliffs, along with several notable angel investors.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 4, 2025Fiveonefour, a leader in data and analytics AI and developer tooling, today announced it has raised $17 million in total funding. The funding will be used to accelerate AI agent development, expand support for enterprise customers, deepen technical partnerships, and invest in growing their open source community.

As AI agents accelerate in adoption, enterprises face mounting pressure to modernize their data infrastructure to support real-time analytics and intelligent features. IDC reports that AI-enabling tech spend will hit $337 billion this year, with most Global 2000 companies adopting high-performance data systems by 2027. Fiveonefour enables developer teams to quickly and effectively deliver the specialized analytical infrastructure needed to power AI insights at conversation speed. For example, F45 Training — a Fiveonefour customer — powers its Lionheart biometric analytics feature with the platform, which delivers real-time performance insights and personalized workout feedback. Members who engage with Lionheart are 2.5X more valuable than average, making them F45’s most loyal and engaged users.

“Modern analytical use cases need more than a classic data warehouse with some dashboards,” said Tim Delisle, CEO and Co-Founder of Fiveonefour and former VP of Engineering at Nike. “AI agents and custom applications demand flexible, performant infrastructure coupled with developer and AI-friendly software interfaces like APIs and MCPs. We believe the future of data and analytics depends on the core developer experience for humans and AI agents alike, and this capital helps us deliver on that mission.”

At the heart of Fiveonefour’s offering is the Moose Stack, a fast-growing, open-source developer toolkit in TypeScript and Python, designed for developers building analytical backends.

Alpha Partners Appoints Gal Gitter as Partner to Lead Israeli Expansion

The move reflects Alpha’s commitment to building on its collaborative growth equity model in global tech hubs like Israel.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2025 — Alpha Partners, a leading growth equity firm that invests in growth rounds led by the world’s best investors, today announced the appointment of Gal Gitter as a Partner. Gitter will be based in Tel Aviv and will lead Alpha’s efforts to bring its collaborative growth equity model to Israel.

The appointment reflects Alpha’s view that Israel remains one of the world’s most important technology ecosystems. The firm’s model—designed to partner with early-stage venture funds rather than compete against them—helps early investors double down on their best-performing companies at the growth stage by supplying capital through pro-rata rights.

This approach has powered Alpha’s investments in globally recognized businesses such as Coupang, Careem, Chainguard, Apptronik, Socure, and Baseten.

“Today, Alpha sees about half of the U.S.’s growth rounds per year and, with our VC partners, has the ability to invest in about a quarter of these deals,” said Steve Brotman, Managing Partner of Alpha Partners. “Our pioneering VC partnership model enables us to invest in what we believe to be the most promising companies globally at the growth stage, typically investing alongside the top VCs in the world. Historically, Israeli-founded companies account for 1 in 6 U.S. tech unicorns. As such, we are excited to formally launch our model in Israel, as we believe the country will continue generating some of the world’s most important tech companies.”

Gitter was formerly Head of Ibex’s Israel Growth Fund and a leader within McKinsey’s Corporate Development Group. His experience spans investment and operational roles across Israeli startups and global investors.

“Alpha is one of the few firms purpose-built to collaborate with other funds rather than compete with them,” said Gitter. “That ethos resonates in Israel, where early investors play a central role in helping companies launch but often can’t continue participating as those companies scale. By bringing Alpha’s model to Israel, we can empower early stage investors to continue their partnership with their portfolios’ top performers at the growth stages.”

Alpha has already completed multiple Israeli founded investments leveraging its partnership model, including in cybersecurity companies Semperis and Zero Networks, underground mapping leader Exodigo and AI/Healthtech player Vi Labs. The fund’s Israel operations are co-led by Steve Brotman and Gal Gitter, with Charlie Federman serving as a Venture Partner and Lior Avisar serving as a Venture Investor.

About Alpha Partners
Alpha Partners is a $400 million AUM growth equity firm that invests alongside early-stage venture capital firms in their highest-performing companies. Over the past 12 years, the firm has pioneered the model of partnering with early investors to leverage their pro-rata rights, providing the capital needed to maintain its VC partner’s ownership and support continued involvement in their portfolio companies. Alpha has relationships with nearly half of all U.S. and Israeli headquartered VCs, over 1,000 venture capital firms that are invested in nearly 4 in 5 technology companies. Alpha has invested in more than 30 growth-stage companies worldwide. The portfolio companies identified and described herein do not represent all of the portfolio companies purchased, sold or recommended for funds advised by Alpha Partners. AUM indicated is as of September 2025. Certain information contained herein may constitute “forward-looking statements and are based on information presently available to Alpha.

Pointsville Secures Series A Funding Led by Valor Capital Group with Global Strategic Partners to Accelerate Asset Digitization & RWA Growth

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 4, 2025 — Pointsville, a pioneering platform for digital asset infrastructure and loyalty, today announced the successful completion of its Series A funding round led by Valor Capital Group, with participation from an exceptional group of global investors and industry leaders. Backers include Tether, Itaú Unibanco’s founding family, Nubank’s co-founder, Temasek-backed Superscrypt, SNZ, Credit Saison, K2 Integrity, Citrino, and Dynamo‘s partners.

The round unites a uniquely powerful coalition: the world’s leading stablecoin operator, Latin America’s largest banks, Asia’s leading financial services firms, and globally recognized risk, intelligence, and financial firms. Together, they bring unparalleled reach and expertise to accelerate Pointsville’s mission of bridging traditional assets with next-generation digital asset infrastructure. With the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market projected to exceed $10 trillion by 2030, we are leading this transformation by setting the standard for how traditional assets move into digital markets.

The steady maturation of the digital asset ecosystem has fueled unprecedented demand for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Existing infrastructure has fallen short, fragmenting assets, data, and liquidity across traditional and onchain finance. Pointsville fills this gap with purpose-built tokenization infrastructure, shaped by the founders’ firsthand experience bridging institutional finance and digital assets.

As part of the financing, Bruno Batavia, Principal and Director of Emerging Tech at Valor Capital Group, has joined Pointsville’s Board of Directors. Batavia previously served more than a decade at Brazil’s Central Bank, where he played a key role in launching the Digital Real (DREX) initiative and led the Tokenization Working Group, shaping how central banks implement tokenized asset infrastructure globally.

Gabor Gurbacs, Founder and CEO of Pointsville: “Pointsville is built for the next era of market infrastructure where real-world assets converge with digital networks in an open, borderless global marketplace. This round brings us extraordinary partners whose reach and expertise will accelerate that vision and transformation worldwide.”

Ricardo Villela Marino, Vice Chairman of Itaú: “Ricardo Villela Marino, Vice Chairman of Itaú Unibanco, commented:

“While I serve as Vice Chairman of Itaú, I want to emphasize that my support for Pointsville is a personal investment, independent from the bank. I believe the company is addressing one of the most important frontiers in global finance: building the infrastructure that will allow real-world assets to move seamlessly into digital markets. Pointsville has the vision and capability to shape how this sector evolves, and I am excited to support their journey as they help set the standards for the next era of market infrastructure.”

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether: “Tokenization is rapidly emerging as one of the most practical and impactful drivers of real-world asset adoption. Hadron by Tether is proud to support this transformation, collaborating with Pointsville’s experienced team to deliver the scale and usability required to integrate real-world assets and loyalty programs into the digital economy.”

Bruno Batavia, Valor Capital Group: “Pointsville represents the kind of breakthrough platform we want to support—one with the potential to transform financial infrastructure across regions and asset classes through tokenization as we move toward truly global capital markets on blockchain rails. We are excited to partner with Gabor and his team to scale this opportunity.”

The Series A closing coincides with the rollout and expansion of major Pointsville-powered initiatives, including serving as the core technology provider for Hadron by Tether and powering new loyalty and experiences, such as the Fanatics FanCash program, and advancing projects with leading institutions and governments. Proceeds will accelerate product development, expand partnerships, and scale infrastructure to meet global demand.

Honey Health Raises $7.8M to Fix Healthcare’s Broken, Bloated Back Office

Honey secures backing from Pelion Ventures, Streamlined, 8-Bit Capital, and Burst Capital to expand its All-in-One AI Back Office for Healthcare.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 4, 2025 — Administrative overload and staff turnover continue to strain healthcare organizations—slowing care and squeezing margins. Honey Health, an All-in-One AI Back Office platform, deploys secure AI agent teams that complete complex, end-to-end administrative work directly inside the EHR—automating the workflows that burden nearly every organization across primary care and specialty settings.

Today, Honey announced a $7.8 million seed round led by Pelion Ventures, with participation from Streamlined, Burst Capital, and 8-Bit Capital. Launched in December, Honey is already working with over 100 organizations and has helped them save millions in administrative costs.

Healthcare organizations face unprecedented operational strain, with rising workloads and 33–40% annual turnover in non-clinical staff. Traditional point solutions solve only fragments of the problem, require constant oversight, and rarely integrate well—leaving care teams overburdened and margins under pressure.

Honey’s AI Back Office embeds specialized AI agents directly into provider systems, including most EHRs. These agents work together like skilled staff to securely complete complex workflows without manual handoffs or separate interfaces.

     “Healthcare organizations are stuck between two broken models: point solutions that only solve narrow tasks and a constant struggle to hire and retain back-     office staff,” said Matt Faustman, Co-Founder and CEO of Honey Health. “Honey flips that script. We let organizations deploy full AI agent teams that work      autonomously in the background—completing complex back-office workflows inside the EHR, without manual prompting. It’s real leverage to scale care with      fewer staff and stronger margins.”

With more capabilities on the way, Honey’s AI agents currently automate the high-volume administrative workflows shared across most specialties and primary care settings, including:

  • Data Fetching — Fetches data from external sources (labs, devices, and other systems)
  • Note Prep — Prepares visit-ready patient notes and charts
  • Orders & Refills — Handles post-visit orders and refills 24/7
  • Fax Triage — Sorts, routes, and files faxes while extracting key details
  • Prior Authorizations — Manages the full authorization process

Honey stands out with its proprietary Loop framework and Hive protocol, which allow its AI agents to onboard quickly to most EHRs, understand each organization’s workflows, and complete entire jobs that typically require multiple point solutions—without a co-pilot interface. The work just gets done.

Customers report $50,000–$66,000 in annual profit gains per provider, driven by reduced reliance on offshore labor and fewer backfills for high-turnover roles.

     “Using Honey Health is like magic—our back-office work just gets done inside our EHR as if a staff member had completed it,” said Dr. Kashif Latif, co-owner      of AM Endocrinology in Memphis, one of the largest endocrinology practices in the southeastern United States and a Honey Health customer.

Honey was founded by Matt Faustman and Xiao Zhang, former LinkedIn AI, product, and engineering leaders. The two met while working on AI initiatives at LinkedIn after Faustman sold his previous company to the platform. Both founders have personal experiences with chronic disease and care delays due to administrative bottlenecks—Faustman, for example, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 10 years ago.

     “Healthcare providers are desperate to find ways to automate their back office, and Honey Health is by far the best product to do it,” said Tyler Hogge, Partner      at Pelion Ventures. “They’ve built a solution that handles several of the highest-value tasks needed to operate more efficiently—and doctors and operations      teams love it.”

The funding will help expand Honey’s platform with additional capabilities, enabling its fast-growing customer base to automate even more of the back office and further reduce administrative costs.
