Tennr secures backing from IVP, ICONIQ, Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, and GV and launches Tennr Network to bring real-time visibility to the patient journey

NEW YORK, June 18, 2025 — When a primary care doctor refers a patient to a specialist, the patient too often disappears into a black hole. Tennr, the company that built the first orchestration platform and language models designed to automate the labor-intensive workflows of referral-based care, is here to fix it.

Today, Tennr announced a $101 million Series C led by IVP, with participation from new and existing investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, GV, ICONIQ, Foundation Capital, and Frank Slootman. The company has helped process millions of patients across hundreds of providers and has more than tripled its revenue since its Series B just two quarters ago.

Each year, more than one-third of Americans are referred for specialty care, imaging, equipment, or treatment. But for the specialists on the receiving end, providing an incredible experience for those patients can be operationally impossible. They come in by fax, email, or e-portal, and often need hours of manual review and back and forth. And so backlogs quickly pile up. That leads to missed patients, more denials, and weeks of delays—even for care that’s urgently needed.

Tennr helps providers convert more patients, cut denials, and deliver care without growing their teams.

“Patients really shouldn’t vanish into a work queue,” said Tennr co-founder and CEO Trey Holterman. “There’s so much opportunity to build a delightful patient experience, but it’s always failed because we expect so much behavior change from providers who are completely overwhelmed. We flipped that thinking and are now creating visibility for the patient flow without changing how people work. Businesses love it because they’re converting far more patients and providing a 10x experience for patients and referral sources.”

Tennr’s mission is to convert more patients and increase visibility across the entire referral process. Now, the company is launching Tennr Network—a powerful new coordination layer that connects referring providers, receiving providers, and patients, giving each party real-time visibility into the referral status.

• Referring providers can see the current status of every patient they’ve sent out, eliminating phone tag and guesswork.
• Receiving providers can track the status of every referral, see which need more documentation, and identify which sources are driving the most conversions.
• Patients can see when their referral was accepted, when it’s scheduled, and what to expect to pay. This brings the kind of transparency we take for granted in food delivery or e-commerce.

The secret behind Tennr is the combination of an enterprise orchestration engine and a series of specialized language models (RaeLM) trained on the nuances of processing medical documentation against strict payer criteria. Unlike generic large language models, RaeLM is optimized to understand the nuanced data in medical determinations across years of records. It evaluates documents against complex payer criteria to flag potential denials and denials.

“Tennr has revolutionized our fax-to-intake workflow, eliminating hundreds of hours of manual effort each day, removing human errors, and accelerating the creation of patient intakes. We’ve redefined operational agility in our revenue cycle—it’s not just about moving faster—it’s about serving healthcare practitioners and patients more effectively, in alignment with our mission of Serving You Better,” said Ty Barnett, CIO at Norco Inc.

Tennr was founded by engineers Trey Holterman, Diego Baugh, and Tyler Johnson, who met at Stanford. Trey learned about the ‘black hole’ of the referral maze from his mom, who while working in family medicine, showed him how chaotic and slow the handoff between providers could be. Diego then experienced it personally as a patient when six-week delays between GI appointments sent him to the ER in college.

“Forcing healthcare providers to change the way they refer their patients doesn’t work. Many have tried. Tennr is the first company that works the way healthcare already does: no EMR rip-outs, no need to retrain providers, no changes to how documentation is shared. By combining deep customer empathy for specialist workflows with technical excellence, Tennr builds software that actually gets used because it works with the system, not against it,” said Zeya Yang, Partner at IVP.

With more than 500K+ registered app users, the Grifin investment app turns regular shopping experiences into investment opportunities

TAMPA, Fla., June 18, 2025 — Grifin, an innovative investment app that reimagines investing by linking it to daily spending, today announced a $11M Series A investment funding round led by Nava Ventures, with participation from TTV, Draper Associates, Gaingels, Nevcaut Ventures, Alloy Labs, etc. With this round, Freddie Martignetti, Partner at Nava Ventures, will join Grifin’s Board of Directors. Martignetti’s previous investments include Warby Parker, FIGS Scrubs, Drizly, and Everly Health.

Grifin is the first investing app that makes investing fun and creates a sense of belonging, allowing people to take ownership in the brands they love. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee at Starbucks, buying groceries at Walmart, or streaming a show on Netflix, Grifin makes sure customers own a piece of the brands they buy from the most.

Grifin creates a fully personalized investment portfolio based on an investor’s everyday habits. No two people are alike and Grifin ensures no two investment accounts are either. Grifin’s technology is fully automated, constantly adapting to the investor’s lifestyle and shopping habits while offering complete control over investment amounts.

“We are thrilled to partner with Grifin in their mission to make investing fit into the daily lives of people across the country,” said Freddie Martignetti, Partner at Nava Ventures. “With more than 178 million uninvested Americans, Grifin has the potential to make a remarkably positive impact by helping their app users lay the foundation for long-term wealth building.” 

Built to Help Average People Overcome Investment Hesitation
The American investment gap is real: 86% of Americans don’t directly own any stock, and over 73% of the country doesn’t have a single dollar invested in a 401k or mutual fund. For most Americans, the stock market can be intimidating, with thousands of different investment products making it difficult for the average person to know where to invest.

There are many psychological factors that contribute to an individual’s reluctance to invest. Many people fear the complexities of investing and have apprehension about potential losses and market volatility. Grifin helps to normalize these complexities and creates value behind the ownership of the brands people are putting their money towards.

Grifin simplifies the process of investing by automatically purchasing stocks in companies where the investor is already a customer, helping people get started through the life they’re already living. Grifin automatically invests $1 per transaction. For example, if a Grifin user buys something at Walmart, the app transfers $1 from their bank account to their investment account, and they buy $1 of Walmart stock. Users can also manually increase the investment amount to their choosing. 

“We have always believed that investing should be positive and fun. Where it doesn’t feel like a second job, it simply feels like second nature,” said Aaron Froug, CEO and Co-Founder of Grifin. “Unlike traditional investing, Grifin instills confidence through action and connection. Our goal with Grifin is to build daily investment habits, different mindsets and change the relationship people have with the brands they love. This new funding enables us the fuel to scale a product that’s already proven its power to increase investing habits in a whole new way.”

A Year of Rapid Growth
Over the last year, Grifin has experienced rapid growth amassing 500k registered users and 50M+ views on social media – with the company seeing more than 100,000 new app installs in the last month alone. The majority of Grifin investors are women between the ages of 40 and 60, a traditionally under-invested group. Grifin’s data shows people spend more on their favorite brands, when they have ownership in them. For example, six months after buying Walmart stock, Grifin users spend 234% more at Walmart.

To date, Grifin has raised over $20 million. The company will use this new capital to expand its team, partner with HR platforms and consumer brands, build family plans so kids can start investing early, and expand Grifin’s offerings with the kinds of tools and experiences their users are asking for.

“Grifin has reimagined what investing can feel like,” said Bo Starr, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Griffin. “We are building not just a platform, but a new relationship between people and the brands they support.”

Grifin is currently available on iOS and Android, with new features and partnerships rolling out this year.

MCKINNEY, Texas, June 18, 2025 — Thousands, a revolutionary web3 protocol that transforms word-of-mouth marketing into a universal attribution infrastructure – together with sister company The Wildcard Alliance – today announced a joint $9 million fundraising round co-led by Arbitrum Gaming Ventures and Paradigm. The companies, founded by co-CEOs Paul and Katy Drake Bettner whose past work includes Words With Friends, Lucky’s Tale, and Age of Empires, have secured $6.5 million to date and expect to close the remaining funding over the next 60 days.

This new funding builds on the companies’ $46 million Series A raised in 2022, and will be used to accelerate development of their integrated ecosystem of products, utilizing the Thousands protocol and Thousands.tv platform to unlock new channels of creator-centric user acquisition and help launch their own upcoming game, Wildcard.

“It’s simple,” said Paul Bettner, co-CEO. “Wildcard only succeeds if its creators and community succeed. So we need a better way to reward these incredible contributors who drive immense value to the game. Thousands gives us the on-chain ‘rails’ to solve this problem, to record and reward user acquisition and conversion at every step of the funnel.”

“It’s simple,” said Paul Bettner, co-CEO. “Wildcard needed a better way to reward the incredible contributors who drive immense value to the game – the creators, the influencers, the super fans. Thousands gives us the on-chain ‘rails’ to solve this problem, to record and reward user acquisition and conversion at every step of the funnel.”

The synergy between Wildcard and Thousands has already demonstrated explosive growth. The Thousands network recorded over $800,000 in revenue in May 2025 alone, with an average revenue-per-stream of $50k, average viewer-to-payer conversion of 77%, and a new all-time-high revenue record at $134k — metrics that far exceed industry standards.

The Thousands network addresses an untapped, trillion dollar word-of-mouth economy, by making influence and attribution transparent, programmable, and incentive-aligned. The Thousands network enables creators and communities to earn instantly when their content drives conversions, while IP owners benefit from significantly lower customer acquisition costs compared to traditional channels.

“Thousands is redefining how games and content reach audiences,” said Rick Johanson, Founding Partner at Arbitrum Gaming Ventures. “Their web-native streaming layer – think Twitch meets WalletConnect – allows every connected viewer to become an active participant in an on-chain economy, transforming spectators into engaged users.”

“We believe in this game and we believe in this team,” said Dave White, Research Partner at Paradigm. “Paul, Kate, and team have created one of the most eagerly anticipated games in crypto and we’re very excited for what comes next.”

Since their initial funding, both platforms have achieved significant milestones. Wildcard was recently approved for release on Steam, where the 100k+ community are now playtesting Alpha builds of the game weekly, in preparation for Wildcard’s Early Access release later this year. These playtests are broadcast on Thousands.tv several times a week, helping to demonstrate the Thousands’ network’s ability to sustain engagement and monetization, with an average revenue _per viewer_ of $141 dollars.

“Thousands doesn’t feel like streaming. It’s no longer a one-way street.”, said Payton Kaleiwahea, content creator and founder of WolvesDAO, “Fans and creators are interacting; you’re not just watching the game. You’re connected to it. You’re inside it. With Thousands, being there matters, and that changes everything.”

About The Wildcard Alliance and Thousands

The Wildcard Alliance and Thousands are building the future of interactive entertainment, powered by communities. Founded by industry veterans Paul and Katy Drake Bettner, the companies are building disruptive new products at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, beloved IP, and fun. The Wildcard Alliance previously raised $46 million in 2022 from investors including Paradigm, Griffin Gaming Partners, and Sabrina Hahn. Learn more at  wildcardgame.com and thousands.tv.

BOSTON, June 18, 2025 — Maven AGI, the enterprise AI company unifying the full customer journey, today announced it has raised $50 million in Series B funding.

Several new investors are also becoming Maven customers and strategic partners, underscoring the company’s role as foundational infrastructure in the emerging AI-powered enterprise.

Originally focused on modernizing customer support, Maven AGI is now expanding across the full customer journey—connecting data, systems, and teams with agentic AI that drives business outcomes. The company’s Business AGI platform integrates seamlessly with enterprise systems to resolve issues, surface real-time insights, and improve performance at every customer touchpoint.

From the beginning, Maven has prioritized three core principles that set its platform apart for the enterprise:

• Speed – With more than 100 plug-and-play integrations, Maven enables customers to launch in days and realize value quickly.

The Series B funding will fuel Maven’s continued expansion, including accelerated product development and go-to-market efforts. In a fast-moving market, the company is prioritizing rapid distribution and working closely with a network of partners and investors who have scaled some of the most successful technology companies in the world.

“Maven AGI is tackling one of the fastest-growing markets globally, and they’ve assembled a team with unmatched expertise in customer experience and AI,” said Elana Lian, Partner at Dell Technologies Capital. “Their leadership’s hands-on understanding of scaling impactful solutions positions them to fundamentally transform how businesses engage with customers.”

Maven’s momentum includes:

• 0-40 enterprise customers over the last year
• $0–$7M in revenue in 2024
• Multi-year, seven-figure enterprise deals
• 100% customer renewal rate

With a team of more than 80 employees across Boston, New York, and San Francisco, Maven serves a diverse roster of customers. These include publicly traded companies like Ibex, Tripadvisor, and SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.; fintech leaders such as Rho, Check, and Papaya Pay; established enterprises like Clio; and fast-rising consumer brands including Paris Hilton’s Parivie Beauty.

“Maven is built for scale. As AI becomes the operating system of the enterprise, our mission is to ensure it delivers real business impact from sales to support and everything in between,” Corbin added.

Funding to Fuel Expansion of Mealogic’s Meal Delivery Platform, Helping Companies Launch Prepared Meal Delivery Programs that Drive Positive Health Outcomes and New Revenue Streams

WASHINGTON, June 18, 2025 — Mealogic, a leading ready-to-eat B2B2C meal delivery platform that enables companies of all types – including healthcare providers, wellness brands, and clinical programs – to unlock new revenue streams and deliver curated meals that meet specific nutritional standards, today announced that it has secured $16 million in funding to support the company’s rapid growth. The capital will enable Mealogic to deepen its end-to-end customer experience, scale business development, and expand access to convenient, high-quality, personalized nutrition solutions that support both the prevention and reversal of diet-related disease.

Mealogic attracted support from mission-aligned investors committed to improving health through food, including S2G Investments (lead investor), a multi-stage firm with a dedicated food and agriculture strategy, Dohmen Company Foundation, whose vision is life without diet-related disease, U.S. Venture Partners, and Unilever Ventures. Backed by this new investment, Mealogic is uniquely positioned to strengthen and expand the Food as Medicine market by further enabling both emerging and established organizations to deliver nutritious meals tailored to specific dietary standards.

“With strong investor backing and a bold vision, we’re entering a new chapter,” said Ryan Shadrick Wilson, Mealogic’s Executive Chairperson, “Launching a high-quality meal delivery program is hard, but Mealogic makes it easy. And now with a new leader and new capital, the company is ready for meaningful scale.”

“Mealogic is designed to be the engine behind today’s leading Food as Medicine companies,” said Derek Mansfield, CEO of Mealogic. “Our platform allows partners to deliver high-quality meals that reflect their unique dietary programs – whether they’re focused on metabolic health, complementing GLP-1 protocols, or any myriad of other nutrition-focused plans. We handle everything from e-commerce to food production to delivery, which frees up our partners to focus on growth, innovation, and the communities they serve. With more than 40 clients and over 25 science-backed dietary protocols, Mealogic is helping advance both prevention and treatment for diet-related health challenges.”

Unlike direct-to-consumer meal services, Mealogic operates as a white-label platform, enabling healthcare providers, wellness brands, and clinical programs to deliver curated meals that meet specific nutritional standards – such as low sodium, plant-based, or anti-inflammatory – under their own brand. Using a catalog of more than 5,000 nutritionally profiled meals, Mealogic’s system filters options based on each partner’s dietary requirements and handles everything from menu development and payment processing to production, delivery, and customer service.

Mealogic partners with a diverse network of producers across the country to ensure meals are not only health-supportive, but also fresh, locally sourced, culturally authentic, and rich in variety. Each week, the company offers more than 200 unique science-backed dishes designed to support positive health outcomes. With its seamless integration and turnkey model, Mealogic makes it easier for both emerging and established players to enter and scale within the Food as Medicine and healthy prepared meals market.

“Mealogic sits at the convergence of two of the most critical systems we believe we need to transform: food and health,” said Dan Ripma, Vice President at S2G Investments. “At a time when chronic conditions are surging and healthcare costs continue to climb, Mealogic offers providers a scalable, effective way to drive better outcomes through food. Many of our brand partners have shared that the platform has helped them reach new audiences and unlock additional revenue. In our view, it’s exactly the kind of solution needed to address today’s urgent health challenges and build a more sustainable, equitable food system.”

“The Dohmen Company Foundation is committed to strengthening the Food as Medicine ecosystem by supporting organizations like Mealogic that make it easier for providers and entrepreneurs to enter, grow, and thrive in this critical space,” said Rachel Roller, President and CEO of the Dohmen Company Foundation. “From startups to national healthcare systems, Mealogic offers the infrastructure needed to bring nutrition-forward meal programs to life. That kind of enablement is exactly what our country needs right now – a vibrant, expanding market of efficacious food-based health solutions that can reach more people, more effectively.”

The funding comes as Mealogic welcomes new leadership. Mansfield, who stepped into the CEO role earlier this year, brings a vision focused on impact, scalability, and strategic partnerships.

“We envision a future where food-based care is seamlessly integrated into everyday health, and we’re building the infrastructure to make that future possible,” said Mansfield.

LOS ANGELES, June 18, 2025 — All In Food announced its debut with the launch of its Madagascar Vanilla snack bar in retail stores across the U.S. The brand unveiled its name, mission, and look, marking a significant evolution in its impact model and consumer focus. The launch is backed by a $4 million funding round led by Obvious Ventures, fueling the company’s next stage of growth.

Initially co-founded by actress Kristen Bell as This Bar Saves Lives, the brand was acquired in 2022 by GOOD Worldwide, a social impact company that also owns media brand Upworthy. Now introduced as All In, the company enters the market with a renewed focus on crafting delicious, organic snacks, anchored by a mission to nourish communities and drive meaningful change.

“We are making bars that are absolutely craveable, and every bite brings something extra,” said James McGinnis, CEO of All In and longtime CPG leader. “We’re All In on ingredients that matter, business that gives back, and community-first action that starts close to home.”

McGinnis, a seasoned CPG executive, brings senior leadership experience from Clif Bar, Qualitas Health, and Indigo Wild. He previously held roles at major food and personal care companies, including Dial and Pinnacle Foods. Under his leadership, All In is growing its national retail footprint marking a significant milestone for the brand.

All In’s launch includes five snack bar flavors, all certified USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and palm oil free. Their kids-focused line is free from the top eight allergens and is safe for schools as it is produced in a dedicated nut-free facility.

The $4 million in new capital, led by Obvious Ventures, will support retail expansion, team growth, and ongoing R&D. “All In is exactly the kind of brand we look to back—one that delivers real impact without compromising quality or joy,” said James Joaquin, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Obvious Ventures.

All In is showing up where it counts—with snacks that taste amazing and a mission to give back,” said Max Schorr, CEO of GOOD Worldwide and All In board member. “All in represents a deepened commitment to what matters: great food, strong values, and community-first action. We’re delighted to launch the brand with Obvious Ventures and Kristen Bell and are energized for what’s ahead.”

New Inference-First Data Infrastructure Overcomes Pilot Paralysis Impacting the Majority of AI Initiatives; Frees Data and AI Teams to Focus on Innovation and Competitive Advantage vs. Managing Complex Infrastructure

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 18, 2025 — Typedef Inc., turning AI prototypes into scalable, production-ready workloads that generate immediate business value, today has come out of stealth mode with $5.5 million in seed funding led by early stage investors Pear VC with participation from Verissimo Ventures, Monochrome Ventures, Tokyo Black, and several angel investors.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure market is projected to reach $200 billion by 2028. With a new purpose-built AI data infrastructure for modern workloads, Typedef is helping AI and data teams overcome the well-documented epidemic affecting the bulk of enterprise AI projects – failure to scale. 

“It is extremely difficult to put AI workloads into production in a predictable, deterministic and operational way, causing most AI projects to linger in the prototype phase – failing to achieve business value or demonstrate ROI,” said Yoni Michael, Co-founder of Typedef. “The fact is, legacy data platforms weren’t built to handle LLMs, inference, or unstructured data. As a result, the workaround has been a patchwork of systems, aging technologies and tooling, or DIY frameworks and data-processing pipelines that are brittle, unreliable, and don’t scale. Typedef is righting these wrongs with a solution built from the ground up with features to build, deploy, and scale production-ready AI workflows – deterministic workloads on top of non-deterministic LLMs.”

Typedef makes it easy to run scalable LLM-powered pipelines for semantic analysis with minimal operational overhead. The developer-friendly solution manages all the complex properties of mixed AI workloads like token limits, context windows, and chunking through a clean, composable interface with the APIs and relational models engineers recognize. Typedef allows for rapid, iterative prompt and pipeline experimentation to quickly determine production-ready workloads that will demonstrate value – then realize that potential at scale.

“Data complexities and flawed data inputs are common obstacles on the journey to AI-readiness,” said Kostas Pardalis, Co-founder of Typedef. “AI and data teams want the same rigor and reliability they expect from traditional data pipelines. They want to supercharge their online analytic processing (OLAP) workloads with AI, extract new value from proprietary data, and run complicated agentic workloads with predictability and scalability. Typedef is making this possible, allowing teams to finally deliver on their AI promises to stakeholders.”

Typedef is completely serverless bypassing any infrastructure provisioning or configuration. Users simply download the open-source client library, connect their data sources and start building their AI or agentic pipelines with just a few lines of code. No complex setup, no infrastructure to provision, no brittle custom integrations to troubleshoot.

“Typedef lets us build and deploy semantic extraction pipelines across thousands of policies and transcripts in days not months,” said Lee Maliniak, Chief Product Officer at Matic, a leading insurance-tech platform that partners with top-rated carriers. “We’ve dramatically reduced the time it takes to eliminate errors caused by human analysis, significantly cut costs, and lowered our Errors and Omissions (E&O) risk.”

“Typedef is ushering in the new era of AI infrastructure where model training has given way to inference and where teams can build reliable, scalable, and cost-effective Large Language Model (LLM) workloads without the complexity or strain of managing infrastructure,” said Arash Afrakhteh, Partner at Pear VC. “I’ve backed this team because they’ve lived the problem, know what’s needed, and have the added experience of running data infrastructure startups to successful exits.”

BRNO, Czech Republic, June 18, 2025 — The European Union’s vision of digital sovereignty enters a new phase with the launch of DNS4EU, a public DNS resolver providing secure, privacy-focused, and reliable internet access to EU citizens. The service is led by Whalebone, a cybersecurity company born in the Brno region, one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for digital innovation and cyber resilience.

Developed within a European consortium with support from ENISA and national CERTs, DNS4EU is now fully operational and available to the public. It is the first EU-backed resolver offering a secure, transparent, privacy-first alternative to services like Google and Cloudflare.

DNS4EU includes several components: a public resolver; DNS4GOV, a commercial-grade service for governments and critical infrastructure; and a threat intelligence exchange network supporting secure DNS adoption and cross-border cybersecurity coordination.

“After years of building a global market leader position in large scale on-prem/hybrid deployments of protective DNS, we decided to step up and challenge Cloudflare and Google in the public resolver space. More privacy, more transparency and more dedication,” said Richard Malovič, CEO of Whalebone.

The launch highlights the Czech Republic’s growing role in Europe’s cybersecurity. With the center in Brno, the region is home to an active community of cybersecurity companies and a collaborative environment with global impact. Key institutions like Masaryk University and Brno University of Technology lead major European cybersecurity projects — QARC and CCAT — underscoring the region’s expertise in quantum-safe cryptography and certification. Both universities are also founding members of the CyberSecurityHub^CZ, a national competence center fostering collaboration across sectors.

According to a recent JIC report, cybersecurity is the region’s most dynamic tech sector by venture capital investment. In early 2025 alone, local companies secured almost €40 million — including rounds raised by Whalebone, Threatmark, and Safetica. This builds on Brno’s strong record of cybersecurity ventures that became international players, including the $28.4 million acquisition of Runecast and the sale of Flowmon Networks. The city also gave rise to AVG Technologies, the Czech Republic’s first unicorn, acquired by Avast in 2016 and now operating globally as Gen.

“Brno’s cybersecurity success is built on deep research, strong talent, and strategic support for startups,” said Petr Chládek, CEO, JIC innovation agency. “DNS4EU proves the region can deliver digital sovereignty at a European scale.”
