Astra provides an interactive pentest dashboard which allows users to visualize vulnerability analysis, assign vulnerabilities to team members, collaborate with security experts, and to collaborate with security experts. The integrations with CI/CD platforms and Jira are also available if users don't wish to return to the dashboard each time they want to use it or assign a vulnerability for a team member.

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control. VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams. For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring. VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.

Fathom is an AI meeting assistant that helps users capture, summarize, search, and act on meetings with less manual work. The platform creates accurate transcripts, instant summaries, action items, and follow-up notes so users can focus on live conversations instead of taking notes. Fathom supports both traditional meeting capture and bot-free capture through its desktop app. Teams can use Fathom as a shared source of truth across customer calls, internal meetings, strategy sessions, and project conversations. Ask Fathom lets users search across meetings and ask questions about conversations, decisions, commitments, risks, and next steps. The platform also supports topic monitoring so important moments and signals are easier to find. Fathom syncs meeting notes, insights, and action items into tools such as Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Asana, Gmail, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier, and API or MCP workflows.

Engineering teams shipping with AI have a new bottleneck: validation. Code output has accelerated. Quality hasn't. Checksum closes the gap. Checksum is a continuous quality platform with a suite of AI agents that handle testing end-to-end, at every stage of the development lifecycle. Where most tools wait for a human to trigger them, Checksum runs autonomously in the background, generating tests, executing them, and repairing failures without manual intervention. Seventy percent of test failures are resolved automatically through real-time auto-recovery. The platform covers every layer: end-to-end UI flows via Playwright, API endpoint chains, and targeted CI tests scoped to exactly what changed in a PR. All tests land as real code in your repository and are delivered as standard Playwright, owned by your team. Checksum is fine-tuned on 1.5+ million test runs and integrates natively with Cursor, Claude Code, and 100+ AI coding agents. Type /checksum and your coding agent's output gets tested before it ever reaches review. Generation and healing happen on Checksum's cloud infrastructure which means no LLM tokens consumed, no local resources required. The result: test suites that stay green as the product evolves, fewer regressions reaching production, and release confidence that scales alongside AI output.

Okyline is an Executable Data Design (EDD) platform focused on executable validation contracts and operational data quality control. Rather than managing separate specifications, validation code, tests, and monitoring dashboards, Okyline centralizes validation and quality supervision around a single readable executable contract acting as the operational reference for enterprise data flows. The same contract powers deterministic validation, advanced business invariant checks, multi-format execution, data quality gates, and historical quality analytics across APIs, events, files, LLM structured outputs, and distributed operational systems. Contracts are designed directly from annotated sample data, making validation rules immediately understandable for developers, architects, QA teams, and business analysts. The Community Edition includes the public specification, a free Java runtime engine, a Claude AI assistant for contract generation, and an online studio supporting executable JSON validation contracts and JSON Schema transpilation. The Enterprise Edition adds native validation for JSONL, XML, CSV, FIXED, and EDI flows together with operational quality dashboards and data quality gates, without requiring databases or centralized infrastructure.erprise Edition supports direct validation of JSON, JSONL, XML, CSV, FIXED, and EDI flows with operational quality dashboards and analytics, without databases.
