Join us for Workers Launchpad Demo Day, where you’ll have a chance to meet the innovative startups selected for our annual cohorts.
Cloudflare launched the Workers Launchpad Funding Program in 2022 to help support the over one million developers building on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform, many of which are startups leveraging Cloudflare to ship faster, scale more efficiently, and accelerate their growth.
The funding program initially launched to provide up to $1.25 billion of financing to startups building applications on Cloudflare Workers , a highly-scalable serverless computing platform that allows developers to build or augment apps without configuring or maintaining infrastructure. In the days and weeks following, Cloudflare received a surge in interest globally from venture capitalists interested in joining the program. Cloudflare has now welcomed additional venture capital partners into the program, adding regional expertise in Australia and Latin America to the pool of partners.
Are you a founder? If you’re a founder building on Cloudflare Workers, head to cfl.re/launchpad to learn more about the program and apply to be a part of the next available cohort -- applications are now open !
Are you an investor? If you’re an investor or a potential customer looking to get in touch with any of the presenting companies, please reach out directly to the Workers Launchpad team.
Welcome to the Cloudflare Workers Launchpad Demo Day. This is the fifth time we've done this, and it's so amazing to see all the companies that are there.
I'm Matthew Prince.
I'm one of the co-founders of Cloudflare and the CEO. And I just love when you get an opportunity to launch a new company.
At Cloudflare, I really remember the first time that we launched over 15 years ago now.
Stepping on stage, presenting all of the work that you've done, it's really almost a sacred moment.
And so I can't be more excited for the people and companies that are launching today at this.
We've had an explosion in AI. Everyone knows this in the recent years.
And we've seen a shift in this at companies that are participating in Workers Launchpad.
In this wave, we have founders that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, building in areas like AI-powered agents, cybersecurity, advanced developer tooling, MCP, which is one of the protocols that we think might end up connecting various agents across the Internet together, media and beyond.
We even have companies that are working in the physical construction space.
It's such a cool group of you who are getting to launch today.
We've been continuously impressed with the 29 startups that are participating in this batch.
And we've got an amazing lineup for you today.
These companies represent 10 different countries across four continents, showcasing how truly global the reach of innovation is and what you can build on a global network like Cloudflare's Connectivity Cloud.
And we're proud of the fact that nearly a third of the companies that are launching today are female-led.
And again, as someone who started a company with a woman as a co-founder, I think that's just great that we have great diversity across the companies.
So congratulations on everyone who's launching today. Can't be more excited for you.
Good luck. And I'm gonna be following what you do as you go forward from today.
So congratulations and good luck today. Hello there. My name is Chris Rodas, and I support startups and growth initiatives for a developer go-to-market team.
Up next, we have an amazing slate of innovative startups in the network and cybersecurity space.
Let's check out what they built. Hello.
My name is Saeed Atabaki, and I'm the founder and CEO of MagicRAI. Currently, 90% of companies fail external painters, and still traditional methods requires up to six weeks and cost an average 50K per assessment.
At MagicRAI, we built a platform that delivers compliance-ready painters within just two days, with continuous validation and unlimited retest.
Every growth we see in the network and growing company faces critical security challenge today.
As traditional paint test methods are flawed and they usually takes weeks to complete, this creates significant delay.
By the time results are available, the software has already changed and potentially new vulnerabilities has been introduced.
This outdated approach creates a threat to security.
In fact, 60% of breaches occur in companies that externally conduct the painters.
Combined with shortage of qualified security testers, this has left many businesses exposed to critical vulnerabilities right now.
MagicRAI addresses this challenge through our innovative AI-powered painters as a service platform.
Here's how it works. Users initiate assessments with a single click.
For AI, instantly identify and map their complete attack surface, including data and network assets.
Users can choose between black or gray box methodologies and select either internal or external environments.
For AI-driven agents, then conduct assessment, which can be integrated into a CICD pipeline and ticketing management solutions.
Users will receive compliance-ready reports within hours.
After remediation, we offer unlimited retests at no additional cost, saving a typical retest fee.
And the result, enterprise-grade security delivered quickly and affordably.
Let me briefly demonstrate MagicRAI in action.
For AI identifies asset and vulnerabilities and even recommends remediation in real time.
Each finding is automatically mapped to compliance standards and users can explore reporting multiple formats, including PDF as shown on the screen.
Our initial target market is B2B SaaS companies, those with under 500 employees and have short sales cycle.
These businesses currently spend about 200K annually on fragmented security testing solutions.
In the future, we'll expand into larger enterprise government sectors.
The painters market is substantial and expanding rapidly. The market is projected to increase from 2.5 billion today to 6.5 billion by 2032, representing a 17% CAGR.
Leveraging our scalable pre-asset pricing model, we aim to capture significant market share within five years.
Our competitive advantage comes from exceptional talent.
Our security experts hold top certification on published research, complemented by 20 years of technical expertise in AI and cybersecurity, and over 10 years in enterprise security sales.
Our unique integration of AI with deep cybersecurity expertise differentiates us from generic AI solutions.
In closing, please remember these three points. Compliance drives 75% of painters.
We simplify compliance dramatically. We deliver results in just two to three days instead of weeks and we are positioned to lead in a rapidly expanding 6 billion painters in market.
If you're passionate about building the future of cybersecurity, please reach out to me directly via email.
Thank you. Hi, my name is Jonathan and I'm the co-founder and CEO of New Harbor.
New Harbor is an AI security platform that ensures consistent security across all your company's applications.
Even those your IT team doesn't know about. With the explosion of online tools and AI, it has never been easier for employees to try or create new tools on a whim.
While this has led to huge productivity increases, it has also become a nightmare for IT security teams to manage.
Whether it's figuring out which apps are being used, configuring those apps securely, preventing misuse of company data, or ensuring security policies are being consistently enforced, security teams are fighting a never-ending battle.
New Harbor makes it easy to detect which apps are being used throughout your organization and ensure consistent security across them all at once.
Our AI -enabled browser extension and API integrations eliminate security blind spots by shining light on unapproved apps and shadow IT.
You can then push security rules to these discovered apps without the need to purchase enterprise licenses for every application.
This makes it easy to consistently enforce security policies and meet IT compliance requirements.
Whether your company is 50 people or 50,000, the opportunity for last-mile IT security is only going to grow.
The average large company today uses over 350 web apps, and shadow IT can account for 30 to 50% of overall IT spend.
New Harbor allows companies to both secure these apps as well as consolidate and reduce IT spend.
We started New Harbor after experiencing the challenge of managing SaaS security firsthand and realizing that existing tools are ill-suited to address this new era of AI and shadow IT.
We've brought together a diverse group of passionate individuals from government, nonprofits, and large tech who are passionate about making security more accessible and more human.
Just like Plaid made it easy to connect your bank to any app, we're making it easy to integrate with and secure any app.
New Harbor is the first tool that allows you to detect, configure, and secure any application in an organization.
If you're interested in learning more or know companies who are looking to solve this problem, we'd love to chat.
Hey, I'm Austin, the founder and CEO of Zero Sum Defense.
We're building a product called Actualize to help you enable digital freedom and protect all the devices, data, identities, and networks that you're responsible for.
One of the main challenges that I've experienced is trying to understand all of the pieces that I need to take care of in my personal life, whether it's my devices, my various identities, such as as an employee or an individual, as well as the things that I should be doing to keep my home network safe and also take care of others in my digital community, whether they're a phone number in my contacts book or I'm looking to protect information about my house or other things like that.
What I found is that there's no system that helps me connect across everything that I need to take care of.
And even more so, I feel like a lot of the security that I have to do today isn't really effectively helping me take care of the things that I know are important to me.
To achieve this, I've partnered with my co-founder who's a lawyer and is very experienced in the healthcare segment.
And we're working to build a system that is compliant by design, secure by design, and private by design that will allow even non-technical users to take control of exactly what they need to do and minimize the amount of complexity in their life.
One of the things that's very important to me is digital minimalism.
So understanding how and where I'm sharing information is something that's very important to take care of.
One thing that I think that we will see in the future is that as digital technology emerges, trust and usability will be the key factors that determine adoption and success.
As I look at technologies like Web3 and cryptocurrencies that are coming out, the thing that I ask myself is what do I need to do to take advantage of these technologies without sacrificing my privacy or otherwise ending up in a bad situation?
I've built Actualize in order to achieve just this, helping each and every person look after the things that they need to do to be safe and secure online and overall reducing the complexity, whether they're a solopreneur, someone who manages online brands, or someone who's just concerned with their security and privacy online.
I'd love to see your feedback and it would be fantastic to have an opportunity to partner with you all.
Please feel free to visit us and get started with your new digital identity online today.
Hey everyone, I'm Veronica Menin from the DevRel team and next up is the AI tooling section.
These startups are building tools that help teams move a lot faster, saying launching websites, improving sales outreach, creating smarter user experiences and more.
So let's dive in and see what they're building.
I'm Mukund Ramaratnam, Chief Revenue Officer at Remix Labs and I'm excited to talk to you about our digital experience platform.
We believe that the future is all about digital experiences everywhere.
They will be AI powered, you'll see them in all aspects of business, such as sales engagement, employee engagement, customer experience, customer support, just to name a few.
Now with Remix, you can build these experiences visually, rapidly, with the help of AI.
You can deploy them in edge environments, scale.
You can automate your workflows using the library of agents and connectors and components that come with the Remix platform.
The result, faster time to value, significant cost efficiencies and superior customer experiences.
Essentially, Remix plus AI is your superpower for agentic digital experiences.
Why Remix?
Well, today's digital experience world tends to be generic and disjointed with a one size fits all approach.
With very little context or personalization, it's expensive to build and maintain.
In the future, these will be intelligent and personalized.
You'll tailor customer experiences for each customer.
These will be AI powered, they can be embeddable in various contexts. Importantly, they'll cost a fraction of what they do today.
The market opportunities are huge.
These are just three example areas. You can improve chat and customer engagement significantly.
Investments in data lakes can be now leveraged to build personalized digital experiences at scale.
Companies can begin to address the SaaS problem and simplify their tech stack.
I'm going to do a very quick demo of our surveys as digital experiences to give you an illustration of what's possible.
This is Remix Studio. There's a bunch of survey templates already built.
There's several agents down here. One of these agents can take in a prompt for a specific request, let's say, and send that to an LLM and bring back a set of questions and answers that can then populate a survey template.
In this example, I went to create a survey screen and essentially gave it a prompt that said, give me a customer satisfaction survey for attendees of the Grateful Dead concert this weekend that's coming up in San Francisco.
You click generate, you get the survey link.
Now, keep in mind, this link has already been deployed and is now available to view on my mobile device.
And I can actually literally take that survey. So as you can see, you can build and deploy these at scale and then with Cloudflare, you can also deliver these at scale.
For more questions, please contact me, mukund.remixlabs.com, and you can check out some more examples of these digital experiences here at the QR code below.
Thank you. Hi, I'm Anton, and this is a quick demo of Sonora.
Sonora is an AI -native customer intelligence platform that synthesizes feedback across emails, calls, support, external Slack channels, and more.
Let me show you how it works. This is our web interface, your window into customer intelligence.
You can start with a natural language query or use a pre -built template.
I'll pick a template to identify at-risk customers approaching renewal.
What you see is that our Sonora instance is connected to customer data in Gmail, Zoom, Zendesk, and Salesforce.
While working on our request, Sonora is pulling information from these systems, and you can see a chain of thought on the right-hand side.
Sonora highlights key insights across our customer-centric systems, which are summarized into clear, actionable bullet points you can dig into or refine with follow-up prompts.
And when you need the full picture, you can dive into the original sources.
Your emails, Zoom transcripts, and support tickets all index and link directly from the results.
Now, let's switch to the Customers tab. I'll open Meetly, one of our demo customers.
At the top, you see the data pool from Salesforce.
In the middle, there are top issues and feature requests. And on the right, you can see customer touchpoints and sentiment derived from real interactions across all channels.
When connected, product usage data would also appear to help your team spot risky customers early.
Integrations are simple and one-click.
We distinguish between connectors that bring the data in and plugins that embed Sonora into your existing tools.
Our Sonora instance is already connected to Slack, so let me quickly show you how that works.
Here, you can also prompt Sonora with natural language or templates.
But what's powerful is that teams can collaborate with Sonora directly in channels, bringing the voice of the customer closer to everyone.
This is just a glimpse of what Sonora can do. Find us at usonora.com for early access.
Hi, I'm Mohamed Ali, CEO and founder of DuckTies.
At DuckTies, our mission is simple. We want to make it incredibly easy for any service provider to productize what they do and launch a selling website all in less than 30 minutes.
I've talked to many freelancers and service providers, and most of them don't even have an online booking system because they just don't know how to set one up.
And they want to stop trialing hourly and move to clear service packages with stable monthly income, but they don't know where to start.
And most available tools focus too much on the website, not the actual service itself.
They offer too many options, which confuses and frustrates some people.
And once the website is done, there's no help with selling subscriptions or managing clients.
And that's exactly what we're fixing with DuckTies. Instead of wasting time on layouts and setup, users focus on their service.
DuckTies structure the offer, where they copy and launch us fast so they can start selling.
And productizing the service is really that simple.
You just write a description of what you offer, click a button, and DuckTies creates everything for you.
A full service description, clear service packages, and suggests also the pricing and even the features.
You can tweak anything you want, but it gives you a solid starting point in just a few seconds.
And also, launching your website is just as smooth.
You just have to pick a template, add a few details about your target audience and their challenges, select the writing style, and choose the service you want to include.
Then DuckTies generates all the website content automatically.
That's it. Hit that save button, and just like that, the website is live, professional, and ready for bookings.
And once someone books your service, you need to stay organized.
And DuckTies gives you a very simple dashboard to track clients, manage tasks with the Kanban board, and have also the possibility to connect with tools like Zapier, NNN, or Mate to automate things after a booking happens.
DuckTies is free to start. No monthly fees or upfront costs.
We charge only 5% on the first 1000 euros each month, and after that, just 3% capped at 250 euros per transaction.
And the service economy is huge, and it's growing fast.
Millions of freelancers and small businesses are either still offline or struggling to sell their services effectively online.
We are targeting exactly these providers, people who want to sell online but don't have the right tools or technical knowledge to get started.
It's a big growing market. And to scale DuckTies over the next 12 months, we are raising 400,000 euros.
This funding will help us grow our team, speed up customer acquisition, and keep improving our product.
If you believe, like I do, that service providers deserve better tools, I'd love to connect.
Thanks for watching.
Hey everyone, my name is Ajay. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Dreamlet AI, a vibe coding platform for automated emails.
Think lovable, bolt, replet, but purpose-built for product notifications.
Let's say you've just vibe coded an app, and now you're excited to get it in the hands of real users.
Well, you're probably gonna need to add emails into your app.
Unfortunately, adding emails to a vibe coded app can be quite technical and complicated, and that's partially because traditional email platforms aren't designed for vibe coders.
They're really built for engineers.
That's exactly why we built Dreamlet. With Dreamlet, it's just a few clicks and a few prompts, and you can set up all of your email workflows.
Let me show you how it works.
All right, suppose we wanna set up a simple welcome email workflow.
When a user signs up in your app, you wanna hit them with an email welcoming them to your product.
Now, I'm lazy, and I don't wanna set this up myself.
So I'm just gonna ask Dreamlet to set this up for me. Now, the way that Dreamlet works is it actually sits on top of your database.
And so what it's doing right now is it's analyzing my database schema and then putting together a plan to then go ahead and implement my workflow.
Great, now we have a plan.
We can spot check the agent's assumptions to make sure everything looks good, and then once we're ready, we can go ahead and start applying the plan.
So in Dreamlet, every workflow begins with a trigger. And in this case, since we wanna send our users an email when they sign up, that corresponds to a new user being added to your users table.
Next, we wanna personalize our email, so we're gonna bring in some additional information, in this case, who actually invited the user.
And then, of course, we wanna send the email. And just for fun, we'll also send ourselves an internal Slack whenever a user signs up in our app.
Now we can, of course, take a look at the email as well and verify that it looks good.
And with Dreamlet, you get beautiful, professional, and branded emails right out of the box without lifting a finger.
And because Dreamlet sits on top of your database, you can actually get previews of your emails with live data coming from your database.
So this is a great way to build confidence in your workflows before you even launch them.
Amazing.
Now we're ready to publish, and that's just clicking one button, and then we're live.
As simple as that. Now, zooming out, vibe coding is freaking awesome, okay?
It empowers literally every single person on the planet, regardless of their technical expertise, to enter the world of entrepreneurship and bring their ideas to life.
And so my co-founder and I are stoked to be part of the movement. We really wanna dedicate our professional lives, bring our combined two decades of software engineering and startup experience, and help vibe coders complete their vibe stack with Dreamlet.
If you can dream it, we want you to Dreamlet. Thanks for listening, and I'll catch you next time.
Hey, everyone. My name's Colin Guest.
I'm the CEO and founder of Siren, which is building the world's best AI -native sales enablement platform.
So when I talk about sales enablement, I'm talking about these three pillars, which are hiring, making sure that you're hiring the best salespeople you possibly can.
Training, which is once you hire those really good salespeople, training them up as quickly and effectively as possible.
And then in production, after they're trained up, getting them selling, closing at their optimum potential.
So where Siren has started off is in the role-play arena, and we're building out from there.
So when we look at something like role-play, which is something that a lot of sales organizations do quite frequently to practice their sales skills, a sales rep will practice sales conversations with a member of the training staff, whether that's a sales enablement manager or their sales or business development manager.
Now, this can be very effective because they're simulating a sales conversation, which based on psychological research is one of the best ways to learn and practice your craft, but it's not very scalable because for each sales rep, there has to be a member of the training staff and people are expensive.
So what we've come up with is an AI role-play, which mimics that very conversation that they'd have with a member of the training staff, but it's always there.
So you don't have to worry about scheduling with your manager or anything, and it's much less expensive.
So it's basically 10 times more effective at one-tenth of the cost compared to traditional sales training.
Now, traditional sales training, there's about 15 billion spent on traditional sales training alone.
Now, that's just a piece of the sales enablement platform that we're building, but it should give you an idea of how big of an opportunity this is.
Now, here's a little bit about the SIREN team.
I'm the founder and CEO. I co -founded this with a prior coworker of mine where we built many AI applications at our previous company where we were working as technical consultants.
And we liked doing that so much that we left that company to start our own thing, which is now SIREN.
So in summary, SIREN is an AI sales enablement platform that hires, trains, and helps sellers sell much, much better and more effectively, 10 times more effectively at one-tenth of the cost, and it's built entirely on Cloudflare.
So thank you so much, and I appreciate your time.
Hey, everyone, it's Alex Malebranche, leading the startups, venture capital, and accelerators here at Cloudflare.
I'm really excited that you've chosen to join us in helping to build the next wave of the Internet.
I'm here to introduce the next five companies that are gonna be building in something really cool right now.
That's AI Agents and MCP. For those who don't know, AI Agents are autonomous systems that can make decisions and take actions on our behalf, like a digital teammate.
And MCP is the framework that allows multiple AI Agents to work together, share tasks, and solve more complex problems faster and more intelligently.
We can't wait to see what these five companies are cooking up.
Hi, my name is Aman.
I'm the co-founder and CDO of Lematic Air. And today I'm really excited to share with you how Lematic helps early stage B2B SaaS founders and software development agencies ship AI features 10 times faster than the traditional methods.
One of the most important lesson I learned in building startups in my career was the importance of speed.
The faster you ship features, the more you learn, and the better your chances of success.
This has never been more important in the today's day and age of growing AI opportunity.
Everybody building SaaS applications need an AI middleware that connects different AI technologies like large language model, vector databases, different AI tooling together and provide a seamless integration to the SaaS product.
This AI middleware is expected to grow by 32% over the next 10 years and reach 30 billion in the next 10 years.
But today, the challenge with this layer is that everybody has to build it themselves, which requires complex infrastructure, expensive talent to build and maintain these technologies.
And these layers are constantly breaking because AI is moving really, really fast.
All in all, just for us to build a simple MVP takes six months and over $100,000 to get to the first version and not even generating revenue.
The bigger challenge is that every startup building AI products today has to build this layer itself, repeating the same cycle over and over again.
That's why we build a MATIC, a single fully managed platform that helps connect different models, data and apps over a single fully managed middleware using a visual builder and offer that as a single GraphQL API deployed on high-performance serverless edge.
We call this layer the intelligence middleware.
This is how it is offered. We offer an end-to-end platform, which offers a collaborative builders where low-code users and technical users can build agentic workflows by dragging different AI components and node into a visual builder.
And we offer built-in integration to different models, data apps and app providers.
This is deployed as a serverless edge worker over to the Cloudflare network, giving the compliance security and scale required to build high -performance AI applications.
We offer this as a product-led model where developers can try us for free and build their prototypes and MVPs.
And then early stage founders can use us at a very affordable pricing and which gives a very generous API limit.
We're really excited to report that customers are loving this. They have reported over 10 times faster development and deployment in shipping new features and saved more than $50,000 annually on building with Lematic.
The team behind this is a team of super smart serial tech entrepreneurs who have built and exited multimillion dollars SaaS and AI products.
We ship continuously and we ship really, really fast.
So who wants to join a rocket ship for the fastest launch of their AI applications?
Scan this link to get free credits as part of the Cloudflare startup program.
And if you're investors, contact us on how you can join a rocket ship and help us scale.
Thank you and have a great day. Hey there Cloudflare, Orlando, co-founder of Toolhouse.
We built an AI trailer that explains exactly what we do.
Hey there Cloudflare, it's Alex from Toolhouse and I've got a story to share.
Imagine a new freeway. It stretches across the horizon faster than anything we've ever seen.
It's called the AI freeway. And right now everyone's rushing to get on it but here's the problem, there are no cars.
You can buy parts, wheels, engines, gearboxes if you know where to look but you've got to build the car yourself.
And most people, they're not mechanics, they're drivers. They just want to get on the road.
They want to go fast. They want to do something.
That's where Toolhouse comes in. We are the Tesla of the AI freeway, but better.
Because we don't just sell cars, we build them for you in seconds. You type what you want, schedule my meetings, book my travel, reply to my emails.
Toolhouse builds the agent, deploys it, connects it to over 1000 tools, Slack, Salesforce, Gmail, Zoom, out of the box.
No code, no config, no PhD in machine learning.
Just type, go, done. This isn't just automation, this is the future of work.
Right now agents are doing tasks. Tomorrow they'll be our co -founders, co-writers, co-thinkers, anticipating what we need before we ask.
And the demand, it's not coming.
It's already here. In six months, we've powered over 2 million MCP executions.
Over 60 unique agents are running every single month.
Our ARR up 70% last month alone. We're already trusted by Nvidia, Qualcomm, Cloudflare.
The pioneers building the infrastructure of tomorrow. But here's the truth.
This isn't about agents, it's about access. The AI revolution should not belong only to engineers.
It should belong to the developer, the entrepreneur, the lady at the flower shop who just wants to spend less time on admin and more time making people smile.
Toolhouse is the democratization of AI agency. We are not just building a product, we are building the operating system for human amplification.
And right now we're not just growing, we're accelerating with Toolhouse.
And there you have it, Toolhouse.ai.
Start building your agents today. Hi, I am Felipe, CTO and co-founder of Skyward.
We started Skyward because compliance is a function that's meant to protect companies, has become a bottleneck.
Our mission is to give compliance teams the tools that they need to move fast without breaking the rules.
Regulations are growing, but compliance teams are not. Most still rely on spreadsheet, emails, and late night audits.
And the result, well, it's burnout and ballooning costs and scaring enough missed risks.
We serve compliance teams in regulated industries.
This is FinTech, legal, insurance, retail. Skyward is their AI co-pilot.
It ingests frameworks, automates evidence reviews, monitors and controls coverage, and suggests modifications to the risk model, whether they're policy changes or when the regulation updates.
We built Skyward for how compliance actually happens.
Messy, collaborative, and urgent. And it works. Customers have already uploaded complex risk models and saved hundreds of hours in audit prep by using Skyward, with their agents running dozens of real reviews, saving them time and headache.
This isn't a niche problem. Compliance is 1% of the workforce in the US and Europe, and $48 billion in potential software spend in financial services alone.
And this will keep growing as laws get more complex. The AI native players who solve this well, well, they'll win big.
And we have a top tier solving this problem.
Christian led legal and compliance operations across six countries, including YC-backed FinTech companies.
Joaquin, our CEO, helped craft digital regulations for platforms like Uber and led B2B sales in fast code startups.
And myself, lately I built core infrastructure at OpenAI and led infrastructure teams at Brex.
We've led this problem from every side, as regulators, operators, and technologists.
And we're acting as compliance officers ourselves inside a few of our customers.
In the end, Skyward is purpose-built for compliance teams, powered by AI agents and not static software, and led by a team that has lived the problem from every angle and is scaling fast.
Before we finish, I wanna thank the Cloudflare team for giving us the opportunity to participate in this program.
If Skyward is something that excites you or you wanna get access to it, let us know, our email is on the screen.
Thank you so much. Hi, I'm Samrat, CEO and co-founder of Unravel.
Are you tired of wasting hours on stressful research for your next investment?
Unravel's agentic AI platform delivers high quality end-to-end business research at speed, scale, and zero stress.
People complain that deep research by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, et cetera, fail badly at research and enterprise workflows.
They offer surface-level answers and miss domain-specific accuracy.
Integrating proprietary data demands manual sourcing and cleanup.
High quality data is crucial for accuracy, but prohibitively expensive for SMBs.
Major AI platforms are resource-heavy, unsustainable, and unprofitable, even at premium subscription tiers.
Unravel solves these problems with a multi-agentic framework built from ground up for efficiency, scalability, and profitability from day one.
Our purpose-built MCP provides easy, low-latency access to deep residing data, making us fast and accurate.
We meet three out of 14 Y Combinator's Spring 2025 startup ideas. With Cloudflare, we take this a notch further.
We are deploying a globally distributed agentic network for super -fast, resilient, cost-effective performance anywhere in the world.
Here's a quick competitive analysis demo on Unravel.
We'll define competitors in columns and research attributes like pros, cons, positioning, et cetera, in rows.
Unravel generates a crisp competitive matrix exportable as a document or slide deck for my sales team.
You can also connect your MCP to an AI client like ChatGPT.
In this case, we shall connect it to Cloudflare Playground and ask for Intel on Microsoft Entrep.
We get crisp insights ready to use in sales paddle cards.
Unravel covers the full spectrum of business research from market and data analysis to customer interviews and beyond.
We have an organic waiting list of professionals from leading companies, universities, investors, all from a single Reddit thread and zero marketing.
We saw many AI startups shut down as the AI landscape matured.
Unlike these resource -hungry and rigid-to-scale AI startups, Unravel is built to be profitable and sustain this market maturity.
Our agentic framework can also be offered as a platform as a service, creating a secondary revenue stream.
The service available market, SAM, exceeds $4.8 billion with strong growth in market analytics and automation software projected to reach 12 billion by 2030.
We are two founders with deep expertise in startup founding, growth, go-to-market, sales, and engineering.
We are raising our pre-seed round and would love to connect. Please write to us at the above email address and let's change research together.
Thank you. We're Promptius, and we're building the trusted intelligence platform that transforms AI into an engine of scale from developer workflows to enterprise assistants and agents.
AI promises efficiency, but enterprises face a crisis.
Fragmented AI tools that don't talk to each other, inconsistent outputs forcing endless reprompting, and compliance nightmares in regulated industries.
Meanwhile, knowledge workers struggle between chat GPT and their actual work systems, losing context with every switch.
Promptius is a complete AI orchestration platform.
We started with our visual workflow builder, where developers create neurons, serverless AI workflows with built-in governance.
Over 500 developers and organizations have already used this to route requests between models, employing guardrails, and cut costs by up to 50%.
This grew into our enterprise offering that integrates with enterprise collaboration solutions like Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365.
Think chat GPT, but with access to your company's knowledge, compliance controls, and the ability to actually take action like trigger workflows that behave how enterprises choose to.
We're truly the one platform to rule AI for enterprise.
Today, the AI orchestration market is $7 billion and growing exponentially.
As organizations move from chat GPT experiments to mission-critical AI, they need our platform.
We're targeting enterprises in healthcare, finance, government, and other industries where trust is crucial.
A $2 billion segment that demands trust, compliance, and control.
Our founding team has spent 10 years together shipping AI to the world. We're building secure systems for governments and Fortune 500s.
We're all repeat founders who've previously delivered mission-critical software from digital identity infrastructure for federal agencies to critical logistic systems for global pharma.
We don't just understand enterprise needs, we've lived them.
We're making AI boring in the best way. Reliable, compliant, scalable. We're not building another AI tool.
We're building the infrastructure that makes AI work for enterprise.
Join us at Prometiz .com. Hey, I'm John. I'm a product advocate at Cloudflare and I work with startups to help them get the most out of our platform.
Developer tools are foundational. They shape how quickly teams can build, scale, and adapt.
That's what the Cloudflare Dev Platform is designed for.
We provide a suite of end-to-end primitives to build and deploy full stack applications directly on our global network.
With performance, scale, and security built in so teams can focus on building.
Each of the companies you're about to hear from has used Cloudflare to move faster, streamline their stack, and bring real solutions to the market.
Let's take a quick look. Hi, I'm Romil, Chief AI Officer at Firmly.
Firmly is an agent e-commerce platform that allows the consumers to buy whatever they are, whatever the inspiration strikes.
And all that requiring zero changes from the merchant's websites. At Firmly, we tackle one of the most fundamental problems on e-commerce.
On one side, we have many merchants with several products that they want to offer through these various channels.
However, for the merchants to integrate on each and every channel separately, it's not scalable.
On the other side, the channels also have the audience and they want the merchants to come and offer their products.
But again, it is not scalable for the channels to integrate to each and every merchant separately.
That's where Firmly comes in. Firmly utilizes AI to help inference and understand how the merchant's website work and how it communicates with its backend and order management system.
Then we determine what's the best course of action to place the order safely to the system of the merchant.
Once that's done, the channels can integrate to Firmly just once and they can leverage all the merchants that we support without additional work for one by one.
We offer MCP server for AI agents to communicate to us and place orders in any of the websites.
It's a single MCP server that will integrate you to any of the websites that we already support.
That allows you to get real-time inventory availability information, real -time pricing, interact with the catalog, do the cart management and checkout.
Additionally, we support wallets such as PayPal, Click2Pay and many more.
We recently partnered with Perplexity to power their shopping experience and we'd like to have all of you on board as well.
Whether you are a merchant or you're a channel or you're an application, come to firmly.ai and get in touch with us.
Hi, I'm Anton, co-founder and CEO of AceMate AI and we're building an AI platform for personalized learning and teaching.
Every student and every educator will integrate AI into their workflows in the future.
But right now we're facing a lack of personalization at most universities.
Educators cannot cater to every student's individual needs, which leads to a teaching to the middle.
With AI, we now in the first time have the opportunity to offer this one-to-one learning experience on a scale and democratize access to personalized education.
So we built this AI learning and teaching platform that transforms documents into an interactive learning experience.
Users upload the materials and gain access to various AI features such as generating mock exams, flashcards, mind maps, summaries and more.
The learning progress is tracked in our knowledge graph and our interactive AI tutor adapts the content to the individual learner's needs in real time, focusing on the weakest areas of the students.
We not only help university students with exam preparation, but also have our separate offering for universities and educational institutions.
Educators can upload and curate their own documents, generate AI content and send it out to the whole class.
With that, they not only increase student engagement, but also gain invaluable insights about the learner's understanding.
So we started out in March of 2024 and reached 350,000 euros ARR from a combination of our B2C freemium monetization and licensing fees at universities and educational institutions.
On the B2C side, we have a 10% conversion rate from active to paid users and only 9% month over month turn on the subscriptions.
On the educator side, we have 16 of the best universities in Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland as our customers, including TU Munich, WHU Business School and University of Cologne.
We also secured a deal with the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the DEHK, to implement AceMate as a white label solution for vocational trainings across all 79 regional commerce and industry chambers across Germany.
That's us. I'm Anton, I gained a lot of strategic experience at BCG, Antler and BMW.
Jan, our CTO, gained experience at SAP N26 and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence.
Paul, our CPO, was both for both product and sales and gained experience in an early stage startup and also at the German Research Center for AI.
We've raised 420,000 angel round committed by 10 founders, four domain experts and even three professors who came in through sales calls and 150,000 euros from public grants.
And with that, we want to reach 1 million ARR and raise a seed round by 2026.
Thanks a lot for watching and greetings from Berlin.

Hello everybody, I am Valentina with the Cloud First Startups team and I am very excited to introduce you to our next Launchpad session, which will be focused on media, logistics and finance.
This track will highlight how these startups are building innovative solutions that are shaping the way that we are consuming content, managing money and moving goods all over the world using Cloudflare.
I cannot wait to show you what these incredible startups are building and I hope that their ideas can also inspire yours.
So let's dive in. Hi, I'm Chris, co-founder of MC2 Finance.
Let me tell you about an insanity in traditional finance.
There's a hundred trillion stuck, earning basically just one to 4%.
While in decentralized finance, 15% of yields are proven and sustainable. The issue is they both, they don't connect.
Retail users, if they do one wrong move, they lose everything.
Institutionals need six months of board approvals. And if it doesn't work out, you are the first one to get fired.
The risk reward ratio, it is broken.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Crypto ETFs exploded over the last years, growing six times faster than gold and already holding 9% of all tradable Bitcoin.
But here's the tragedy, they generate 0% yield, nothing, just price exposure.
The actual yields stay untouched. That's why we created MC2 Finance.
And I'm very happy to announce that we are the first and so far only team who received the pre-approval to directly list the best DeFi yield on the Swiss Stock Exchange as ETFs.
We bring, for example, Solana plus 15% or US dollar plus 10% to the stock market.
And with SIX as a partner, we can distribute worldwide via its more than 90 trading partners.
So now anyone, your grandmother, as well as a pension fund can buy DeFi yields like they used buying Apple stocks.
And the nice thing, institutions can even save 20 to 30 % in taxes.
We dominate through scale. We can do 90% lower costs through on-chain automations and we can launch an ETF in eight weeks where others take eight months.
And this only works with an amazing team.
I already had two exits and my co-founder Marine led investor relations while going public on Nasdaq.
We are supported by industry leaders like Binance, Consensus and Anchorage.
And that's why now we are raising 4 million to launch our first ETFs in Q4 and scale globally.
In a year after launch, we expect to have more than 100 million assets under management already making us cash flow positive.
This highway between traditional finance and decentralized finance, it's getting to build once and we are doing it.
So join us. Hi, I'm Prakash Sanghani, CEO and co-founder of Novatek.
At Novatek, we're enhancing lives through applied AI, starting with construction safety.
Every year, 2.8 million workers are either injured or killed on construction sites.
And not because safety protocols don't exist, but because the way we report and respond to risks is broken.
Outdated forms, language barriers and siloed systems mean critical issues go either underreported or ignored.
The result, accidents, delays and millions of remediation costs.
Novatek replaces fragmented processes with one intelligent system.
We offer AI powered agents that capture and deliver critical safety information, how and where they naturally occur, whether through voice, text or photos.
Across any channel, frontline workers are already using. The engine translate these into structured multilingual reports, integrated with internal systems that auto-populate dashboards, all while learning and adapting.
No extra admin, just intuitive, equitable and centralized safety intelligence, helping already save up to $35 million in remedial costs for our customers.
Construction is a $14 trillion global market. In the GCC alone, we're targeting $25 million in annual recurring revenue.
We are using the network effect of working on gigascale projects and onboarding channel partners to help us scale.
Greater focus on workers' welfare and increasing digital mandates across the Middle East make this the perfect time to scale.
Our customers are health and safety leaders across major contractors, consultants and developers, including likes of JLL, Neom and Aqua Power, proving our product market fit across the construction ecosystem.
We're seeing a 32% month-on-month growth in recurring revenue.
We've already been awarded $94 ,000 in monthly recurring revenue and are on target to hit 150 by the end of this year.
Our simplified per project per month pricing model aligns with buyer behavior and is driving our growth.
Our team is purpose-built to deliver this.
I bring over 15 years leading innovation in construction with global firms like JLL and Acom.
Our CTO, Mukund, has a cybersecurity expert pioneering with experience in scaling technology through IPOs and acquisitions.
And our CFO, Raj, has over 20 years of investment banking focused on real estate and finance.
We at Novotec are transforming safety by capturing frontline intelligence through AI-native workflows.
We eliminate friction, capture insight where it happens in any language and on any platform.
Safety in construction is just our starting point.
It's our beachhead to expand across the construction lifecycle and eventually into higher-risk industries.
Hi, my name is Tony Rosen. I'm one of the founders of Nexartis. Building for the web shouldn't require a computer science degree.
Cubby expands enterprise -grade features for all user types.
Cubby is a suite of agentic-powered tools that make complex web infrastructure accessible to anyone.
Our modular cube system delivers both traditional web apps and agentic versions with AI-driven capabilities.
The web is evolving rapidly, but building on it remains locked behind technical barriers.
We leverage Cloudflare's serverless infrastructure to provide a frictionless, agentic toolset.
Is there anything Cubby can't do? We eliminate barriers that prevent people from building, creating, and monetizing their digital presence.
Cubby transforms complex infrastructure into simple and powerful tools.
Our agentic development workflows let developers build and publish both traditional and agentic applications on Cloudflare's infrastructure.
Our platform serves three core segments.
Creators get familiar tools plus innovation, communities get governance, and developers get both traditional and agentic capabilities.
But it doesn't stop there. This expands to consumers and business clients, opening up various monetization opportunities.
We're witnessing a fundamental shift and the birth of a new creator era where anyone can control their content, community, and revenue streams.
NextArtist is one year old and out of R&D.
We have built the first self-governed ecosystem and we're preparing for hyper-growth.
The open commercial media ecosystem is our first ecosystem for creators.
And we are building the second one for independent journalists, showing how new ecosystems replicate easily on Cloudflare.
The AMusic video channel is live on Roku and Apple TV with 14 million verified viewers to date and hundreds of OCME creators featured every week.
We're scaling fast. Kick it. The music, not the TV.
