▍Aetheon
成立时间：2025年
业务定位：通过职业匹配平台将现实经历转化为就业竞争力。其软件能把服役经历、护理经验或社区工作等生活阅历转化为市场所需的技能认证。目前正与世界经济论坛、哈佛大学人类繁荣计划等机构合作试点技能评估系统，已融资55万美元。
核心团队：创始人兼CEO玛丽·吉尔曾任Executive Networks、Concertus及Modifi高管，同时领导星巴克校友组织"绿围裙联盟"。联合创始人包括加拿大蒙特利尔银行37年老将吉娜·杰内鲁，以及资深创业家兼产品负责人马克·韦曼。
毒舌VC点评："团队配置扎实，但在饱和的技能评估领域，必须明确核心竞争力（细分市场/数据/工作流），并用试点项目转化为大额重复订单的实际证据说话。"
▍Constellation
成立时间：2025年
业务定位：太空通信软件通过预测地面信号中断，帮助卫星运营商保全关键任务数据。系统能提前预警并自动切换最优传输路径，正与国防及工业伙伴进行技术测试。
核心团队：CEO卡姆兰·马吉德曾是SpaceX和Xplore软件工程师。联合创始人团队包括保德信金融/蓝色起源前工程师拉伊德·卡比尔，以及第一资本银行的软件工程师奥米德·特拉尼与莱斯·阿尔塔拉比希。
毒舌VC点评："痛点精准且团队亮眼，但若无法证实快速集成能力、客户真实付费意愿及业务渗透力，终将沦为边缘化的辅助功能而非独立解决方案。"
▍Feedia
成立时间：2025年
业务定位：为小型独立餐厅提供AI营销管家，帮助降低数字营销成本与时间消耗。特别关注因语言障碍处于弱势的移民餐饮业主，现有15家试点用户，下季度将启动付费订阅测试。
核心团队：CEO德益（罗伯特）·朱是西雅图快餐连锁Master Bing联合创始人，曾任SprintiQ与Beejern业务发展负责人。联合创始人德宣·朱为新加坡Sea集团高级工程师。
毒舌VC点评："创始人洞悉目标市场，移民经济切入点颇具说服力。但若缺乏对营收提升/工时节省的量化证明，以及缺乏精准核心应用场景，终将湮没于同类AI营销工具的洪流中。"
▍Redyoos
成立时间：2024年
业务定位：构建珠宝循环再生体系，从闲置首饰中回收贵金属并重返供应链。合作方包括Goodwill、Armoire、星巴克等机构，正在开发AI珠宝鉴定工具，目前已实现盈利且未依赖外部融资。
核心团队：创始人兼CEO克莱奥·埃斯卡雷斯曾任Boma Silver Jewelry首席运营官及星巴克品牌经理。
毒舌VC点评："循环经济定位与合作网络令人瞩目，但成败关键在于能否在单位经济效益上超越传统回收渠道，并使AI鉴定工具成为必需品而非噱头。"
▍Theodora
成立时间：2022年
业务定位：基于口味偏好与预算为普通饮酒者提供个性化选酒服务，可根据周边门店库存实时推荐。本周刚推出iOS应用，目前未接受外部投资。
核心团队：创始人兼CEO杰斯·塞维诺兹曾任Flockjay、Hellosaurus及CDC集团数据分析师。
毒舌VC点评："消费痛点抓得准，门店关联推荐逻辑自洽，但必须验证用户留存率与商业化路径（如零售商分润/品牌合作），避免沦为又一款短命选酒应用。"

Seattle founders are trying to improve space communication, hiring, restaurant marketing, jewelry sustainability, and finding a great bottle of wine.

Founded: 2025
The business: Job-matching platform designed to map real world capabilities to work opportunities. Its software translates lived experiences — such as military service, caregiving, or community work — into market-ready skills. Aetheon is partnering with organizations including the World Economic Forum and Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program to pilot its skills intelligence system. The startup has raised $550,000.
Leadership: Founder and CEO Marie Gill was an exec at Executive Networks, Concertus, and Modifi. She also leads the Green Apron Alliance of Starbucks alumni. Co-founders include Gina Jeneroux, a 37-year veteran of BMO Financial Group, and longtime entrepreneur and product leader Mark Wayman.
Mean VC: “You’ve got real partners and credible operators, but in a saturated ‘skills’ space you need to show exactly where you win (segment, data, or workflow) and hard proof that pilots convert into sizable, repeatable contracts.”
Founded: 2025
The business: Space communication software that helps satellite operators avoid losing valuable mission data by predicting when a ground connection is about to fail. Its system spots the problem early and automatically reroutes data through a better path. Constellation is testing its technology with defense and industrial partners.
Leadership: Founder and CEO Kamran Majid is a former software engineer at SpaceX and Xplore. Other co-founders include Raaid Kabir, a former engineer with Prudential Financial and Blue Origin; Omeed Tehrani, a software engineer at Capital One; and Laith Altarabishi, also a software engineer at Capital One.
Mean VC: “The problem and team both look strong, yet unless you can prove fast integration, real willingness to pay, and expansion inside operators, this risks being treated as a clever reliability feature rather than a standalone company.”
Founded: 2025
The business: AI-powered marketing manager to help small, independent restaurant owners automate their digital marketing, cut costs, and save time. The startup aims to empower immigrant restaurant owners often underserved due to language barriers. Feedia has 15 pilot users and plans to begin paid subscription trials next quarter.
Leadership: CEO Deyi (Robert) Zhu is a Seattle restaurateur who co-owns the fast-casual chain Master Bing. He previously worked in business development leadership roles at SprintiQ and Beejern. Co-founder Dexuan Zhu is a senior engineer at Sea Group in Singapore.
Mean VC: “Founder-market fit is excellent and the immigrant focus is compelling, but without clear, quantified impact on revenue or hours saved and a very narrow core use case, you’ll blend into the noise of generic “AI for SMB marketing” tools.”
Founded: 2024
The business: Circular jewelry recycling system that recovers precious metals from pre-owned jewelry and returns them to the supply chain. The company partners with groups like Goodwill, Armoire, Starbucks, Dress for Success, and Phoenix Tailings, and is developing an AI-powered product for jewelry appraisal. Redyoos is bootstrapped and generating revenue.
Leadership: Founder and CEO Cleo Escarez was chief operating officer at Boma Silver Jewelry and a former brand manager at Starbucks.
Mean VC: “The circular jewelry angle and partnerships are promising, but your entire story hinges on whether you can beat existing recycling channels on unit economics and make the AI appraisal tool essential rather than decorative.”
Founded: 2022
The business: Provides casual wine drinkers with personalized recommendations guided by answers about their taste and budget. Theodora suggests a bottle based on what’s available in a nearby store. The company is bootstrapped and just launched its iOS app this week.
Leadership: Founder and CEO Jess Thevenoz was a former data analyst at Flockjay, Hellosaurus, and CDC Group.
Mean VC: “The consumer problem is relatable and your store-based recommendations are logical, but you still need to prove sticky repeat usage and a path to monetizing retailer or brand value so you don’t become just another short-lived wine app.”
