Matvey (Orchestra): $10M Seed for Agentic Security
Orchestra co-founder and CEO Matvey discusses the company's just-announced $10M seed led by 20VC (bringing total funding to $13.5M), after two prior companies of his were acquired by Grafana and Elastic. Orchestra is a network proxy that intercepts traffic between agents, inference providers, MCP servers, and other agents to stop data exfiltration — he cites the Meta AI Instagram password-reset flaw and a Fortune 50 customer that froze its agent rollout fearing a catastrophic breach. He argues vertical agents will collapse into horizontal platforms within one to three years, that enterprises want vendor independence, and that the capital goes into engineering and GTM hiring amid Fortune 500 inbound.
Nicholas Lingran (Endra): $50M Series A for MEP Engineering AI
Endra co-founder and CEO Nicholas Lingran announces a $50M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz for Endra's AI platform for MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) engineers — a $150B industry with waitlist demand from 100+ countries, focused on enterprise projects like offices, hospitals, and data centers. He walks through compressing weeks-long workflows (placing outlets to code, load calculations, cross-discipline model coordination) into an afternoon, describes his prior security-systems integrator sold to private equity in 2022, and positions Endra against a stagnant Autodesk Revit incumbent it integrates with rather than replaces. He expects faster design to spin the real estate flywheel quicker, speed up permitting, and let consultancy customers scale with technology instead of headcount, before the show signs off until Thursday.
