By the time we led @patlytics's Series A in 2025, we had already introduced them to several potential customers. We embedded ourselves in their go-to-market & talent motions, which led to 50 target introductions, 8 new customers, 1 VP of Sales hire, and generated over $1M in pipeline.

We first partnered with @patlytics in February of 2025 when we led their Series A. In our first year of partnership, the N47 team introduced 50 potential customers & closed 8, generated over $1M in pipeline, & helped hire their first VP of Sales. Here’s how: bit.ly/4esLIVB

🩺 Home health is one of the most critical (and overlooked) functions of the healthcare system. @enzo_health built the operational backbone these agencies need. It can intake, scribe, and QA in one AI-native platform. Enzo is the category-defining AI solution for home health care, which is why we are proud to lead their $20M Series A. Congratulations to team Enzo! 🚀 📝: n47.com/insights/ai-infrastr… CC: @vcheng11, @MatthewTCowan

When we led @Encord_team's Series B in 2024, we didn't stop at the term sheet. We embedded ourselves in their go-to-market motion, which led to 47 targeted introductions, 7 events across two continents, 5 new enterprise customers, & $1.5M in bookings.

Construction is a multi-trillion-dollar industry still running on PDFs and manual spreadsheets. That changes today. We at @N47capital are thrilled to lead a $19M Series A for XBuild, the first AI platform purpose-built for construction. 🏗️ The bottleneck? Estimating. It’s the front door to every contractor’s business, yet it’s painfully manual and can take days per project. @XBuildAI has built an AI-native system that doesn't just "help"—it actually does the work. By automating complex workflows, XBuild is turning a multi-day process into 15 minutes. They are building the system of intelligence to make the physical world cheaper, faster, and easier to build. Huge congrats to founders Jahan Khanna, Rob Moran, and Sharuk Khanna. We are proud to partner with you alongside Rackhouse Venture Capital and a16z. 🚀 Read more about why we invested here: n47.com/insights/reimagining…

We've long had a thesis that systems of record face disruption for the first time in decades. It takes an ambitious team with an even more ambitious vision to make it happen. Excited to lead a $20M Series A into Nominal. Guy Leibovitz, Golan Kopichinsky, and team are back at it again, building something truly special—an AI-native ERP platform that automates the complex, manual workflows in finance.

🎉 Congratulations to the entire @Nominal_SO team on their $20M Series A! Nominal is reimagining financial operations from the ground up. They build AI agents that tackle some of the most complex and painful parts of accounting. Think transaction matching, reconciliations, multi-entity consolidations, variance analysis, and more. Tasks that used to take days now take minutes. Instead of ripping and replacing legacy ERP systems, Nominal integrates seamlessly with existing platforms. No migration. No long implementations. Just intelligent automation that works from day one. This is why we decided to lead this Series A, along with our friends at @blingcapital , @HyperwiseVC , and @WorkdayVentures. Congrats again to team Nominal! Learn more about our new partnership here: bit.ly/3TvcpNK CC: @MatthewTCowan , @vcheng11

The patent system is broken. That’s why @patlytics, the AI-powered patent workflow platform, was founded. We are incredibly impressed with their vision and pace of product development, and we are excited to share that @Next47 is leading Patlytics’ $14M Series A! We see a future where Patlytics is the gateway to everything related to the patent lifecycle, as do their trusted partners in leading Fortune 500 companies and AM 100 law firms like Quinn Emanuel, Koch, Google, Xerox, Abnormal Security, Richardson Oliver Law Group, Young Basile, and Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg. 🎉 Congratulations to the entire Patlytics team!

Super excited to share my podcast with @ErezDruk , the founder and CEO of @FreedMedicalAI, an AI scribe for clinicians. It's such a special company and a special founder, utilizing a deeply useful, product-led wedge as a way in to disrupt the antiquated healthcare stack.
🚀 What separates good startups from great ones? This week’s episode of AI Unveiled features @vcheng11 as our guest host, chatting with @ErezDruk, Co-Founder and CEO of @FreedMedicalAI. Freed is an AI scribe that frees clinicians from managing electronic health records. It’s a rocketship startup that reached $10M ARR in its first year and shows no signs of stopping.

We rarely see this type of product love, reflected in the stunning growth of the business ($10M ARR in its first year! 🚀). But as always, it comes down to the people, and the team caliber and hustle in their culture is unmatched.

Inspiring to see founders building in all kinds of verticals: construction, freight, hardware design, chip design, bookkeeping, and more, alongside infra AI founders building the rails for ingesting/understanding unstructured data or accessing GPU compute.
