What if food waste could become a source of revenue instead of a cost? Turning overlooked challenges into business opportunities is exactly the kind of innovation we look for at Everywhere Ventures. Dylan Lew, CEO of Ecotone Renewables, is rethinking how businesses manage food waste, transforming it into valuable organic fertilizer while reducing disposal costs. He recently joined Scott Hartley on the Venture Everywhere podcast to discuss how Ecotone is turning a traditional cost center into a revenue opportunity.

Meet Jelly! Eight years. 300+ companies. One recurring problem… At the earliest stages, finding a promising company is hard. Understanding it is harder. A startup shows up in an accelerator batch, then a funding announcement, then a founder’s LinkedIn. Each signal lives in a different place long before it hits a traditional database. Meanwhile, the data platforms that do exist are super expensive and still leave gaps. So we built our own. Meet Jelly 🥜🍇, the first company we’ve incubated inside Everywhere Ventures. Jelly pulls together millions of data points on private companies, the funds backing them, precedent transactions, M&A, accelerator and hacker house batches, and signals from top investors. It turns a bare name and logo into a full profile: what they do, who’s invested, how much they’ve raised, and where they fit in the market. We built it for ourselves. Now we’re making it available to everyone.  Because lean teams shouldn’t waste hours reconstructing context. That’s time better spent with founders.

Congrats to Niamh B. O'Hara and the Biotia team on raising an oversubscribed $9M financing to expand infectious disease diagnostics in women's health and orthopedics. Biotia uses pathogen genomics and AI to help clinicians identify the cause of challenging infections. Its BIOTIA-ID Urine Test focuses on recurrent and complicated UTIs, where standard testing can leave patients without clear answers, and is available to physicians and patients in all 50 states. The new funding will help the team scale its New York City lab, expand its test menu, and bring its diagnostics into more clinical settings. Excited to see the team build on this next chapter!

A plant can be under stress long before its leaves tell you. What if we could read the signals coming from inside it? Electric Plant is building that interface. Its Bud sensor records a plant’s electrical activity, and Bombadil, its new foundation AI model, translates those signals into a clearer picture of the plant’s health. Trained on more than 4 million hours of recordings across 100 species, Bombadil estimates seven physiological stress markers, including water stress. The goal is to help people understand what a plant needs without relying only on soil readings or visible symptoms. Today, Electric Plant is emerging from stealth with $11.2M in seed funding. We’re proud to back Justin Mast, Lee M von Kraus, PhD, and the team as they bring a new layer of visibility to plant care. Congratulations to the team on the launch!

Buildings generate plenty of data. The teams running them still struggle to get a clear picture of what’s happening. When occupancy, maintenance, and workplace data live in separate systems, even basic questions take work: Which spaces are underused? What needs attention? Where can we cut costs? That’s what Trebellar is building: one AI-powered platform that connects the data and helps teams act on it. With their $18M Series A, Diego Ferreiro Val and the team are bringing that approach to more enterprise real estate portfolios. Excited to be part of the journey! cc Jenny Fielding, Scott Hartley, Michael Barone, Eileen McRae, Diego Ferreiro Val #PropTech #AI #EverywhereVentures

One of the best parts of early-stage investing is watching founders uncover massive opportunities hiding in plain sight. Outmarket AI is tackling one of those problems in insurance: critical policy details buried across hundreds of pages that can materially change what a business is actually covered for. Their AI helps brokers surface exclusions, compare policies, and understand coverage gaps faster and more clearly. Excited to see what Anshu Jain, Vishal Sankhla, and the team build next following their $34.5M Series B!
