Thesis

Frontier models cross a threshold. An entire layer of cognitive labor becomes economically obsolete.

Renovix is positioned to own that layer for legacy modernization — and to expand into adjacent verticals over the next decade.

We are not building a chat interface on top of someone else's API. We are building a vertically-integrated, agent-native system of record and system of action, with proprietary data flywheels, defensible infrastructure, and deep workflow lock-in.

  • Replace labor, not seatsWe're priced against the work, not the user count.
  • Verticalize relentlesslyDepth beats breadth in regulated industries.
  • Ship the whole systemAgents, evals, observability, audit — one integrated product.
  • Earn enterprise trustReliability is the moat. Demos are not.
Origin

Founded in 2025 to retire the rewrite.

2025 Q1

Founders meet

Two engineers leave roles at Anthropic and a tier-1 bank's mainframe team. The thesis: agents have crossed the threshold needed to migrate COBOL safely.

2025 Q3

Seed round

$14M seed led by an institutional fund focused on vertical AI. First design partners signed: two regional banks and a federal benefits agency.

2026 Q1

First production cutover

A 320k-line COBOL claims subsystem moved to Kotlin/Spring Boot with zero regressions over the burn-in window.

2026 Q3

Series A

$45M Series A. Team expands to 38. SOC 2 Type II completed.

Today

Scaling

Active migrations across banking, insurance, healthcare, government, and manufacturing.

Values

What we believe.

01

Reliability is the product.

Demos don't migrate codebases. We invest disproportionately in evals, verifiers, and human-in-the-loop UX.

02

Customers are operators.

Every founder has shipped enterprise software before. We design for the reality of regulated environments.

03

Speed compounds.

Small, senior teams out-ship incumbents by an order of magnitude. We protect that velocity ruthlessly.

04

Truth before politeness.

If a migration is unsafe, we say so. If a feature is hype, we kill it.

05

Craft is a moat.

In an era of commodity models, design and engineering rigor become competitive advantages.

06

Long view.

We are building a generational company. We make decisions on a five-year horizon, not a five-quarter one.
