Seattle startups continue to bring fresh energy to the tech world. From AI-powered assistants to robotics fleet tools and real estate platforms, these early-stage ventures are solving practical problems with smart software.
Let’s dive into five promising Seattle startups worth watching.
Vercept wants to change how you use your computer
Vercept is building AI software that responds to everyday language. Instead of clicking through apps, users can speak naturally—and the software handles the rest. It runs commands, moves across programs, and simplifies tasks.
CEO Kiana Ehsani co-founded Vercept after years at the Allen Institute for AI. Along with ex-Ai2 CEO Oren Etzioni and other top researchers, the team created Vy, an AI assistant powered by their own VyUI model. It’s a big step toward more intuitive digital tools—something Seattle startups are becoming known for.
Chassy helps robotic fleets run smarter
Chassy is making it easier for robotics companies to deploy and manage fleets. Their software streamlines testing, updates, and real-time operations.
CEO Chuka Okoye launched the startup after building Lyft’s self-driving infrastructure. He teamed up with designer Mathew LeJeune, who worked at Fitbit and NVIDIA. After graduating from Techstars Seattle, Chassy raised $1.2 million to keep growing.
This is one of the Seattle startups bridging robotics and cloud software in a big way.
Context Nature makes clean energy tax credits easier
Green tax incentives are out there—but they’re hard to find. Context Nature’s software helps finance teams identify and prequalify for clean energy credits.
CEO Ephi Banaynal dela Cruz spent years working in sustainability at Microsoft and SAP. She co-founded the company with Sylvia Vaquer, a seasoned designer and agency founder. Together, they’re building tools that simplify climate-focused funding.
For Seattle startups with a mission, Context Nature is setting a strong example.
Haply brings neighbors closer with smarter HOA tools
Managing a homeowners association often means juggling requests, policies, and maintenance. Haply simplifies all of it. Its app lets residents submit issues, find deals on services, and even sell used items within their neighborhood.
CEO Prasad Anguluri worked at Oracle and Starbucks before starting Haply. Now his platform is active in over 35 communities. As more people seek digital tools for daily life, Seattle startups like Haply are making that happen.
Axtrolite quietly works on the future of property tech
Still in stealth mode, Axtrolite is targeting the real estate sector. The startup is exploring new ways to improve property management systems.
Founder Atul Alatkar brings deep experience from Amazon and Microsoft. He also led engineering at dodda and Virtana. While Axtrolite hasn’t revealed much yet, it’s part of a growing wave of Seattle startups tackling real estate through software.
