Amidst the noise of AI and the turmoil of the crypto market, genuine innovation is quietly emerging. Alliance, which incubated star projects like Pump.fun and Pendle, has delivered its ALL16 cohort results. Among the 18 graduating companies, stablecoin payments, AI applications, prediction markets, and RWA tokenization are the core themes. Meanwhile, applications for ALL17 will close on March 25th.

The following is a detailed introduction to these 18 ALL16 startups:

Fintech and Stablecoin Payments

Allod: Enterprise-Grade Stablecoin Bank

Allod (allodfinance.com) enables businesses in emerging markets to instantly and economically transfer US dollars using stablecoins, bypassing manual compliance checks by banks (which flag one-third of wire transfers as anomalous, with a false alarm rate exceeding 97%). Allod handles fiat currency deposits and withdrawals, counterparty compliance, and key management within a software package similar to an everyday bank account. The founders studied computer science at UC Berkeley and co-founded Fei Labs, which launched a decentralized stablecoin that raised $1.3 billion and became one of the top ten stablecoins by market capitalization.

Superbank: Pre-funding Liquidity Solutions

Superbank (superbank.co) helps fintech companies pre-finance their fiat bank accounts at an affordable cost, without incurring excessive debt or equity dilution. Unlike traditional methods of assessing long-term business viability, Superbank primarily underwrites payment channels, providing loans against settlement funds that typically arrive within 1 to 3 days. The platform automates traditionally manual processes by providing funding via API. Its founder previously founded Penta, one of Europe's largest digital banks, which was later sold to Qonto for $250 million. The core team has nine years of collaborative experience.

Crebit: Stablecoin Payments for International Students

Crebit (crebitpay.com) offers international students a faster and cheaper way to pay tuition fees across borders using stablecoin-based foreign exchange transactions. By partnering with local banks and supporting regional payment methods such as PIX and Bre-B, Crebit completely eliminates SWIFT fees. Itaú, Brazil's largest bank, has appointed Crebit as its official study abroad partner. The founding team members come from Stanford University, Amazon, NASA, and MIT.

Inflow: Stripe for Cross-Border SMEs

Inflow (inflowpay.com) enables any small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) to accept bank card payments from around the world at affordable rates. By rebuilding the merchant record technology stack on a stablecoin track, Inflowpay beats traditional providers (who charge 10% and settle within weeks) by leveraging existing connections to secure banking contracts that typically take years to obtain. Its founders include a founding engineer from an MPC wallet startup and a former founder who built a seven-figure revenue bootstrapping company.

Tradevu: Stablecoin Bank for African Enterprises

Tradevu (tradevu.co) provides instant financing to African SMEs at affordable rates by underwriting real trade activities, such as shipping data, counterparty information, order speed, and payment behavior. By building credit around verified transactions, Tradevu funds viable businesses often excluded from traditional trade finance models, integrating financing with payments to enable seamless deployment of funds across suppliers, currencies, and borders. Its founders previously founded Pivo (YC S22), deploying over $8 million in funding for African SMEs, and Jalo (later acquired by a YC company).

Prediction Markets and Trading Platforms

Predexon: A unified API for prediction markets

Predexon (predexon.com) simplifies development on prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. Developers can use Predexon's market matching engine to deduplicate markets from different platforms and integrate them into a unified interface. Furthermore, developers can access real-time data pipelines to obtain historical and real-time data and execute trades across platforms through a single integration. Its founders are college roommates from the Berkeley School of Engineering and have experience working at Amazon and AWS.

Freeport: A Tradeable News Feed

Freeport (freeportmrkts.com) provides real-time push notifications of breaking news, along with related real-time trading and analysis, enabling retail investors to instantly "trade the news." The platform utilizes an AI agent to continuously update market information, inferring the best trading opportunities from news headlines of tokenized stocks and perpetual contracts available on Hyperliquid. Its founders studied mathematics and computer science together and previously worked at IMC and Jane Street.

Hadron: Proprietary AMM as a Service

Hadron (hadron.fi) enables token teams to easily and cost-effectively launch their own proprietary AMM on Solana. By reverse-engineering and generalizing the mathematics behind the black-box proprietary AMM that handles more than half of Solana's trading volume, Hadron allows any token project to customize its pricing and swapping logic and ensures that each liquidity pool runs on all major DEX aggregators on its first day of launch. Its founders come from the Solana Foundation and Alchemy.

Worm: Leveraged Market Forecasting

Worm (worm.wtf) provides traders with capital-efficient leverage for predictive markets. Through a liquidity provision protocol with a dynamic hedging and liquidation engine, Worm enables users to gain leveraged exposure to predictive markets from aggregated order books (initially supporting Polymarket and Kalshi), achieving optimal execution. Its founders previously left their product manager role at Facebook to lead product development at Aave, and later served as Chief Product Officer at Rarible. The co-founder is a gold medalist in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Ratio: Social Applications for Prediction Markets

Ratio (ratio.you) assists retail market predictors by allowing them to quickly and easily view and copy the trades of top traders with a single click. Top traders are rewarded as they expand their audience and drive trading volume, transforming them into influencers in the copy trading and creator monetization flywheel. Its founders previously scaled a startup to over 100,000 users and have experience working at Coinbase and a unicorn financial company.

Artificial intelligence and data intelligence

Givance: A legal representative at a law firm

Givance (givance.ai) automates law firm operations by connecting autonomous agents to the firm's entire technology stack. Lawyers can delegate tasks such as client reception, communication, billing, and collection to agents, reducing administrative costs and increasing billing time. This is significant for the approximately 200,000 law firms in the US that lack operational staff. Its founders have successfully exited two startups and have experience at Google Research, Snapchat, and YC S23.

Deconflict: Palantir in the field of financial crime

Deconflict (deconflict.com) protects financial institutions from fraud by directly connecting user data with law enforcement data. When law enforcement flags suspicious activity, Deconflict sends instant alerts to exchanges, banks, and other money transfer institutions, allowing them to freeze funds before they are transferred without revealing sensitive case details. Currently, over 800 law enforcement agencies from 26 countries have joined the platform. Its founders have 22 years of law enforcement experience, including working for the U.S. Secret Service. The co-founder previously led an AI project at Apple Intelligence.

Couch: An AI Companion for the Visually Impaired

Couch (cou.ch) helps visually impaired people navigate the web. While traditional screen readers force users to listen to each element on a page one at a time, Couch operates as a lightweight browser extension. It first uses AI to understand the page and then presents only the important content, such as actions the user can take (like booking the cheapest flight or filtering results). Its founders spent 15 years building tools at Meta and Cloudflare.

Akara: Sideline intelligence for sporting events

Akara (akaramarkets.com) offers retail traders the advantage of affordable, low-latency sports betting. By deploying a ground scouting network at live games, Akara leverages AI to convert real-time audio into actionable intelligence, faster than television broadcasts that lag behind reality by 30 seconds, and at a significantly lower cost than data sources costing over $200,000 annually to institutions. Its founders come from Morgan Stanley (quantitative trading), Palantir, Duke University (PhD), MIT, and Jane Street.

RWA Tokenization and Web3 Infrastructure

Graded: On-chain StockX

Graded (graded.world) allows collectors to trade any collectible (physical or virtual) instantly and securely, anywhere in the world. By aggregating collectibles from existing markets (both on-chain and off-chain) and acting as a custody and settlement layer, Graded unlocks value trapped in the over $350 billion physical collectibles market within collectors' portfolios. Its founders previously built a cryptocurrency bank with peak stablecoin asset management of $100 million.

Lucent: Tokenized Life Sciences

Lucent (uselucent.io) allows retail investors to purchase private biopharmaceutical assets, particularly drug IP and royalty exposure, not just the companies behind the products. Biotech companies tokenize on Lucent because this allows them to raise funds for individual drug assets without diluting their capital structure tables. Three VC-backed biopharmaceutical companies have already signed contracts for neurology and rare disease therapies. Its co-founders studied at Yale and Cornell Universities and built a nine-figure health tech company and a multi-billion dollar biopharmaceutical company.

Bluvo: Plaid of the crypto world

Bluvo (bluvo.co) provides a white-label API for DeFi applications, enabling seamless and secure direct integration with any centralized exchange (CEX). By designing new authentication workflows and reimagining security best practices, Bluvo allows applications like Polymarket to easily transfer funds from CEXs through user-friendly processes—a feature often fragile and expensive to build in-house. Its team consists of serial entrepreneurs who previously built an algorithmic crypto trading company with $100 million in trading volume.

PreStocks: Tokenized Pre-IPO Stocks

PreStocks (prestocks.com) provides instant liquidity for retail investors of any size to enter and exit pre-IPO stocks. Each token is powered by a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and a custom market-making engine that enables accurate real-time pricing and reliable on-chain liquidity. Since its launch in August, PreStocks has traded over $350 million, addressing the liquidity and pricing lag issues of private equity. Its founders have been involved in the crypto space since 2013, were early engineers at Canva, and completed 50 pre-IPO deals in the past year.
