CHICAGO, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moderne Ventures is pleased to announce its Fall 2026 Passport Class. Moderne Ventures is a strategic venture capital firm that invests in transformative technologies like AI, robotics, fintech and digital transactions and brings them to antiquated, trillion-dollar industries like real estate, finance, insurance and beyond. The Moderne Passport Program is an intensive six-month industry immersion program providing its participants with education, exposure, insight, and relationships to drive customer growth.

“Breakthrough technology rarely stays inside one industry, and neither do we. We look for founders whose products can transform the markets we know best and then scale well beyond them,” said Constance Freedman, Founder and Managing Partner of Moderne Ventures. “Our Fall cohort shows that range, from AI that catches construction errors before they reach the field and tools that lighten the load for in-house legal teams, to income disruption protection, unified data platforms, and payments built around how people actually get paid.”

We are pleased to announce the seven new companies joining Moderne Passport:

• Buildcheck (buildcheck.ai) – (Palo Alto, CA): See it before it costs you: AI-powered drawing review that catches errors before they become RFIs, change orders, or schedule delays
• DenZen (getdenzen.com) – (Denver, CO): Income disruption protection: Embedded protection that replaces lost income when someone loses their job
• GC AI (gc.ai) – (San Mateo, CA): Your in-house legal team’s best friend: The legal AI and agent platform that speeds up drafting, review, redlining, research, and intake
• Nemu (mynemu.com) – (Seattle, WA): The operating system for life’s belongings: Nemu helps families navigate the $10T Great Stuff Transfer between generations, and builds the personal property data insurers never had
• Permute (permute.ai) – (Chicago, IL): Intelligence for every asset: Permute enables secure custom software for the world’s most complex companies
• Pitchit (pitchit.ai) – (Austin, TX): AI speed-to-lead & multi-channel qualification: Automates instant form fill outreach, 24/7 inbound call answering, and appointment booking across every channel without hiring extra reps
• Split Pay (splitpay.com) – (Miami, FL): Modern credit products built around your cash flow: Fintech platform that splits rent, mortgage and auto loans into bi-weekly payments

“This class marks our 28th Passport cohort and more than 170 companies have now been through the program. Every class brings founders tackling problems our network deals with every day. We put them in front of the right decision-makers and share what we’re hearing from top operators in real time, so they can win customers faster and grow with confidence,” said Carolyn Kwon, Managing Director at Moderne Ventures.

Moderne Ventures accepts Passport applications on a rolling basis with the next class launching this spring.
