So, what are the hottest companies right now?

Number one, Resolve AI reclaims the top spot, joining Lovable as the only two companies to top the list twice. Closing a $40 million series A extension at a $1.5 billion valuation, the round being led by DST and Salesforce just two months after their initial $1 billion round.

Salient [music] skyrockets to number two, up 11 spots. The AI-native lending platform is rumored to serve multiple top-tier [music] banks with Westlake CEO saying it's saving them $12 million a year. Scout Harmonic's agent pegs their revenue past $30 million with a raise likely early next year.

Rounding out the podium, Aru, not the only simulation platform replacing legacy market research, as rival Simily debuts at number six. Aru last raised in December, but Harmonic's investor signals already show interest from Coatue, Benchmark, and Felicis.

Newcomers to watch, Periodic Labs adding to their $300 million seed, Sandstone fresh off an A led by Lightspeed, and Jack and Jill building agents for job seekers. And the biggest mover, BrainCo, backed by Elad Gil and Jared Kushner, it's up 12 spots, while Day AI and Cogen slide after closing A rounds earlier this year.

Sequoia leads investors with six portcos on the list. >> [music] >>
