Sorcerer is deploying a global network of persistent airborne sensors to fuel advanced weather forecasting. Our high-altitude balloons collect 1000x more data than existing systems and are already used daily by meteorologists to track extreme weather across the US and Central America.

The fragmented and proprietary evaluation tools today are leading to significant inefficiencies and confusion among developers. The world needs a standard everyone can rely on and that is why we are building Ragas as the open-source standard. We have 4k stars on GitHub, 1.3k members in our discord community, and over 80+ external contributors. We also have partnerships with key AI companies like Langchain, Llamaindex, Arize, Weaviate and more to help create a standard. We already process 5 million evaluations monthly for engineers from companies like AWS, Microsoft, Databricks, and Moody’s and it is growing at 70% month over month. We are building LLM application testing and evaluation infrastructure for Enterprises.

phospho provides sdks, tutorials and hardware kits for real-world robotics in Python. The goal is to lower the barrier for entry to robotics so that everyone can start building intelligent robots.

Forge helps companies recover tariffs and duties paid on imported goods that are later exported or scrapped by automating a process called duty drawback. Billions of dollars of eligible refunds go unclaimed every year. We take full ownership of the process from organizing data to filing claims so businesses can unlock this extra revenue with minimal effort.

Hestus is AI-powered CAD software that speeds up hardware development. While engineers are typically quick at coming up with initial design concepts, they are bogged down getting from idea to the final design due to countless tedious and repetitive tasks. We are building CAD software that automates these mundane tasks and speeds up the design execution process, while letting engineers spend more time on the creative part of the design process.

Residential contractors are drowning in office work. Drillbit automates all of it. We use AI receptionists and an LLM based quoting tool on top of our own CRM to entirely manage jobs from lead, to quote, to scheduling, to staffing, and even collecting payment.

Poka Labs

Project Management

Poka Labs is developing an AI platform to automate operations tasks in chemical manufacturing, beginning with production scheduling. Traditionally, these tasks are performed manually using spreadsheets. Our software seamlessly integrates with existing data sources such as data historians, emails, and PDFs to automate analytics, scheduling, changes, and communication within a single platform. Malay and Andrew met while pursuing their MBAs at Harvard Business School. Malay previously worked as an engineer in the specialty chemical industry, saving his employers over $100 million across US, China, and German plants. Andrew worked as a software engineer on data infrastructure at Meta and optimization problems at a seed-stage startup. He also completed a Masters degree at Harvard specializing in Machine Learning.

Eggnog

Project Management

Eggnog is the Youtube for AI-generated content. The initial product is the only AI video platform on the market that generates consistent characters. The vision is to have the largest library of remixable characters and sets for users to collaboratively build and watch AI-generated content. Eggnog launched a week ago, and videos made on the platform are getting 100k views on Twitter. Team: Sam (BS, Applied Math from Harvard) was a data scientist at Facebook and Quora working on newsfeed and creator monetization. Jitesh (BS, MEng from MIT CS) was a consultant at McKinsey and PM at Flexport.

BetterBasket helps grocers with pricing, powered by competitive data. Our founding team worked together at Uber Eats growing the dark store business in Asia to $100 million in revenue and making it profitable, and are now building BetterBasket to bring those learnings to all grocers.

We build software that helps hardware teams quickly and clearly evaluate how a component (engine, battery, valve, etc.) or process (assembly line, manufacturing plant) performs. We prevent mistakes, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market. Our platform unifies industrial control with sensor data storage and automated post-processing, delivering an end-to-end operations and observability stack. To put it comparatively, take LabVIEW, InfluxDB, and Grafana, wrap them into a single package, add a bit of magic, and you get Synnax.

Storia AI

Project Management

With AI increasingly automating away code generation, software engineers will spend more time reading, judging, and architecting code rather than writing it. Storia is building an open-source copilot that knows a company's codebase and its context. We are starting with Sage, a Perplexity-like agent for helping developers understand, judge, and generate software. Given an existing codebase, developers can ask Sage questions such as: 1) Given my project’s SLA and latency constraints, what is the appropriate underlying vector database to use? How would I incorporate it into my existing codebase? 2) Why should I pick Redis over Milvus as my underlying vector store? 3) Does this codebase in our organization still work and what steps are required for a complex integration with another library? Sage’s answers are directly supported by documentation and external references like GitHub, Stack Overflow, technical design documents, and project management software, preventing hallucinations. Today, Sage has up-to-date knowledge about open-source repositories (indexed daily). Tomorrow it will have a deep understanding of every line of code on the Internet. For teams, Sage will know about your private codebase too. No group has yet solved how to build an AI system that comprehends a codebase and its context and can empower every developer to architect better code, faster. This requires new research advances because vanilla RAG and out-of-the-box LLMs aren’t going to cut it. We have 20+ years of software engineering and AI research experience. Julia worked on precursors of Gemini using contextual neural techniques before they were called “RAG” (and applied it to products like Google Keyboard and Pixel phones). Mihail built the earliest LLMs at Amazon Alexa and launched the first contextual deep learning conversational AI system in production at Alexa.

Offstream

Project Management

Offstream is Vanta for carbon compliance. Today, every new infrastructure project, from data centers to biomass power plants has a complicated mess of local, state, federal, and private sector standards that they must understand and comply with to make their projects profitable. Offstream solves this by using LLMs to parse regulations, generate technical reports for customers, and manage 100,000+ operational data points on project’s lifecycles. We cut the time customers spend on compliance by 90% and at 1/5th of the cost of alternatives.

Trello

Project Management

Trello transforms project organization into an intuitive visual experience using the kanban board methodology that has revolutionized how teams track work. The platform's simplicity is its superpower: anyone can understand a Trello board at a glance, with cards representing tasks that move through customizable columns representing workflow stages. Trello excels in environments where visual project tracking is more valuable than complex feature sets, making it the go-to choice for content creators, marketing teams, and small businesses who want to get organized quickly without extensive training. The platform's power-up system allows teams to extend functionality through integrations with time tracking, calendar syncing, and automation tools, while maintaining the core simplicity that makes Trello accessible to team members of all technical skill levels.

Every battery company spends tens of millions of dollars a year on experiments. Simulations that replace experiments reduce these costs but are currently underutilized in industry because they are hard to create and run. We make simulations accessible to every engineer, by helping them to create models from their own data, then run large scale simulations in the cloud to explore the full design space.

Henry

Project Management

Henry is an AI copilot for commercial real estate (CRE) brokers that seamlessly integrates a brokerage’s internal data set with external sources to generate custom presentations and financial modeling for deals. Our mission is to help CRE brokers close more deals faster, earning more while doing less repetitive work. We’re initially focusing on enabling brokers to generate deal decks in seconds—a task that typically consumes 20+ hours a week across multiple departments within a brokerage.
