Carbon is reinventing how products are designed, engineered, made & delivered. Carbon’s Digital Manufacturing platform enables repeatable production of end-use parts with industrial grade materials and exceptional surface finish. Whether you’re making one or a million. Making the impossible possible. Carbon is a 3D printing (late stage, series E) startup in Redwood City, Ca. that creates the software, hardware and materials to enable production of groundbreaking parts — parts that can't be made any other way. The best example is Carbon's partnership with Adidas. Adidas had been interested in 3D printing shoes for years but could not find a technology that was good enough. With Carbon, Adidas finally could design and produce a lattice-based midsole that not only performs well but opens the door for a future of personalized shoes, and they're heading toward making millions of them.

The future of work is increasingly complex — remote workers, distributed teams, flexible multi-tenant office space — and the dynamic of how workers interact with each other and how workers interact with their physical space is changing.

Sila Nanotechnologies produces highly efficient batteries for use in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, the power grid and electric flight. Utilizing "drop in" methods that allow factories to produce our cells with existing technology and production equipment, we make the process of producing batteries easy and efficient. This innovation is not only limited to production processes. Our silicon-dominant anode products replace graphite entirely, delivering higher energy density.

Swoop is building a secure, distributed operating system, allowing our customers to securely harness their data and construct a programmable, autonomous edge. The edge is where digital rubber meets the real-world road. Where data is produced, consumed, or networked to accomplish an objective. It is covered in assets -- chips, memory, networking interfaces -- that comprise a distributed computing platform. The edge is strategically important and asset-rich. Swoop is helping unlock its potential, so that search and analysis no longer end simply with incremental insights or neatly organized search results, but with autonomous action directly at the edge. Swoop's technology has been deployed in some of the world's most sophisticated environments. Our team is purposeful in directing our technology toward solving important problems. We are building for a future where advancements in critical infrastructure, smart grids, supply chains, and manufacturing are programmed into existing systems -- rapidly, adaptive, and economically feasible.

James Monsees and Adam Bowen co-founded JUUL when they applied their background in product design to the challenge of finding a better alternative to smoking. They’d been smokers for many years, but they were increasingly dissatisfied with the health and social impacts of cigarettes. When they could find no attractive alternative to cigarettes, James and Adam recognized a groundbreaking opportunity to apply industrial design to the smoking industry, which had not materially evolved in over one hundred years. As smokers, they knew a viable alternative to cigarettes would have to offer a nicotine level found in no other alternative on the market. It would also have to invite its own ritual. The result was JUUL.

Sage is on a mission to improve the quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults over 65. At the same time, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. This issue is exacerbated by the inefficient procedures that operators of these facilities are forced to use to provide care to their residents. Sage's integrated software aims to reinvent how we care for and respond to older adults in times of need. We aim to build a platform that gives caregivers the means to provide care for modern aging.
