Top Hardware Startups in 2026

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.

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.

At Zoomo, we're leading the charge in enabling our vision to transition every urban mile to light electric vehicles (LEV) that are accessible to build carbon-neutral cities. To that end, we are building the world’s most convenient, affordable, and safe e-bike platform.

Twin Health is a revolutionary Precision Health platform combining IoT Sensors, Machine Learning, and Medical Science to reverse chronic diseases like diabetes and improve human metabolic health. It was founded by experienced entrepreneurs with extensive experience building software platforms used by more than 100 million devices around the world. We are backed by Sequoia Capital, Iconiq Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Corner Ventures, LTS Investments, Helena and Sofina with $183M in Series A, Series B, and Series C funding. At Twin, we have achieved groundbreaking medical results for chronic disease reversal (12 papers published in top medical journals) using our patent-pending Whole Body Digital Twin™ technology (5 patents filed), which analyzes complex biosignals from wearable sensors, predicts metabolic outcomes using ML, and recommends highly-personalized treatments based on the metabolic profile of each patient. Our interdisciplinary team consists of engineers, scientists, and medical doctors who collaborate closely to develop these technologies and deliver exceptional health outcomes. We launched our product in 2018 with an initial focus on diabetes; doctors and coaches use our IoT- and ML-based software platform to improve the health of diabetic patients every day.

Our team combines seasoned aerospace engineering talent and Special Operations combat veterans to address 21st century threats. We embrace the best practices from Silicon Valley innovation such as agile development and deliver breakthroughs in high-power microwave for offensive and defensive EMP and artificial intelligence for enhanced targeting capabilities.

Volta Labs was spun out of MIT in 2018 with the simple mission of building biological automation from the ground up. Volta is in the proximity of Kendall Square, known as "the most innovative square mile on the planet". Being part of the open biotech culture in Kendall Square made us realize that today’s biologists are held back by the limitations of existing automation tools. With DNA sequencing in particular, we observed that the advances in DNA readout technologies had moved further along than the advances in the upstream steps of preparing samples for sequencing (sample prep). ‍ What started out as a simple printed circuit board to manipulate colored droplets at the MIT Media Lab during co-founder Udayan Umapathi’s graduate work was quickly directed toward solving the “sample prep bottleneck”. The company raised Seed Funding from top VCs in 2019 and later that year added Will Langford as a co-founder and Head of Engineering. ‍ Since then, we have been heads down in the lab inventing and building novel fluidic and sample manipulation technologies. We take an anti-disciplinary approach to solve very hard problems and weave together instrumentation, fluidics, software, biology and chemistry. While our current focus is on sequencing sample prep, we envision a new approach where a single universal machine automates most biological workflows in genomics, proteomics and synthetic biology.
