In partnering with Revivn, companies make the vital choice to manage the hardware lifecycle responsibly and consciously — and we’re here to support them every step of the way. This mission and commitment extends to serving our customers worldwide, supporting communities and organizations in need, and cultivating a culture that inspires our employees to find purpose in their work.

Mode Mobile is the creator of EarnOS, a transformational software that turns ordinary smartphones into "EarnPhones." This innovation empowers users globally to monetize everyday mobile activities such as streaming, gaming, shopping, etc. We enable users to profit from their data and attention rather than letting only tech giants benefit. Our inclusive approach sets us apart - converting users into earners and facilitating over $150M in earnings and savings while going a step further and turning earners into owners by awarding stock ownership in Mobile Mobile based on their usage. We have attracted over 40 million users across 170 countries. ​​Mode Mobile is proud to stand as the #1 Fastest-Growing North American Software Company recognized in Deloitte's 2023 Technology Fast 500 and ranked #2 across all sectors (Deloitte Fast 500 Winners). For additional insights, check out the information about our reward-based super app, Mode Earn App, which also powers the reward engine behind our proprietary smartphone, Mode Earn Phone.

Our product is a software stack that automates the low-level, detail-oriented parts of circuit board design. We free engineers up to be more creative and more productive. Our software captures electrical engineering knowledge and makes it reusable, so all of the hard-won design knowledge out in the world can be applied to every new design.

We're building a future where hardware companies can design and iterate as fast as software companies CircuitHub is on a mission to fix rapid electronics prototyping. We are the first automated electronics factory built around a modern tech stack. We help hardware companies producing self driving cars, satellites, 3D printers, robotics, & more to rapidly prototype electronics and get to market faster. We've raised $5M from top investors that include Y Combinator , Google Ventures, & more. Explore more on circuithub.com

Ayar Labs helps companies keep up with skyrocketing volumes of data by offering a breakthrough hardware that brings the super-high bandwidths and low energy use of fiber optics inside computers. We are on a mission to get optics inside all electronics, replacing electricity with light, and bringing breakthrough improvements in performance and energy efficiency to computing. We are commercializing a breakthrough technology from MIT, UC Berkeley, and CU Boulder in which we have figured out how to get silicon chips, such as processors, memory, and ASICs, to communicate with light instead of electricity using established CMOS fabrication processes with no process changes. This alternative to copper interconnects brings unprecedented bandwidth and energy efficiency to computing.

Echodyne Corp (echodyne.com) is building complete radar vision platforms as well as passive and active subsystems using our patented Metamaterial Electronically Scanning Array (MESA). Echodyne’s radar vision platform represents a new category of sensor technology – combining the all-weather, long-range, ground-truth measurement capabilities of radar with the high-resolution imaging capabilities normally associated with cameras or high-end LIDAR. Echodyneis a privately held company founded in 2014 to bring to market metamaterials-based radar products. Echodyne's investors include: Bill Gates, Madrona Venture Group, Vulcan Capital, Lux Capital, The Kresge Foundation, and others. The company is headquartered in Bellevue, WA.

With the launch of our flagship product, RIVER, in April 2017, EcoFlow is on track to revolutionize the way the developed and developing world interacts with power solutions. Whether you are powering a camera on a campsite, a power tool on a rooftop, an office in an RV, a water filter pump in the developing world, or preparing for the apocalypse, RIVER puts an industrial amount of power in a person’s hand. RIVER is the first of several clean, mobile, sustainable power products in development.

ELCO Lighting is a renowned Lighting Manufacturer dedicated to delivering high-quality lighting products to our customers. We are committed to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in our field.

Resilient data movement for agentic AI with software, systems and silicon delivering low latency and high bandwidth data network between compute, memory and storage.

General Compute is the neocloud for alternative chips. Inference is fragmenting: purpose-built silicon from SambaNova, Cerebras, Positron, d-Matrix, and others already beats GPUs on decode, and we productionize that hardware — we buy the racks, find the data center space, and run it for our customers. Each piece of hardware runs the workload it's actually built for: prefill stays on GPUs, decode moves to the chip built for it, and today that means generating tokens 5–7× faster than existing GPU-based competitors. Our customers are frontier labs, fast-growing AI application companies, and asset-light clouds. We closed a $15M seed round in May 2026, and have since closed a $400M debt facility — $100M funded upfront by Upper90, with the balance available for drawdown — collateralized by our inference chips.
