KoreVity is building an Intelligent Operations Platform that helps businesses connect knowledge, systems, workflows, and AI in one intelligent operating layer. Businesses already rely on a growing mix of software, documents, data, processes, and people to run their operations. The problem is that much of this information remains fragmented—forcing employees to search across systems, repeat manual work, and make decisions without complete context. KoreVity brings these pieces together. Instead of replacing the software businesses already use, KoreVity makes the way they work with it more intelligent. The platform centralizes business knowledge, connects existing systems, automates repetitive workflows, and provides AI-powered operational intelligence to help teams understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what needs to happen next. KoreVity brings together four core capabilities: • Business Knowledge & Intelligence — organize and make company knowledge accessible and useful • AI Decision Support — provide contextual, grounded answers and insights • Intelligent Automation — reduce repetitive work and coordinate business processes • Operational Intelligence — give teams clearer visibility into business activity and performance Our vision is to make KoreVity the intelligent operating layer businesses use to connect what they know, understand what is happening, and take the right action.

Praescient Analytics is a Veteran Owned Small Business. Our aim is to revolutionize how the world understands information by empowering our customers with the latest analytic tools and methodologies. We were founded by a group of former military intelligence analysts, software engineers, and entrepreneurs with a common passion for analysis. Over the past two years, we have built a team of dedicated professionals with a wide range of experiences and talents. Many of us have deployed to combat zones, others have fought corruption from the halls of academia, and still others have made their mark by going head to head with the media moguls of Hollywood. We believe that this diversity is what makes us great. As a team we value a start up culture, a strong work ethic, and leadership from the front.

At IAM Global Alliance (IGA), our vision is to be the global leader in IAM education, advancing the industry through collaboration, innovation, and cutting-edge training. The global IAM market, valued at $13.4 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $25.6 billion by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%, according to MarketsandMarkets. This rapid growth is driven by the increasing need to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and comply with stringent data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Our mission is to address the urgent demand for high-quality, comprehensive IAM education and empower organizations to build resilient identity and access management strategies.

The problem: Brands spent 20 years optimizing for Google's blue links. Now, 40% of product discovery starts in AI — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. When someone asks "what's the best CRM for small teams" or "recommend a skincare brand for sensitive skin," AI either mentions your brand or it doesn't. There's no ad slot to buy. No ranking to game. The AI either learned to recommend you, or it recommends your competitor. Most companies have zero visibility into what AI says about them. They don't know if ChatGPT recommends them, misrepresents them, or ignores them entirely. And they have no playbook to fix it. What Ninar does: Ninar AI scans 10 AI engines, scores your brand's visibility (0-100), identifies where you're missing from AI recommendations, generates content optimized for AI citation, publishes it to your CMS, and re-scans to verify the improvement landed. One platform: monitor, generate, publish, prove. We call this AI Visibility Optimization — the layer after SEO. We're not replacing search optimization, we're building the tooling for the next surface where buyers make decisions. Where we are: Bootstrapped and profitable on unit economics. NVIDIA Inception member. Live product with paying customers across SaaS, e-commerce, and fintech. Founder-led out of the US (Research Triangle Park, NC), engineering and ops running remote. Why this matters now: Every quarter, AI answers eat more of traditional search traffic. Gartner predicts 25% of search queries won't return a link by end of 2026. Brands that figure out AI visibility now compound that advantage. Brands that wait will spend 10x to catch up later. We're building the picks-and-shovels platform for that shift.
