Top Internet Startups in 2026

The physical world runs on some of the most complex supply chains in existence. Distributors, manufacturers, and their partners manage thousands of SKUs, juggle siloed systems, and rely on tribal knowledge that never gets captured. The tools built to run these businesses—legacy ERPs, spreadsheets, disconnected portals—weren't designed for the speed, intelligence, or scale the industry now demands. We're changing that from the ground up. Matterhaul sits above the systems these businesses already run. We unify their data into a single intelligent layer, deploy AI agents across quoting, order entry, procurement, and dispatch, and surface the insights teams need to move faster and make better decisions, without ripping out what's already in place. That's the wedge. The vision is bigger. As we build the unified data layer and the agentic workflows on top of it, we're assembling the foundation for something the industry has never had: a purpose-built, AI-native platform for the physical world that doesn't just automate what ERPs do today, it does what they were never capable of. Capturing expert judgment. Compounding institutional knowledge. Turning every transaction into a signal that makes the next one smarter. We're a small team with deep roots in this space. Matterhaul's founders grew up in the trades and spent careers building systems and products for the physical world at companies like Stripe, Verkada, and Cisco Meraki. We're backed by leading investors, based in San Francisco's SOMA/Transbay neighborhood, and we believe in being close to our customers and to each other. We spend time on job sites, in distribution centers, and alongside the operators who run these businesses every day. We move fast, ship often, and build for the people who actually do the work.

AI can generate code. We engineer the complete solution: development, deployment, hosting, integrations, security, and long-term support. You bring the idea, even if it's just a ChatGPT conversation. We transform it into production-ready software.

RedCarpetHQ is an AI-powered marketplace for tokenized film and entertainment IP. We turn film profit participation rights into liquid, tradeable real-world assets (RWAs), enabling producers to raise non-dilutive capital while giving investors transparent, secondary-market exposure to media assets. Built for institutional-grade compliance and retail-scale access, our platform combines smart contract-based asset tokenization, automated revenue distribution, and AI-driven investor engagement. We serve film producers, content studios, and global investors seeking yield-bearing exposure to the entertainment industry. By replacing opaque, multi-year payout cycles with on-chain transparency and instant liquidity, RedCarpetHQ is building the settlement layer for the future of entertainment finance.

At Interview Screener, we are building the future of hiring. Recruiting is traditionally slow and repetitive. Hiring managers and recruiters spend hours sorting through resumes and conducting introductory phone screens. This manual process takes up valuable time, is prone to bias, and often lets great candidates slip through the cracks. We solve this by building AI-powered hiring software that makes screening instant, objective, and highly accurate. Our platform automatically screens applicants, evaluates their skills, and highlights the absolute best matches for your team. By automating the early stages of recruiting, we help companies cut their time-to-hire in half and ensure they focus their energy only on top-tier talent. We are a fast-growing team of developers, designers, and HR tech innovators passionate about making hiring fairer and smarter for everyone.
