At GoBananas, we believe creating content should be fun—not a constant battle with half a dozen disconnected tools. We’re building a workspace where content teams no longer have to deal with messy permissions, endless “Can you share access?” messages, or “This Drive is full, where do I upload?” moments. Everything works together, so your team can focus on creating instead of managing tools. We’re making collaboration, reviews, approvals, and publishing feel effortless through thoughtful technology. And we’re building an AI workforce that takes care of the repetitive work, so you rarely have to create, organize, or manage things manually. We believe software should feel more human. It should help people dream bigger, spark creativity, bring a smile to their faces, and let them go bananas.

Coastal Carbon is a seed-funded startup on a mission to create positive impact through earth observation and AI. Founded at the University of Waterloo by a team of PhDs and engineers, we’re backed by some of the best AI and climate tech investors like HF0, Inovia Capital and Propeller Ventures, angels like James Tamplin (cofounder Firebase) and Sid Gorham (cofounder OpenTable, Granular), and partners like Amazon AWS and the United Nations. We’re building multimodal foundation models for the natural world. We believe there’s more to the world than the internet + more to intelligence than memorizing the internet. Our models are trained on satellite remote sensing and real world ground truth data, and are used by our customers in nature conservation, carbon dioxide removal, and government to protect and positively impact our increasingly changing world. Our ultimate goal is to build AGI of the natural world.

Reasoning.Services adds structured thinking tools to AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot) to prevent bad code from shipping. Our tools force AI to challenge assumptions instead of blindly agreeing. Our suite: Structured Reflection (clarifies intent through questioning), Sequential Thinking (enforces analysis stage gates), Context Switcher (surfaces blind spots from multiple perspectives), Decision Matrix (weighted trade-off analysis). We are a small team building in public, offering open-source implementations and a managed subscription.
