Top Artificial Intelligence Startups in California, US

Viewlocked is an AI-powered travel planning and booking marketplace connecting travelers with verified local partners across stays, experiences, guides, tours, rentals, transportation, and local services, all in one place. We built Viewlocked to solve a simple problem: planning a trip today means juggling a dozen different platforms just to book a hotel, find a tour, rent a scooter, and hire a local guide. Nothing talks to each other, and by the time travelers discover the best local experiences, they're often already locked into their plans. Our AI assistant, VLX, changes that. Travelers build their trip, and VLX surfaces relevant partners in real time based on their dates, destination, and preferences, letting them discover and book everything directly within their itinerary before they even arrive. We officially launched in June 2026 and have already onboarded 60+ verified partners across 15+ countries, with zero paid marketing spend. We've been featured in Travel Daily News International and Travel and Tour World, and we're actively building a global network of travel partners as we scale. For travelers, Viewlocked means one platform for the entire trip. For partners, it means visibility at the exact moment traveler intent is highest, with structured bookings and a simple, transparent commission model. We're a small, fast-moving founding team building something we believe travel has been missing for a long time. If you're passionate about travel, startups, or building at an early stage.

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.

Blaxel is the perpetual sandbox platform, designed for the unique demands of agentic AI. We let you keep infinite, secure sandboxes on automatic standby while co-hosting your agents for near instant latency. This is enabled by our own technical backbone: a 25ms cold-start serverless compute engine. Now processing billions of requests, we power the coding agents and background AIs for top AI startups & scaleups like Webflow or HumanBehavior. We solve the agentic infrastructure problems that traditional clouds aren’t built for, such has running AI code securely, statefully and with ultra-low latency — so that AI companies can focus on building generational products. We raised a $7.3M seed round, led by First Round Capital.
