Our mission is to make AI trustworthy for all enterprises. We’re building a new kind of ML platform to help enterprises accelerate their adoption of AI by building responsible systems with trust, visibility, and insights built-in.

Opal Security is intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.

We’re a hypergrowth AI startup backed by top-tier VC firms. We’ve created a new paradigm for enterprise artificial intelligence with a breakthrough technology called Organizational Memory (OM1). It’s fundamentally reshaping how people do work. Unlike any other AI product, OM1 builds “a brain” for companies–knows what’s happening in real time across the whole business, and has all the output capabilities of a human employee. Roles like Product, Engineering, G2M, and Management will never be the same. And while we’re starting by selling our technology to other software businesses, we have the ability to serve hundreds of different industries. We're not just building another productivity tool. We're ushering in a fundamental revolution in how humans do work. With proven product-market fit, rapid YoY ARR growth, and household-name customers, we’re expanding our team to dominate what will be a $10T+ industry. And we’re only just getting started.

Our mission is to make technical advances towards robots and humans working together side by side, with an emphasis on human-centric design. Diligent Robotics is developing a suite of artificial intelligence that enables robots to collaborate with and adapt to humans in everyday environments. Our first product is a hospital service robot that can assist clinical staff with logistical tasks, allowing them to spend more of their time on direct patient care, improving patient satisfaction, quality of service, and safety.

Squint is a Silicon Valley based software company backed by Sequoia Capital (investors in Apple, Google, Instagram, and more) and Menlo Ventures (investors in Uber, Siri, and more). Our team has deep expertise in Augmented Reality — over 45 foundational patents and past work featured in Apple Event keynotes. Squint’s mission is to accelerate human potential by bringing digital knowledge into the real world. Our team has developed the only AR product in the world that is truly “open world” — that is: it can be created anywhere, on the spot, and doesn’t require a QR code or a 3D model to detect objects and orient itself precisely.

Uncountable has built an enterprise software platform for R&D organizations to minimize the number of experiments required to reach a higher level of performance. By using the platform, scientists have instant access and search-ability to all of their previous formulations, instead of digging through disparate spreadsheets. And with previous experimental records properly structured and stored, Uncountable's artificial intelligence engine can be manipulated to provide the best formulation suggestions in order to achieve new product goals.

We have built an AI powered food and exercise as medicine platform to improve treatments for Metabolic Syndrome and Reduce Readmissions.

Every business that sells something a person has to install, use, or repair already has the video, cannot search it, and has customers asking about it anyway. We built the thing that finds the answer. Businesses pay us to turn how-to video into an expert on their own channels that answers their customers in their own voice.
