Implementing Web 10—a futuristic, societally beneficial personal and global OS

Raizz is building a new kind of sleep wearable designed not just to track sleep, but to actively help people sleep better. Our wearable combines advanced sleep sensing, AI, and gentle closed-loop neurotechnology to understand sleep in real time and respond when needed. We’re building an integrated hardware and software experience that turns sleep data into personalized support — both during the night and throughout the day. We’re an early-stage, venture-backed team with backgrounds from Apple, Stanford, and Tsinghua, bringing together expertise across consumer hardware, software, AI, sleep science, and design. We’re preparing to launch our first product and are building the team that will take Raizz from an ambitious idea to a product used by people every night.

When we say that Recover is "execution Infrastructure", we mean that the platform we've built enables the completion of a restoration or remediation project. These are generally insurance losses that stem from fire, water, mold, or storm damage to residential or commercial properties. These projects involve adjusters, homeowners, contractors, subcontractors, inspectors, mortgage companies, and sometimes HOA's. They're large, complex, and require extensive compliance-focused documentation. We bought and run a restoration franchise for the purpose of understanding how the system is broken, because living the job challenges every day was the only way to design a system replacement.

Plato, a Stanford University spinout backed by NEA and deployed at numerous global manufacturing companies, stands at the forefront of manufacturing innovation with its Spatial Intelligence platform. Plato’s Operations Digital Twin tool empowers multinational electronics manufacturers, semiconductor fabs, and EMS providers to drive productivity and efficiency without adding capex costs or labor. Here’s a breakdown of how Plato transforms manufacturing operations: ▪ Plato’s unique system digitizes factory behavior and operator activity with Zero-Touch fusion sensors. ▪ The Data Fusion engine seamlessly merges operator activity data with machine and production data, creating a comprehensive Operations Digital Twin for a contextualized view of the manufacturing process. ▪ Leveraging an advanced AI engine (Athena), Plato continuously analyzes the fusion data to set performance baselines, identify inefficiency patterns, and pinpoint root causes. ▪ Key insights and relevant contextual data are displayed on a unified dashboard, allowing teams to efficiently review trends, flagged events, and relevant contextual data. ▪ Plato's technology enables 20%+ improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), setting a new standard in operational efficiency.

Like it or not, we live in a hyper world. Hyper innovation. Hyper competition. Hyper customer shifts. The hyper ups and downs of business cycles don’t change this—the demands remain. So, what separates the winning startups from the unfortunate losers in any hyper environment? A hyper focus on engaging your customers with marketing relevance, speed, and spend that delivers sales.

Mission: Be the compute platform for AGI and make AI better, faster, and cheaper by building more powerful hardware. Approach: We target just LLMs, whereas GPUs target all ML models. LLMs are different; our hardware and software can be much simpler. By combining deep domain experience, a few key ideas, and a lot of careful engineering.

We are building conversational AI agents for businesses.
