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.

DefiRilla is a novel decentralized finance monitoring platform built for every DeFi participant. Paste your wallet address and DefiRilla monitors all your wallet's DeFi positions 24/7. This helps our paying users maximize yield and minimize risk across all DeFi protocols and all EVM blockchains. There's nothing like it. We’re a fast-moving development startup just out of stealth and preparing to scale for rapid adoption. Why This Matters – DeFi’s Growth Context Decentralized finance (DeFi) is rapidly expanding out of its early adopter phase and into mainstream usage: Global DeFi market revenue is projected to reach tens of billions of USD per year by the late-2020s as DeFi applications mature and capture more users and financial flows. Projections suggest the industry could hit >$230 billion in market size by 2030, reflecting multi-year compounding growth and adoption. DeFi user adoption continues to scale, with estimates in the hundreds of millions of active users expected within the next few years — and significant upside if even a tiny fraction convert to our paid DeFi services. Scenario: If DefiRilla captures just 0.001 % of a projected ~200 million DeFi users worldwide by 2030 on the current launch discounted $50/month subscription, that equates to roughly 2,000 paying users, generating around $1.2 million annually in recurring revenue (ARR).

Ohana Helps is building the technology layer for the home-services industry. We’re starting with handyman services, but this is much more than a handyman marketplace. We’re building a platform for both customers and independent service professionals: guided quoting, real appointment booking, payments, service history, scheduling, customer management, marketing tools, reviews, promotions, vendor business tools, AI, voice technology, automation, and more. There is significantly more technology behind Ohana than most people would expect. We already have a substantial product and codebase in place. Now I’m looking for the right CTO / Technical Cofounder to help turn it into a category-defining company. I’m not looking for someone who simply wants a developer job. I want a partner who wants to build, ship, lead, solve hard problems, recruit a strong engineering team, and take real ownership of the technology. Over the next 12–18 months, we need to strengthen the existing platform, dramatically improve the customer and vendor UI/UX, launch major new features, expand our AI and automation capabilities, improve infrastructure and reliability, and prepare the product for expansion throughout the U.S. Our goal is to build quickly enough and prove enough growth to put Ohana on a Series A trajectory next year. This is a genuine founding-level opportunity with up to 25% equity, depending on experience, commitment, role, and final structure. We are currently pre-funding, so this is not a salaried CTO opportunity today. It is for someone who wants meaningful ownership and wants to help build the company, not simply work for one. I bring the industry experience, operating knowledge, business model, customer understanding, and vision. I’m looking for the technical partner who can help me build the technology and team capable of taking Ohana nationwide. If your reaction is, “I want to help build that,” we should talk.
