We build robotic arms. Custom-built robotic arms are already in use on the International Space Station and on planetary rovers. Our goal is to provide robotic arms that can be adapted for any space mission— from lunar surface missions to free-flying satellite missions. Robotic arms may be attached to lunar landers and rovers to enable a range of activities, including drilling, prospecting, instrument pointing, mobility, and cargo management. Made In Space Europe also provides robotic arms for orbital and free-flying missions, to support and enable activities such as satellite servicing and refueling, in-space manufacturing, debris capture, payload management, and more.

Achieving our mission will require solving ambitious technical challenges, including engineering, research, and design, and we are assembling a world-class team to do so. Our founding team includes AI pioneers from Google Brain and Meta Research whose research has led to major breakthroughs in natural language understanding and dialog applications such as Transformers and Google LaMDA.

MavenAGI is on a mission to reimagine enterprise customer experience, starting with support. We believe that today’s support experience is broken: slow and painful for customers, and expensive and human capital intensive for companies.

With recent advancements in Generative AI, it is now possible to deliver delightful customer experiences at a fraction of today’s cost.

Jona is a technology company using AI to reveal the relationship between the microbiome and personal health. Our AI can input a person’s microbiome composition and, by having the AI read the entirety of the scientific and clinical literature, both interpret the health implications of the person’s microbiome and also provide guidance on the foods, lifestyle modifications and medications that can improve their microbiome and health, while providing fully sourced corresponding scientific evidence. We believe that rapid advances in microbiome science, use of generative AI to interpret complex testing and changes to the consumer health landscape have created a new opportunity to serve the 60-70 million Americans suffering from digestive problems. Although we are starting with digestive health, our combination of deep microbiome sequencing, large language models (AI) and repeated engagement with individuals enables us to quickly expand to address challenges in autoimmune conditions, obesity, mental health, Parkinson's, liver disease and more. Jona is an early stage company founded by Leo Grady, CEO in Residence at Breyer Capital, who is internationally recognized for his work to deliver AI in healthcare for nearly 20 years at pioneering bay area startups (HeartFlow), multinational medical companies (Siemens) and, most recently, as CEO of Paige.ai in New York.
