Companies

Volansi builds and operates high-payload long-range unmanned aerial vehicles to service B2B customers with a point-to-point delivery solution that saves them millions of dollars in down-time costs. We service customers around the world with a focus on defense, commercial, and medical supply deliveries. Our aerial vehicles can transport loads up to 200 lbs up to 1,000 mi. Volansi was founded by Hannan Parvizian and Wesley Zheng in 2015, and is based in San Francisco.

We are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry by replacing fuel with solar panels. Solar-powered cargo ships have the potential to eliminate 2.2% of global CO2 production, while simultaneously cutting shipping costs by 50-75% depending on route. We are making a boat that is both greener and cheaper.

AWS for manufacturing. Founded in 2015 and based in Brooklyn, NY, Voodoo operates a robotic 3D printing factory with over 250 3D printers, capable of making thousands of parts faster than traditionally possible. Voodoo has worked with thousands of customers to date, from engineers and entrepreneurs to companies such as Microsoft, NBCUniversal, Mattel, and Intel. Visit www.voodoomfg.com to learn more.

Many pressing problems facing humanity can be solved with faster scientific compute. Currently, it takes billions of dollars to design and develop a new fusion reactor, a hyper-sonic airplane or a new cancer treatment. This is because scientists and engineers have to build very expensive things before they even know if their ideas work. But what if we can simulate the workings of these ideas (and more) on computers first and have high confidence that it works before we build really expensive things? The work of humanity's greatest scientists over the years has given us the physics and math to do this. The problem is that we simply do not have the computing power to solve these big problems. To address this, the Vorticity Inc is re-imagining scientific computing all the way down to processor architecture and system design. Our proven technology is already helping the energy, life sciences and aerospace industries.

At Wacomet Water (formerly WATERFX) we are reimagining water. Our current water system was designed for a global population of three billion people and by the end of this century we will need clean water for over ten billion people. Our mission is to use technology to develop a new source of fresh water and make access to water affordable and abundant for every human being on the planet. We do this using solar-powered desalination to generate water from an infinite source of salt water and distribute this water via a peer-to-peer distribution platform called Liquid. Our mission is to provide a better, more reliable, 100% sustainable water service to consumers, businesses and cities.

Wardstone is a space defense-tech company developing next-generation capabilities to protect the United States and its allies from missiles and other space-based threats. We design, build, and deploy satellites equipped with space-based interceptors to kinetically counter hypersonic and ballistic missiles.

With Wren, anyone can offset their carbon footprint by supporting credible nature, industry, and policy projects. We also show users how they can reduce their carbon footprint. We make it easy for anyone to turn climate confusion into climate action.

We amplify worker produtivity by10X. Restaurants and food retail businesses require high volume and consistency, yet many business owners struggle to achieve this. Employees also dislike working in repetitive and labor-intensive environments, where even a slight mistake can lead to customer complaints. This results in high turnover rates in the restaurant industry. Our goal is to let robots and machines handle the boring, laborious tasks so that humans can focus on engaging with customers and collecting product feedback.

At Zeitview, our goal is to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure. We do this by combining advanced inspection software with the ability to capture visual data in more than 60 countries. This allows us to deliver safer, faster, lower-cost inspections of energy and infrastructure assets with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. We use artificial intelligence and machine learning to ingest and analyze vast amounts of visual data to provide objective insights that our customers can act on immediately.

We’re building AI-powered systems that automate manual work in scientific labs using robotics. Scientists simply type their experiment in plain English. Zeon translates it into code and runs it on robotic arms (no coding required). By controlling robots with natural language, we’re enabling automation for every lab, every scientist, and every experiment. Zeon is lab-aware. It detects equipment, adapts to protocols, and moves autonomously between instruments to execute full workflows. We’re already working with labs at Stanford and UCSF to accelerate discovery - from running overnight nanoparticle fluorescence measurements to safely disposing of hundreds of bacterial samples. Zeon reclaims time for what matters most: the science.

Zetta is building the next NVIDIA, energy-efficient chips ("XPUs") for AI training and inference, offering superior speed and energy efficiency compared to traditional GPUs and TPUs. Our XPUs are reconfigurable, capable of optimizing the dataflow of each model, making them faster and more energy-efficient than the current SOTA chips on the market. This saves data centers *billions* in cooling and energy costs.

Batteries have a big role to play in tackling the climate crisis, and it’s essential to make sure that they’re safe and reliable to operate. At Zitara, we build cutting-edge software solutions that empower companies to deeply understand their batteries, both in design and deployment. It’s all part of our work to enable a renewable energy revolution, powered by safer batteries, at a lower cost, with less waste.

Surface fouling is a costly challenge across industries, impacting medical consumables, diagnostic devices, and automotive components. Contamination from substances like mud, ice, and sludge can compromise performance and lead to frequent cleaning, repairs, and replacements. Our PFAS-free coating, which we first launched as a consumer product, has quickly expanded into industrial partnerships. It dramatically reduces contamination on critical surfaces such as glass, metal, ceramic, and now plastics too. Whether for medical devices or automotive components, our coating protects against surface fouling Currently our coatings work best on glass, metal, and ceramic surfaces.
