Together AI is an AI Acceleration Cloud platform enabling developers and researchers to train, fine-tune, and deploy generative AI models at scale. The platform supports over 200 open-source models across all modalities (chat, image, audio, vision, code, embeddings) with 2-3x faster inference than hyperscalers, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and infrastructure scaling from 16 to 100,000+ GPUs. Founded by Stanford professors and serial entrepreneurs, Together AI is positioned as the cloud infrastructure layer for the open-source AI ecosystem, with recent expansion into data transformation through the Refuel.ai acquisition.

MinIO is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage platform designed for enterprises that need complete control over their data infrastructure. Built for Kubernetes-native deployments across edge, on-premises, and cloud environments, it enables organizations to run their own S3-compatible storage without vendor lock-in. The software-defined architecture optimizes for AI/ML workloads, analytics, and large-scale data processing, with support for objects up to 50TB and deployment flexibility that traditional cloud storage cannot match.

Temporal is a durable execution platform that enables developers to build resilient applications by guaranteeing reliable execution of complex, long-running workflows as code. It eliminates the need for custom infrastructure like message queues, pub/sub systems, and schedulers by providing built-in retries, event sourcing, state checkpointing, and task management. Used by companies like Stripe, Netflix, Datadog, and Snapchat to power millions of workflows daily, Temporal abstracts away distributed systems complexity so developers can write resilient code naturally.

AngelList Venture is a marketplace and back-office software platform that connects early-stage startups with angel investors, syndicates, and venture funds while providing compliance, legal, and fund management infrastructure. The platform serves fund managers, syndicates, and startups by removing operational friction from fundraising and fund administration. As of 2025, the platform supports $171 billion in assets under administration across 25,000+ active investment vehicles and has helped 108 unicorn companies secure early-stage capital.
