Basis builds AI agents that autonomously execute complex accounting workflows end-to-end, including tax return preparation, audit testing, and reconciliation tasks. The platform ingests data from accounting systems and ERPs, performs analysis and calculations, and delivers finished work for human review. Top accounting firms use Basis to shift their teams from execution to review, achieving 20-50% efficiency gains across tax, audit, and advisory practices.

Dataminr is an AI platform that analyzes over 1 million public data sources—including text in 150 languages, images, video, and sensor data—to detect breaking events, emerging risks, and threats in real-time. It processes nearly 500,000 daily events and alerts users to critical information across physical, digital, and cyber domains before mainstream media or traditional sources. The platform serves enterprise, government, and media organizations seeking early warning signals of high-impact incidents. Dataminr differentiates through multimodal AI fusion, global scope covering 100+ countries, and speed of detection that has repeatedly beaten traditional news by hours.

Hammerspace is a metadata-driven data orchestration platform that sits above file and object storage systems, providing a unified global namespace for accessing unstructured data across on-premises and public cloud infrastructure. Rather than storing data itself, it acts as a software layer that enables enterprises to access files regardless of storage type, vendor, or location while optimizing performance for AI and HPC workloads. The platform automatically transitions data between high-performance Tier 0 storage during compute-intensive operations and cost-efficient object storage during idle periods, eliminating GPU idle time caused by data bottlenecks.

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform that provides developers with a PostgreSQL database, authentication, instant APIs, real-time subscriptions, edge functions, and storage—all accessible through a web interface. It eliminates backend infrastructure setup, allowing developers to focus on frontend development while maintaining full control over their data through self-hosting capabilities. The platform has become the default backend for AI coding tools like Bolt and Lovable, and serves over 4 million developers including 36% of recent Y Combinator batches.

Sakana AI develops foundation models using evolution-inspired techniques and collective intelligence to create domain-specific AI systems with minimal computational overhead. The company automates the entire AI development lifecycle through products like AI Scientist (automated research discovery) and Sakana Fugu (multi-agent model orchestration), serving enterprises in finance, defense, and research. Unlike traditional approaches requiring massive GPU clusters, Sakana's evolutionary model merge technique discovers optimal model combinations through natural selection, dramatically reducing energy consumption while achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Employee Navigator is a broker-centric benefits administration platform that consolidates benefits enrollment, compliance, onboarding, and payroll integration into a single system. It automates the exchange of benefits data between employers, brokers, insurance carriers, and payroll providers, reducing manual work and compliance risk. The platform connects 195,000+ employers, 7,000+ brokers, and 600+ partners, positioning itself as an agnostic marketplace rather than an enterprise HCM suite.

Invisible Technologies is an AI operations platform that combines software automation with human expertise to help enterprises operationalize AI at scale. The platform (Meridial) includes five modular components—Neuron for data infrastructure, Atomic for workflow mapping, Expert Marketplace for human labor, Synapse for evaluation, and Axon for agentic automation—enabling clients to structure messy data, build digital workflows, and deploy AI agents. Serving enterprises like Microsoft, SAIC, and the Charlotte Hornets, Invisible positions itself as "Operations-as-a-Service," bridging pure software automation and traditional outsourcing to solve the enterprise challenge of getting AI models into production and quantifying ROI.

Parallel Web Systems builds APIs that enable AI agents to reliably access and reason over real-time web data. The company's Deep Research API and complementary tools (Search, Extract, Task, FindAll, Monitor) are optimized to feed clean, verified content directly into AI context windows, reducing hallucinations and operational costs. Founded by former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, Parallel serves enterprise customers including banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, and AI-native platforms that need AI systems to perform complex research and automation tasks at scale.

Quantum Art is a full-stack trapped-ion quantum computing company developing scalable quantum hardware with proprietary multi-core ion chain architecture. The company aims to deliver quantum systems with 100x faster gate speeds, 100x more parallel operations, and 50x smaller footprint compared to competitor roadmaps. Founded as a Weizmann Institute spin-off with deep expertise from Nobel laureate collaborators, Quantum Art targets near-term quantum advantage by 2027 and million-qubit systems by 2033.

ZaiNar provides real-time sub-meter positioning and location intelligence using patented phase-based signal processing and sub-nanosecond time synchronization on existing radio infrastructure. The system achieves sub-10cm accuracy indoors, outdoors, and through walls without GPS, operating system permissions, or device manufacturer cooperation. It serves enterprises and carriers across healthcare, construction, smart cities, and industrial sectors, with over $450M in contracts and deployments on multiple continents.

Emergence builds mission-critical agentic infrastructure for enterprises, enabling verified and governed AI agents that plan, reason, and act across complex systems. Their flagship Emergence Orchestrator is an autonomous meta-agent that intelligently routes tasks to optimal AI models, with a core innovation called 'Agents Creating Agents™' that allows systems to autonomously build, train, and deploy new agents recursively. The company positions itself as research-heavy with cross-vendor compatibility as a key differentiator, serving use cases from semiconductor design to enterprise operations automation.

Futr builds secure AI chatbots and co-piloted live chat platforms that eliminate hallucination risks through proprietary guardrails and real-time validation. The platform automates customer support across 145+ languages with intelligent escalation and operates in highly regulated environments including government, police, and financial services.
