Armis provides an agentless cybersecurity platform that identifies, monitors, and protects managed, unmanaged, and IoT devices across enterprise networks in real-time. Unlike traditional solutions requiring agent installation, Armis uses passive network monitoring and an AI-powered Asset Intelligence Engine to detect threats across the entire attack surface regardless of device type or operating system. The platform serves Fortune 100/500 companies and government entities, delivering comprehensive asset visibility and threat detection without the operational overhead of agent deployment.

Verkada is an AI-powered, cloud-native security platform that unifies video surveillance, access control, alarms, intercoms, and air quality monitoring through a single integrated software interface called Verkada Command. Built by Stanford founders and a Meraki veteran, it replaces legacy hardware-based security systems with a modern, subscription-based model where sensors stream to secure cloud infrastructure with hybrid architecture for continuous operation during outages. The platform processes over 20 million images per hour to provide actionable insights like occupancy rates, foot traffic patterns, and security violations across enterprise campuses.

KINEXON provides a real-time location intelligence platform (KINEXON OS) that converts UWB, BLE, RFID, and GPS data into a digital twin of industrial operations. The platform enables precise centimeter-level asset tracking and automated control of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs/AGVs) across manufacturing and logistics environments. With over 10,000 daily users across BMW plants, Continental, and other Fortune 500 manufacturers, KINEXON delivers measurable ROI through operational automation and cost savings. The company is a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Indoor Location Services.

Platform Science is a configurable fleet management software platform that unifies drivers, vehicles, and back-office systems on a single operating system. The company's Virtual Vehicle platform leverages factory-installed OEM systems to provide fleets access to real-time telematics, ELD compliance, driver monitoring, and a marketplace of pre-integrated third-party apps—eliminating the need for redundant aftermarket hardware. It serves large carriers like Schneider National, Werner Enterprises, and Walmart's 12,000-truck fleet, differentiating through an open OEM-integrated approach that reduces total cost of ownership while ensuring data availability even in areas with poor cellular coverage.

Exein develops embedded runtime security that integrates directly into device firmware to detect and prevent threats in real-time at the kernel level. The platform uses eBPF-based observability and AI-driven behavior analysis to protect IoT, industrial, automotive, and aerospace devices without degrading performance or requiring hardware changes. Unlike traditional endpoint security that detects breaches after compromise, Exein blocks malicious execution paths before they can run, eliminating entire attack classes at the edge.

Momenta is an Industrial Impact venture capital firm founded in 2012 that accelerates digital innovators across energy, manufacturing, smart spaces, and supply chain. The firm combines early-stage funding ($775K–$3.5M checks) with operator-led co-creation, leveraging deep industry expertise to help founders deploy AI, IIoT, and Edge Intelligence solutions. Beyond capital, Momenta provides digital strategy, M&A execution, and go-to-market guidance, partnering with industrial leaders like Rockwell Automation to drive Industry 5.0 adoption.

Nozomi Networks provides an industrial cybersecurity platform that delivers unified visibility, threat detection, and automated remediation for operational technology (OT), IoT, and cyber-physical systems. The platform uses AI-powered analysis to classify assets, detect anomalies, and prioritize vulnerabilities across complex industrial environments. Built by experts in industrial network security and AI, Nozomi protects over 105 million devices across critical infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and utilities sectors globally.
