At TerraFirma, we’re redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer.

CHIRP builds modular systems that bring intelligence, interoperability and autonomy to the battlefield. By developing technology stacks and securing production pathways in the U.S.A., CHIRP gives the warfighter assurance that the best platforms availability will endure in any supply chain scenario and operate in concert with all of their arsenal. Democratizing the exquisite and building masterpieces that can be fielded en masse.

Deployable Energy is delivering nuclear power how you need it: simple, rugged, and ready for the real world. Scalable 1 MW Reactor  •  Factory Built  •  Standard 5% Low Enriched Fuel

Aalo Atomics designs and builds factory-manufactured nuclear power plants for data centers, industry, and cities. AI infrastructure requires firm, high-density power on timelines the existing grid cannot support. The Aalo Pod delivers it as a complete modular power plant, mass-manufactured in a factory and sited directly at the load. In July 2026, the Aalo Critical Test Reactor achieved first criticality at Idaho National Laboratory as part of the U.S. Department of Energys Reactor Pilot Program. Construction of the pilot Aalo-X full-power 10 MWe power plant is underway. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Aalo pairs nuclear scientists, engineers, and operators with builders from technology, defense, and manufacturing to eventually achieve 3¢/kWh nuclear electricity at scale, growing from 2 people to 200 in three years with $300M+ raised and an operational factory. Energy without limits, for everyone.

X-Bow Systems (“X-Bow”) is an American startup defense technology company. Our solid rocket motor manufacturing technology, combined with our sub-orbital launch and modular boost platforms, make us a disruptive supplier to the defense and national security industries.

Impulse Space, the in-space mobility company, is accelerating our future beyond Earth beginning with a fleet of cost-effective, high-performance space vehicles. Founded by Tom Mueller and led by a team of industry pioneers, Impulse Space is transforming in-space mobility by reliably and rapidly getting customers where they want to go.

Jeevy Fabrication is a AI driven fabrication contractor for welded assemblies. We deliver higher quality QA and schedule transparency while maintaining competitive pricing.

Rito is creating an operating system to transition restaurants into the future of food service.

Theres a gap in every industrial, manufacturing and field services company. Between the document chaos — invoices, engineering drawings, inspection photos, regulatory files — and the structured output the business needs to operate. That gap is filled by people. Good people doing work a machine should do. Not because they havent tried to fix it. Because nothing could handle the complexity. Until now. Corvic automates that workflow. Documents, images, and data in any format. Your exact output. In production in 30 days. FDA dossiers from 3 weeks to 2 days. 20,000 invoices a month, fully automated. P&I diagrams into engineering knowledge graphs. Stop doing manually what a machine should do. → corvic.ai

Ceramic.ai builds enterprise-grade infrastructure to optimize how companies train and deploy their AI models faster and more efficiently.

Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a robotics defense company purpose-built to deliver advanced robotic capabilities to fill modernization demands across the defense industry and national security communities. Weve developed proprietary advanced hardware and software robotic weapon stations, powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, that enable any legacy or modern weapon system to achieve precise aiming and impact. Were headquartered in Austin, TX, with an office in Alexandria, VA. If youre passionate about our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

Harnessing radioisotope decay to generate years of reliable energy for frontiers from deep sea to deep space.

Contoro Robotics is an Austin-based robotics startup that is revolutionizing industrial automation with AI-powered robots, focused on automating the unloading of floor-loaded trailer and shipping containers from trucks. Their pioneering human-in-the-loop (HITL) model ensures over 99% success in real-world applications, bridging the gap between AI limitations and the commercial viability of advanced robotics solutions.

Karrier One is a next-generation mobile network running on decentralized telecom infrastructure. We are building a new kind of public blockchain, dedicated to self-sovereign identity, fair on-chain economies and applied real-world business solutions.

The lack of data accessibility is costing you - 43% of organizations’ compiled data goes unused. You may be looking to create value from your data using AI but are often limited by: data sharing and analytics restrictions due sensitive information and security protocols. Protopia AI helps teams safely access more real data. Protopia’s patented, Stained Glass™ technology transforms your data as it comes from the any source, learns what AI models need, removes what it doesn’t, and obfuscates what it does need to the maximum amount – with minimal accuracy loss. A 10% increase in data access can result in $65+ MN additional income for enterprises. We enable companies to share and tap into more data for their AI - get in touch with us to learn more.
