At Vardera, were building the AI infrastructure layer for physical asset valuation. Our deep learning models identify, appraise, and authenticate physical goods from a single image — compressing decades of human expertise into a sub-second API call. What once required a trained specialist with years of domain knowledge, we deliver at enterprise scale, programmatically, in real time. Enterprises like eBay use Vardera to power accurate identification and pricing across millions of items. Were building the foundational valuation layer for physical assets — the infrastructure that makes it possible for any marketplace, retailer, insurer, or platform to know exactly what a physical item is and what its worth. Think of what Stripe did for payments, or what Plaid did for financial data. Were doing that for the $8+ trillion in hard assets changing hands as industries built on offline expertise finally go digital. Backed by Garuda Ventures and Rackhouse Ventures. Based in Boston, MA. If youre an engineer, researcher, or operator who wants to work on a genuinely hard technical problem with clear commercial traction — were hiring.

It is well documented that roughly 1/3 of all food that is produced is wasted. Many are making great strides to re-use and re-distribute food waste. But few are aware that the biggest impact we can have is by reducing the amount of waste we create in the first place. Spare Food is a culinary innovation company committed to a post-food waste world. We reduce food waste at farms and processors by capturing overlooked and unused ingredients. Using the innovative culinary skills of our co-founder, Chef Adam Kaye (formerly Culinary Director at Blue Hill), we transform these "lost" ingredients into delicious value-add products and dishes that we sell to foodservice, hospitality and restaurant partners, and (soon) directly to consumers.
