World Labs is a spatial intelligence company building Large World Models (LWMs) to perceive, generate, and interact with the 3D world. We aim to lift AI models from the 2D plane of pixels to full 3D worlds – both virtual and real – endowing them with spatial intelligence as rich as our own. We believe that humans are innovative, curious, and creative; science and technology are both manifestations and drivers of these impulses. Propelling AI forward with spatial intelligence will also propel forward both individuals and humanity as a whole. Toward this goal, World Labs will develop spatially intelligent LWMs that can understand and reason about the 3D world from images and other modalities. Over time, we expect to train increasingly powerful models with broader capabilities that can be applied in a variety of domains, working alongside people. These are ambitious goals, so we are building an ambitious company to tackle them. Our team, led by co-founders Fei-Fei Li, PhD; Justin Johnson, PhD; Christoph Lassner, PhD; and Ben Mildenhall, PhD, has a strong research background, but we are not motivated by exploration for its own sake. Instead, we believe that now is a unique moment where rapid scientific progress has thinned the barrier between research and applications. We aim to seize this opportunity, focusing on the entire throughline from research to engineering to product to people. We are bringing together the most formidable slate of pixel talent ever assembled, creating a tight feedback loop between our spatially intelligent foundation models and products that will empower our users. We invite you to learn more about joining our fast-growing team.

The NodeZero® platform empowers your organization to continuously find, fix, and verify your exploitable attack surface. Reduce your security risk by autonomously finding weaknesses in your network, knowing how to prioritize and fix them, and immediately verifying that your fixes work. NodeZero delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across your largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments. No required agents, no code to write, and no consultants to hire. We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. Were committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools, false positives resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants.

We started FreeSWITCH because we wanted to solve our own challenging problems. We could not find a stable, scalable way to implement our 2004 call center as a service product. DIY solutions were a collection of random tools with constant stability and maintenance issues; premade solutions were massively expensive and still required physical data centers anyway. We built FreeSWITCH on our vision of solving those problems, made a community, and used it for insight. This took us well beyond the original goal. FreeSWITCH became so ubiquitous that the world made many vertical products with it that generate billions of dollars a year. At SignalWire, we empower businesses with easy-to-use and customizable cloud communications tools. Programmable Unified Communications supplants one-size-fits-all solutions, sparking innovation and growth. We have harnessed the complexity of CPaaS UCaaS CCaaS and Voice AI and made the entire paradigm available to developers. Come talk to us and we can help you achieve your goals.

Wherobots, the Spatial Intelligence Cloud, enables any data team to innovate with data about the physical world faster, at greater scale, and at lower cost compared to traditional solutions. Built by the creators of Apache Sedona, its a lakehouse engine that unifies spatial and non-spatial data, automates data workflows, and runs AI on planetary scale imagery. Spatial data refers to information about places, objects, or activities. Examples include GPS points and tracks, routes, land, road, parcel, crop, and building data, as well as imagery from drones and satellites. This data is fundamental to various industries including mobility, ag-tech, insurance, energy, telecommunications, retail, and logistics. In one solution, Wherobots handles these diverse spatial data types and formats, with customers seeing production workloads run up to 20x faster and at lower cost than popular lakehouse engines. For more information, visit www.wherobots.com.

Phylum is a security-as-code platform that gives security and risk teams more visibility into the code development lifecycle, and the ability to enforce security policy without disrupting innovation. Phylum analyzes open-source software packages as they are published and contextualizes the risks, protecting developers and applications at the perimeter of the open-source ecosystem and the tools used to build source code. The platform can be deployed on endpoints or plug directly into CI/CD pipelines so organizations experience seamless, always-on defense at the earliest stages of a build. In 2022, Phylums analysis of open-source packages identified thousands of new malicious packages, malicious authors, and supply chain risks that culminated in a massive improvement to open-source software and the first inaugural Black Hat Innovation Spotlight award.
