Sorcero is on a mission to improve patient outcomes by empowering life sciences experts. The Sorcero Intelligence Platform enables teams at the top global life sciences enterprises to explore vast libraries of unstructured medically relevant content, illuminating the most meaningful analytics and medical insights.

Madorra is empowering women to live fuller, richer, healthier lives. Our first product is changing the paradigm for treating vaginal dryness by providing a medical device solution to a problem that has previously only been served by pharmaceuticals. We’re giving postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors the power to choose the non-hormonal treatment option they want. Madorra has developed the first, non-invasive, non-hormonal medical device to treat vaginal atrophy. This is an easy-to-use, at-home device, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.

Enterprises and federal agencies are investing heavily in AI, but deployment repeatedly fails at the “last mile” leading to the loss of trillions of dollars in wasted investment and lost opportunity. AISquared solves the last mile problem by creating a secure, production-grade way to operationalize AI inside the business applications where work actually happens, without requiring large new engineering lifts, while giving leaders measurable visibility into adoption, performance, and business impact. AI Squared provides a comprehensive, low-code platform, UNIFI and Sparx, designed to “CLOSE” the gap between AI potential and real operational outcomes through five core capabilities: 1. Connects by integrating virtually any data source and any AI model using pre-built connectors. 2. Learns by capturing real-time user feedback directly inside the workflow to support continuous model improvement. 3. Orchestrates by managing complex data workflows and policies through a single UI. 4. Secures deployments with defense-grade controls. 5. Embeds insights where work happens by delivering no-code widgets and visualizations or AI chatbots integrated directly into systems. This results in 5x faster time-to-value and measurable ROI that is Trusted by leading financial institutions, complex supply chain organizations, and the United States Department of Defense, AI Squared helps organizations move from stalled pilots to real adoption, faster decision making, and measurable operational impact.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…"​ With an annual budget of more than $8 billion, NSF is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. In many fields, such as mathematics, computer science, and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing. NSF awards about 11,000 new awards per year, with an average duration of three years -- to fund specific research proposals that have been judged the most promising by a rigorous and objective merit-review system. In the past few decades, NSF-funded researchers have won more than 200 Nobel Prizes as well as other honors too numerous to list. NSF funds equipment that is needed by scientists and engineers but is often too expensive for any one group or researcher to afford. Another essential element in NSFs mission is support for science and engineering education, from pre-K through graduate school and beyond. There are many exciting careers at NSF, not only in science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM), but also in business and operations.
