Were building the worlds largest library of videos by combining public videos collected from the open web and private videos aggregated from thousands of different sources. Both feed into a single, continuously updating index of billions of videos that we clean, search, and label to build custom datasets for AI teams. If a lab needs 100K hours of cooking videos featuring hand-object interactions with no scene changes, we query our index, extract the matching subset, and deliver a clean, structured dataset in days.

Hex Security is building the future of penetration testing. Our AI agents autonomously discover critical vulnerabilities—the same work that used to require expensive consultants and months of waiting. Weve already prevented $3B+ in potential damages across major tech companies. Continuous, thorough, and available to every company—not just those with massive security budgets.

There are 2 problems: The first, CAD software is slow and the second, designing with it is a tedious process with many steps. Aurorin solves both of these problems by being a CAD software built from the ground up on a modern tech stack with AI at its heart. Building the CAD kernel lets us fully leverage AI while modernizing execution speed. Almost all existing CAD software (Solidworks, NX, Creo, Catia, Fusion 360, Onshape etc) use the same couple of underlying CAD kernels built in the 80s and 90s. Its common for these programs to take 4 hours to open a file. Aurorin uses a custom parametric and B-Rep driven CAD Kernel built to take full advantage of modern CPUs and GPUs and be AI native.

Were solving the busy problem. The burnout problem. The cant-put-my-phone-down problem. We are always on. 80% of you check your phones as soon as you wake up. 59% of you run through your emails on the weekends and whilst on holiday. Unplugged helps busy workers (like you) unplug from your devices and recharge in nature. Our beautiful digital detox cabins are just an hour from city life, so you dont have to travel far to find what matters. Think your whole team could benefit from a digital detox? Well, we also help companies look after their employees with an annual digital detox as part of their wellbeing benefit programmes. Because free office fruit just doesnt cut the mustard in this tech-obsessed world.

When most people think about planning for death and dealing with loss, they think about wills, lasting power of attorney forms, life insurance, probate. But underneath these cold processes is something much more human - the question of ‘What will you leave behind?’. It’s a chance to share more than just money: leave voice notes, playlists, recipes, and videos. Not something to be rushed, but to be added to as life changes. Co-created in conversation with friends and family.
