Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, VEIR is a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of category-defining superconducting power delivery systems built for the extreme energy demands of the AI era. By commercializing next-generation superconducting technology into deployable systems, VEIR delivers ~10x higher power density than conventional options, enabling “speed-to-power” where incremental optimization falls short. VEIR’s initial focus is AI data centers behind the meter, with solutions engineered for repeatable deployment at scale. Built to power progress.

AMP is applying AI-powered sortation at scale to modernize the worlds recycling infrastructure and maximize the value in waste. AMP gives waste and recycling leaders the power to harness AI to reduce labor costs, increase resource recovery, and deliver more reliable operations. With hundreds of deployments across North America, Asia, and Europe, AMP’s technology offers a transformational solution to waste sortation and changes the fundamental economics of recycling.

Offering comprehensive solutions for returnable packaging, including reverse logistics, sanitization, and procurement, Dispatch Goods empowers its partners to reduce packaging costs, enhance customer satisfaction, and bolster their brand image with environmentally friendly alternatives. Through their partnerships, Dispatch Goods has successfully diverted over 8 million pieces of packaging from landfills.

Demex is a technology-enabled services company that enables insurance companies to mitigate the economic impacts of climate change. Growing losses from severe weather are making the business model for insurance companies unsustainable. Over the past decade, losses from such events as severe convective storms (SCS), hailstorms, derechos, winter storms, and drought have vastly outpaced damages from traditional catastrophes such as hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes. Demex is pioneering a vital transformation in severe weather reinsurance to enable insurers to survive these risks. Our product, Retained Climate Risk Reinsurance (RCR Re), is a groundbreaking reinsurance offering that enables insurance companies to transfer climate risk by modeling, structuring, and settling the accumulation of small- and medium-sized insurance claims that are caused by severe weather. This product is powered by cutting edge technology, sophisticated modeling techniques, and extensive weather risk datasets to perform predictive modeling and risk analysis at scale. Demex launched RCR Re in 2023 and had a breakout year, transacting over $60M in climate risk and building a strong coalition of marketplace partners. Demex’s reinsurance solution for secondary perils won the ‘Insurtech Product of the Year’ at the 2024 Insurance Insider Honors and ‘Innovation in Parametrics (Weather and NatCat - Private Sector) at the global Parametric Insurer Awards 2024.

Founded in 2021, Muon Space is an end-to-end space systems company that designs, builds, and operates mission-optimized satellite constellations to deliver critical data and enable real-time compute and decision-making in space. Its proprietary technology stack, Halo™, integrates advanced spacecraft platforms, robust payload integration and management, and a powerful software-defined orchestration layer to enable high-performance capabilities at unprecedented speed – from concept to orbit. With state-of-the-art production facilities in Silicon Valley and a growing track record of defense, civil, and commercial and national security customers, Muon Space is redefining how mission-critical intelligence is delivered from space.
