Aalo Atomics designs and builds factory-manufactured nuclear power plants for data centers, industry, and cities. AI infrastructure requires firm, high-density power on timelines the existing grid cannot support. The Aalo Pod delivers it as a complete modular power plant, mass-manufactured in a factory and sited directly at the load. In July 2026, the Aalo Critical Test Reactor achieved first criticality at Idaho National Laboratory as part of the U.S. Department of Energys Reactor Pilot Program. Construction of the pilot Aalo-X full-power 10 MWe power plant is underway. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Aalo pairs nuclear scientists, engineers, and operators with builders from technology, defense, and manufacturing to eventually achieve 3¢/kWh nuclear electricity at scale, growing from 2 people to 200 in three years with $300M+ raised and an operational factory. Energy without limits, for everyone.

Privateer integrates data sources from sea to space to sculpt information into answers, enabling problem-solvers across a variety of industries to understand the present, anticipate the future, and make informed decisions in the face of complex challenges.

EnCharge AI is a leader in advanced hardware and software systems for AI computing. EnCharge’s robust and scalable next-generation in-memory computing technology provides orders-of-magnitude higher compute efficiency and density compared to today’s best-in-class solutions, at a fraction of the cost.

Figure is an AI Robotics company building the worlds first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot. We are based in San Jose, CA.

To make AI inference commercially viable, d-Matrix has built a new computing platform from the ground up: Corsair™, the world’s most efficient compute solution for AI inference at datacenter scale. We are redefining Performance and Efficiency for AI Inference at scale.

Embedded Fintech company powering merchant payments and financial services. We aim to reconnect banks with their entire base of SME merchants by transforming the merchants’ mobile phone as a medium to accept all forms of payments (Cards, QR, UPI and SMS link-based payments) and deliver a comprehensive stack of commerce enablement solutions in an integrated manner. The platform currently serves over 500,000 merchants in India and the Middle-East and is already demonstrating consolidation of payments for merchants and enhanced financial access for them including improvement in activation rates and total payment throughput leading to a higher merchant engagement score. #MintingTheFuture

Ayar Labs is transforming AI infrastructure by accelerating data movement. Recognizing that the complexity and size of AI models are increasing at a rate that traditional interconnect technology cannot handle, the company has developed the industry’s first co-packaged optics (CPO) solution that enables customers to maximize the compute efficiency and performance of growing AI infrastructure, while reducing costs, latency and power consumption. Based on open standards and optimized for both AI training and inference, Ayar Labs’ optical I/O solution is backed by a robust ecosystem that enables it to integrate smoothly into AI systems at scale.

We’re compliance experts, so you don’t have to be. Through easy software and hands-on services, we embed in your process to prepare you to pass any audit, every year, with flying colors. Thoropass makes it as easy to do the right thing as it is to check a box—because we want to build a world where compliance is never a barrier to progress. (p.s. We’re hiring!)

Debt as a service for fintechs, neobanks and gig platforms to lend money to their users at scale.

Niron Magnetics is reshaping American manufacturing. We saw the problems caused by rare earth dependence and took a fundamentally different approach, reconceptualizing how magnets can be made. Our groundbreaking Iron Nitride technology was born at the University of Minnesota, then developed and manufactured right here in Minnesota. The result is a more secure and sustainable supply chain, and a material that unlocks innovation in magnet-using devices. With facilities clean enough to sit in the heart of cities, and our world-class team of experts, we are creating the future of magnetics.
