Akash Systems, Inc. is a venture-backed, late-stage, Bay Area company that makes and sells Diamond Cooled GPU-based servers to AI companies, Cloud Service Providers, and data centers worldwide. The deep tech company pioneered Diamond Cooling® technology wherein the world’s most thermally conductive material, lab-grown diamond, is brought into intimate contact with GPUs – the densest heat source chip in a modern high compute server. The resulting Akash server is one that exhibits more compute in FLOPS (>50%) and FLOPS per Watt (by 2x) than any other server in the market today. Akash’s Diamond Cooled servers also reduce the energy cost of cooling the entire data center since the servers can operate in an ambient temperature of up to 120oF. The company’s lead investors include Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund. Akash Systems recently deployed its Diamond Cooling® technology in space, where many Akash satellite radios are now in operation.

Slingshot Aerospace provides satellite tracking, space traffic coordination, and space modeling and simulation solutions to government and commercial customers around the world. Using mission-critical data, insights, and applications powered by the Slingshot Platform, space operators improve spaceflight safety and optimize their orbital operations. Slingshot’s platform combines data from the Slingshot Global Sensor Network, the Slingshot Seradata satellite and launch database, satellite owner-operators, and other third-party space data providers, to create the most up-to-date representation of space on the market today. This common operating picture of space activities, past, present, and predicted, empowers the world’s leading space operators to better understand what is happening in space and plan their operations. Slingshot is driven by its mission to make space more safe, sustainable, and secure for all. The company was launched in 2017 and has locations in California, Colorado, and the UK.

For the first time ever, manufacturers will have the materials required to build durable, functional designs. Chromatic 3D Materials is inventing the next generation of 3D printing materials with the durability to meet the requirements for finished manufactured goods. Today, our reality includes infinite possibilities for novel product designs, made possible by our customizable property range. The scope of destinations for these technologies is vast. Chromatic 3D Materials is developing the technology to print with thermosets, a broad class of materials including polyurethanes, silicones and epoxies. The adaptability, durability and resilience of these materials are unmatched by the thermoplastics used in conventional 3D printing processes. Thermoset chemistry is a rare art and few people in the world know how to adapt the materials to meet the needs of 3D printing processes; Cora Leibig, PhD is one of them. She and her team of scientists are conquering the weighty barriers of the 3D printing industry to create the durable materials so sorely needed today. A well-tenured history with some of our nation’s leading innovative organizations uniquely positions Chromatic to lead game-changing disruption in the 3D printing industry.

Inversion is developing low-cost, high cadence re-entry vehicles. Returning cargo & resources will be essential for humanity to continue to grow within low-earth orbit and beyond. We believe in a future where returning from space is as common as launching to space. Join us: https://boards.greenhouse.io/inversionspace
