General Compute is building the worlds fastest AI cloud. AI agents, coding tools, and voice assistants all share one constraint: token generation speed. The infrastructure serving them today was built for training, not inference. Were fixing that. General Compute is the first ASIC-first AI neocloud, purpose-built for high-speed inference. Our platform delivers 5-7x faster token generation than GPU-based clouds, serving the latency-sensitive workloads that are growing fastest: coding agents, voice AI, and autonomous systems.

Cowboy Space Corporation is building a power grid in outer space for artificial intelligence. Using an integrated system of satellites and rockets, we will send high-performance compute and optical data transmission to Low Earth Orbit. Our constellation of satellites, Stampede, will harness abundant solar power to run on-orbit GPU data centers. With each launch, Stampede grows the power and compute capacity for humanity. Earths energy grid cant run at the pace of AI. We can. AI is driving the largest infrastructure buildout in recent history, and the power grid on planet Earth cant keep pace. In major US markets, average grid connection lead times for new data centers can run 5-7 years or more. Meanwhile, AI demand is flat-out outgrowing Earths pastures. Full-Stack Architecture: Traditional architecture treats the rocket as a workhorse and the satellite as freight. In our system, the rockets upper stage is the satellite itself. Its a 1-megawatt data center with active thermal management and integrated compute, designed as one unified vehicle from the ground up. We trim the fat on redundant structure and avionics, dedicating every possible kilogram of compute to Low Earth Orbit. By owning our manufacturing and dedicated launch sites, we vertically integrate core technologies that enable deploying compute at scale. We’ve raised a $275M Series B at a $2B valuation led by Index Ventures, with participation from new investors IVP, Blossom Capital, and SAIC, alongside existing investors Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, Interlagos and Baiju Bhatt.

Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery. Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines dont simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples. Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore havent changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. Weve brought together a mission-driven team of builders, scientists, and engineers reinventing how humanity finds the minerals it needs to survive. Coming onboard means taking on some of the hardest challenges of your life. Join a tight, no‑nonsense team where you’ll attack real engineering problems, ship hardware to the field, and help secure the resources our future depends on. Learn more at learn.durin.com

ENABLING NEUROTECHNOLOGY Paradromics’ Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) platform records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. Our AI algorithms decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. THE MISSION Data-driven BCI-based technologies for brain health Our technology will help millions with unmet medical needs suffering from paralysis and movement disorders to chronic pain, addiction, depression and other mental health conditions. ABOUT Matt Angle Ph.D. (CEO) founded Paradromics to build a high-data-rate BCI platform capable of addressing critical unmet clinical needs. With early funding from the NIH and DARPA, the company developed its core neurotechnology and, by 2019, shifted focus to its first product: the Connexus® BCI.   Connexus is designed to restore communication through text, synthesized speech, and computer control for people with severe motor impairments, including those caused by ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury. Backed by two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations and a successful first-in-human recording in May 2025, Paradromics is now preparing to launch a clinical trial in late 2025 to evaluate the long-term safety and participant benefits of their first product, the Connexus BCI.
