Silicon Valley-based hardware startup specializing in hypersonics. We want to lower the cost of hypersonic development in the short term and drop zeros off the cost of space launch in the long term.

Thermopylae is solving the most critical cost asymmetry problem in air defense. We pioneer novel, low-cost primitives and engineer our architectures around them to deliver affordable solutions with dramatically greater capability per dollar than any existing systems today - protecting the future of interplanetary civilization.

Light Links, Inc. is transforming wireless communication with Wi-OW, its proprietary optical solution seamlessly integrated into Wi-Fi. Wi-OW provides license-free, gigabit-speed, ultra-low-latency, non-line-of-sight wireless communication through scattered laser beams, enhancing Wi-Fi performance for bandwidth-hungry or security-sensitive applications when it hits its limits.

Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. We’re launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence. We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world’s most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they’re needed most.

With decades of experience in photonics design, our executive and engineering teams are delivering the world’s first open silicon photonics platform with integrated lasers. You can improve the performance, power efficiency, and reliability of your design using the OpenLight platform for datacom, telecom, LiDAR, healthcare, HPC, AI, and optical computing applications. With over 400 patents and technology adoption by companies across industries, we’re bringing optical solutions to places they’ve never been before, and we’re enabling technologies that weren’t previously possible.

Civ Robotics is ushering in the next generation of construction layout tools for solar, civil engineering, land surveying, road striping, and general contracting industries worldwide. Civ Robotics’ cutting-edge, all-terrain surveying layout robots are engineered from the ground up to make your layouts more precise, easy, and cost-effective than ever before.

Auriga Space is developing a suite of linear electromagnetic accelerators to provide commercial and defense customers with cost-effective, high-cadence on-demand space launches alongside realistic hypersonic tests. Aurigas systems use electricity for acceleration, thereby drastically reducing costs and achieving full system reusability.

Eridu is the pioneer advancing the frontier in AI networking, breaking through the network wall with a solution built from the ground up for scale-out and scale-up networks in AI data centers. Eridu’s network switch delivers the order-of-magnitude advance in performance, radix and throughput needed to maximize utilization, throughput and efficiency in AI clusters and data centers. Founded by a team of accomplished technology and business innovators and backed by leading investors with over $200M in funding to date, Eridu is solving the network bottlenecks throttling AI.
