Tala prevents client-side attacks like Magecart, XSS, code injections and session re-directs. Our innovative solution is designed to secure customer data and ensure data privacy, without degrading site performance or top-line revenue. Tala's technology automates policy generation, deployment and maintenance of powerful web standards, including CSP, SRI, Feature Policy, Referrer Policy, HSTS and others. Tala also leverages JavaScript virtualization synthetically to prevent unauthorized data access or leakage. This innovative combination of capabilities ensures attacks are prevented in real-time, data privacy and integrity is assured and the need for costly and continuous administration or incident response is minimized. Tala is led by industry veterans and successful entrepreneurs. We are backed by an impressive collection of well-known tech investors, angels, former executives at Symantec and by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our technology has garnered multiple awards including being named a Gartner Cool Vendor and an RSA Innovation Sandbox Finalist.

Arrcus is a leading provider of high-performance routing and switching solutions, enabling organizations to achieve superior scalability and reliability. Its ACE platform, powered by the ArcOS network operating system, offers an agile alternative to traditional monolithic systems for datacenter, core, and edge environments. To meet the distinct demands of AI, Arrcus delivers specialized ethernet fabrics. For training, its scale-out and scale-across solutions handle massive data synchronization and high-bandwidth requirements. For inferencing, the company recently launched the Arrcus Inference Network Fabric (AINF), a policy-driven approach spanning edge, datacenter, and cloud. By reducing token latency and improving throughput, AINF lowers the cost per token and enables sovereign AI, helping global enterprises modernize connectivity for the AI-driven era.

ResolutionTube is a patent pending mobile augmented reality platform that is revolutionizing product service. We currently empower technicians to fix machines at a fraction of the current cost and time by providing access to information at their finger-tips and enabling interactive real-time collaboration with video and augmented reality. ResolutionTube automatically captures the solution to create a multi-media dynamic knowledge base which can be used for future troubleshooting, training and more. Ultimately we envision completely reinventing the broken and outdated product customer service experience, but for now we are laser focused on Field Service. We believe Google Glass will reshape the field service industry altogether and are poised to lead this movement, having built our first Glass app. ResolutionTube is backed by Madrona Venture Group, Techstars, Owen Van Natta (former COO of Facebook), Rudy Gadre (former Amazon and Facebook exec), Vijay Vashee (early employee turned exec at Microsoft) a number of other successful entrepreneurs and some senior level White House policy makers. ResolutionTube has been covered in TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Gigaom, GeekWire and Kauffman ID8 Magazine.
