Parasail is the first AI Deployment Network built for the new era of open and scalable AI. We connect teams to the world’s largest pool of on-demand GPU compute—giving AI builders fast, flexible, and cost-efficient infrastructure to deploy and scale models without contracts, quotas, or cloud complexity. From real-time inference to massive batch jobs, Parasail intelligently matches workloads across a global GPU network, optimizing for performance, price, and geography. No DevOps burden, no vendor lock-in—just plug-and-play access to high-performance infrastructure that works with the latest open-source models and evolving AI stacks. Companies like Weights & Biases, Elicit, Rasa, Everpilot, and Oumi are already building faster and saving up to 30x on costs with Parasail. The future of AI deployment isn’t a single cloud. It’s a global compute network. Parasail is making that future a reality. 🔗 www.parasail.io

Quantum computing will be a world-changing technology with the potential to unlock powerful advances in medicine, energy, finance and beyond. At PsiQuantum, we’re focused on building the world’s first useful quantum computer. A useful quantum computer requires at least 1,000,000 qubits and error correction. We believe photonics is the only path to building a useful quantum computer. Our team at PsiQuantum is a mix of quantum physicists, semiconductor, systems, and software engineers, system architects and more. Error correction is at the centre of everything we do; and we focus on solving real-world problems. If you’re interested in joining our team, we are always open to hearing from exceptional people interested in working on one of the defining technologies of our lifetime.

We believe that the human mind is capable of producing transformative insights that can change a company’s fortunes. Agolo summarizes information faster and with broader coverage than any human. Agolo helps analysts act strategically instead of processing information.

At FluroSat, we analyse remote sensing data (aerial and/or satellite imagery). We build supercharged agronomic tools to quantify the crop stress and answer the "why?"​ rather than "where?"​. Our platform allows agronomists to access satellite/plane or upload drone data, and provides them with the information on the stress levels and nutrient content distribution around the paddock (e.g., crop health maps, N/ chlorophyll levels maps) calculated using our advanced modeling and processing tools. We go into in-depth analysis, extending beyond NDVI into the identification of individual crop stressors. What is different about FluroSat is we build reliable correlations combining multiple sources of hyperspectral/ multispectral imagery (drone, satellite) incorporating the on-farm data (IOT, ground-based sensors) and tailor analytics on a per-paddock level for each of the crop types separately. We are always open to partnership in agronomy and research. Get in touch with us!

Cerebri AI solves problems – we solve your problems by using state-of-the-art data engineering and AI modeling to provide you with insights that will help you crush your competitors. Better decisions start with better data that drive deeper insights into your business. We use our ATQ data engineering platform to provide our reporting and modeling engines with the highest quality data possible. What data quality level do we have to get to? Certainly, a higher quality level than what everyone else uses – especially your competitors! And we do it in near real-time. What is the use of having better data to work with in making decisions if it arrives after it is needed? Our data engineering platform does not simply pass the data along; we have dozens of data transformers that can be deployed to QA and reconcile data from as many datasets as are required to get the job done. The goal of our data engineering is to get to one source of truth that includes the engineered features selected by our data scientists that drive the best possible results. Our one source of truth drives all of our reporting, business intelligence modeling, and our AI modeling. No more second guessing if the data matches up one report to another, including AI-based metrics. High-quality data drives the very best results when coupled with a wealth of data science experience. Our team has done over 100 installations in the largest corporate users in the world over the past two decades. We love solving the most complex analytical problems. We love corporate travel because most of the corporate travel datasets in this $1 trillion spend category reside outside of the enterprise, thus requiring serious levels of data engineering to make them useful. We love sustainability problems, including the challenges of calculating CO2 emissions. If you think we can help, please contact us; we would love to hear from you.
