Scout AI is a frontier AI lab for U.S. defense. It was founded in 2024 by Colby Adcock and Collin Otis with a mission to deploy mission-ready AI agents across unmanned systems for the Department of War and its allies. Its Fury foundation model transforms uncrewed ground, air, sea, and space platforms and payloads into intelligent, collaborative teammates that multiply warfighter effectiveness. Scout AI is based in Sunnyvale, CA and is backed by leading institutional investors including Booz Allen Ventures, Align Ventures, Draper Associates, and Perot Jain.

At Haply Robotics, we strive to build amazing things. We are a team devoted to the vision of a future where the lines are blurred between the physical and virtual world. We are a group of people that live to create new technologies with a lasting impact. We share a collective dedication to our work, not as an obligation, but as an opportunity. If you feel this way, you are amongst friends. Our team of engineers and developers at Haply have product design and development in their DNA. We are a group of passionate makers with academic backgrounds in the areas of simulation, robotics, electronics, game dev, and mechanical design. Our specialty lies in the development of emerging technologies, taking things from concept to product through lightning-fast design iterations using state-of-the-art rapid manufacturing principles. We engineer products grounded in solid physics and engineering principles, with quality at their core. We are building the next generation of touch enabled interfaces in collaboration with leading gaming companies and research organizations from around the world. These physical consoles will combine force-feedback technologies with submillimeter precision wireless tracking in large environments and VR/AR displays. Our goal is to forever shape the way we interact with our technology by facilitating the sense of touch to be a part of digital interactions. We envision a world where medical specialists from around the globe can access and train their physical skills with online learning material from leading institutions. In this world, students in a classroom setting will go on virtual reality field trips where they will brush away the dirt and pick through the rock to uncover virtual dinosaur bones. We will shape the way people learn, train, and entertain themselves from those at the peak of their careers to those at the very start.

Permute is a venture backed startup that helps tech and operations leaders solve their data problems faster. If you dont have visibility across your companys data, want AI and analytics you can trust, or are afraid your company is leaving money on the table, lets talk!

We automate patent infringement detection. Our software interprets patents, identifies competing products, and generates claim charts showing who’s infringing and how. We also run AI invalidity and prior-art searches to help your patents hold up in court. Companies spend up to $50k to file and maintain a single patent over its lifetime, but once its granted, they let it collect dust. With Patent Watch, you can start turning your patent portfolio into revenue in 10 minutes. Teams use us to: - Find licensing and litigation targets - Send cease-and-desist letters - Find counter litigation - Sell IP in wind-downs - Accelerate M&A diligence

The first venture fund built around an 80-year-old talent filter that venture capital has never priced. Theres a massive attribution gap in venture: the market credits the accelerator or the university, but the best deep tech founders were already identified — at 16 — through elite science competitions. This cohort has produced 29 unicorns worth over $750B in enterprise value — including household names in AI, biotech, fintech, and robotics. Across hundreds of companies: 15% unicorn rate (3.2× YC), 65% Series A graduation, ~10% loss rate vs. 30–40% industry typical. Science Fair Fund invests exclusively in this cohort at the pre-seed. The edge is proprietary: a database of 50,000+ alumni profiles, an ML scoring model validated across two decades of outcomes, and real-time monitoring that surfaces founders before they raise — often before they realize theyre starting a company. Over 2,200 alumni have opted in to source deals, co-invest, and open doors. The pipeline renews every year: ~2,000 new ISEF finalists and STS scholars from 175,000 participants. Everyone else is buying in free agency. This is the farm system. Pre-seed revenge of the nerds investing powered by the worlds oldest talent filter. https://sciencefairfund.com
