Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.
Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies.
Powering this growth is Turing’s talent cloud—an AI-vetted pool of 4M+ software engineers, data scientists, and STEM experts who can train models and build AI applications. All of this is orchestrated by ALAN—our AI-powered platform for matching and managing talent, and generating high-quality human and synthetic data to improve model performance. ALAN also accelerates workflows for model and agent evals, supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, reinforcement learning with human feedback, preference-pair generation, benchmarking, data capture for pre-training, post-training, and building AI applications.
Turing—based in San Francisco, California—was named #1 on The Information’s annual list of “Top 50 Most Promising B2B Companies,” and has been profiled by Fast Company, TechCrunch, Reuters, Semafor, VentureBeat, Entrepreneur, CNBC, Forbes, and many others.

Rippling is a workforce management system that eliminates the friction from running a business. Today, most companies struggle with everything from routine tasks, like running payroll, to cross-functional planning, like aligning on headcount.

Rippling has every application you need to run your business—from applicant tracking and payroll to IT and expenses—in one place. But unlike other systems, Rippling sits on top of a unified platform. Data flows dynamically between Rippling’s applications, giving every team a shared source of truth, the power to automate processes, and access to the insights they need. This allows your business to execute better, faster.

DFINITY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to support and develop the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain — a revolutionary network that remains completely unique in the world today, which acts as a cloud and alternative tech stack, where anything from social media to enterprise services can be constructed from highly secure and resilient smart contract code, and benefit from fully onchain hosting.
In a further inventive step, the network has been developed to support the "self-writing internet" vision, in which our future tech stack is an AI-first infrastructure, where non-technical users can build and manage sophisticated online apps and services simply by engaging in natural language conversations with AI. We believe that the self-writing apps paradigm will win big, and that many apps will run on the self-writing internet, on the Internet Computer, where special technology magnifies the ability of AI to build and greatly increases safety.
We invite those interested in the self-writing internet vision to try caffeine.ai. We invite those wishing to experience writing Internet Computer code and creating apps in the browser to try icp.ninja.
Since 2017, DFINITY has run the largest R&D operation in the blockchain industry, employing world-famous scientists, and channeling its funds towards the development of game-changing technological utility, rather than narratives and marketing.

Avail Medsystems is a pioneering medical technology company that provides simple cost-effective solutions that connect procedural healthcare professionals regardless of location. We accomplish this by separating the requirement of physical presence from the ability to collaborate during a procedure.
In-person collaboration is costly, requires complex logistics to coordinate, and crowds medical procedure rooms limiting the ability of healthcare professionals to support procedures wherever, and whenever, is needed. From an education standpoint, this can add months or even years to the time required to train all providers on the latest medical device technologies.
Avail aims to democratize access to clinical and procedural expertise by removing physical, economic, and logistical barriers. Our Procedural TelemedicineTM solution addresses these challenges by enabling on-the-go collaboration with any remote healthcare professional.
Remote users have the ability to access views from multiple high-definition pan-tilt-zoom cameras and external imaging equipment, split the screens to view inputs side by side, annotate, freeze frames, and more. Our portable, fully integrated, Avail Consoles allow the treating physician and other local healthcare professionals to see everything the remote user displays in real-time. This capability underpins a fully interactive collaborative experience for both the remote user and the treating physician.

Chime was created because we believe everyone can unlock financial progress, and we want to develop solutions and services to empower people to succeed. The premise upon which we started Chime is simple: basic banking services should be helpful, transparent, and easy. Our easy-to-use tools and intuitive platforms give members the ability to have more control over their money and to take action toward achieving their financial ambitions.
By designing a member-centric banking app with easy-to-understand financial tools, we’re creating a more competitive market with options for everyday Americans. We offer access to accounts with no overdraft fees, provide members the chance to receive their pay up to 2 days early* with direct deposit, help them build credit history, and build financial literacy to hit their goals—among many other things.
Since 2012, we’ve grown our team to more than 1300 Chimers across 3 offices. But more than that, we’ve expanded the products and services we offer to our members based on member feedback. And in doing so, we’ve disrupted the banking industry and changed the conversation for everyday people about money on a national level.
Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC.
*Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.
