Boost Robotics

Boost Robotics is building autonomous mobile manipulation robots to remotely perform manual tasks in data centers. The surge in AI applications is pushing data centers to scale faster than they can manage, leading to suboptimal operations and staffing shortages amid rising power and compute demands. We save data centers millions in insurance premiums and SLA violations by increasing the frequency of inspection and maintenance while reducing the time it takes to triage and address failures.

Bear Flag Robotics

match 49

Bear Flag Robotics is developing autonomous driving technology for farm tractors. By equipping tractors and implements with technology, Bear Flag allows growers to automate and optimize many of their most common tasks. This addresses the farm labor shortage while removing workers from hazardous conditions. Additionally, Bear Flag provides growers with analytics that help them garner actionable insights about their crops and operations.

Kinro

match 46

We are building the first autonomous insurance brokerage. We hit $1M in annual revenue building insurance workflows for brokers. Then we realized the bigger opportunity was replacing them. In the US, there are 36 million SMBs, and 77% are underinsured because distribution is broken. Brokers can’t serve low-premium SMBs profitably: a $2K policy takes almost as much work as a $20K one. Kinro changes that. Our AI agents handle the full broker workflow 24/7, from finding prospects to binding policie

Starcloud

match 44

Starcloud is building data centers in space, initially to provide GPU compute to other satellites, and later to address the rapidly growing demand for energy caused by the deployment of AI. Falling launch costs give Starcloud access to abundant energy, radiative cooling, and the ability to rapidly scale in space. In November 2025, just 21 months after founding, Starcloud launched its first satellite, Starcloud-1 to space. This has an Nvidia H100, which is 100x more powerful GPU than has ever bee
