Ionworks
Every battery company spends tens of millions of dollars a year on experiments. Simulations that replace experiments reduce these costs but are currently underutilized in industry because they are hard to create and run. We make simulations accessible to every engineer, by helping them to create models from their own data, then run large scale simulations in the cloud to explore the full design space.

sourceIonworks is classified as AI infrastructure from source descriptions and fund-directory context. Similar companies below are ranked from offline product facets and meaningful description overlap; category and source affiliation can only strengthen an existing product match. For lookup-created rows, the profile starts as pending enrichment until deeper source collection runs.
Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Navier AI
match 82Navier AI is building the first Agent-Driven Engineering platform. We believe engineers should focus on designing great products, not wrestling with simulation software. Navier AI makes it simple to run CFD simulations at scale through our web-based platform built on OpenFOAM, the industry-standard solver for CFD. Our AI agents autonomously handle the complex, time-consuming steps of simulation—from geometry cleanup and meshing to solver configuration and cloud resource management. By automating

Milky Way AI
match 68We help CPG brands to understand how their products are being displayed, priced and what are their competitors are doing across millions of physical stores in real time with our computer vision powered mobile app. Each year these brands spend $500 bn annually buying prime retail shelf space to influence customer purchasing decisions, but they have no easy way to audit it. Our mobile app reduces the time of these audits by 10x and cost by 3x.

Nuvola
match 66At Nuvola, we're commercializing SafeCoat, a spray-on separator that is directly deposited onto electrodes, removing the need for conventional separator films and the massive infrastructure to build them. SafeCoat has been piloted with top-tier battery and automotive manufacturers and is ready for commercial deployment. Industry leaders are drawn to its impact: it reduces fire risk by 99%, cuts manufacturing scrap by 70%, and saves $350M per 40GWh factory. Our capital-light model requires just $

Voltair
match 62Voltair is building the world's first globally distributed network of autonomous drones for Earth observation. Power utilities are the perfect first customer. Aging infrastructure and extreme weather drive the need for millimeter-scale inspection data on the power grid. Utilities spend tens of billions of dollars every year just looking at their own equipment. Autonomous drone fleets will enable utilities to inspect 7 million miles of infrastructure more frequently, quickly, and accurately. Our
