MorphoAI

We're building an AI powered platform for engineers that are building new robots and machines. We allow users to invent and modify machine designs in a matter of minutes, not years. Ayna and Andy, the co-founders, met during their time at Harvard and started this in 2024 as their programs were wrapping up. We're commercializing 10+ years research done by our team at Harvard and MIT on this space. Our team wrote the very first papers on applying GenAI and optimization algorithms to compose robots

High Signal interpretation

MorphoAI 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.

Similarity graph

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.

Trident Bioscience

match 64

Trident Bioscience builds tools to expedite the discovery and optimization of useful proteins. Our technology first applies predictive models of protein structure and function to generate sets of potentially active protein sequences. We then apply our state-of-the-art sequence optimization algorithm to design gene libraries capable of testing these candidates extremely quickly and affordably. By combining these technologies, we're closing the design-build-test loop of protein optimization and cu

BeGo

match 60

In Mexico and US trucking demand outpaces capacity, yet 40% of the time trucks roll empty. BeGo uses Machine Learning to reduce empty returns, deadheads, and carbon emissions. BeGo is co-founded by two brothers, Jasiel, with 10+ years of experience in the industry, and Ivan, ex-Tesla engineer with experience in product design and machine learning.

We’re automating robot evaluation– the loop where you wait for your robot to roll out, judge its success, and then reset the scene. We're starting with step one: a success detector that automatically tells you whether your robot actually completed its task along with detailed subtask breakdown. We're MIT computer scientists & friends since middle school, with backgrounds at NASA JPL, SpaceX, and AWS. Book a demo with founders@instancelabs.ai.

Clearly AI

match 52

Clearly AI automates security and privacy reviews with AI. We performed hundreds of reviews at Amazon and Moveworks and now we're building the product we wish we had. Our users complete reviews in minutes instead of days. Emily and Joe are technical co-founders and senior engineers. We met in 2019 while working on an Alexa security review.

Ontra Mobility

match 51

Ontra Mobility is founded by two former Googler engineers with PhDs in operations research. Ontra helps cities and other transit agencies increase ridership through data-driven planning and real-time optimization. The founders developed the software that powered MARTA Reach in Atlanta, GA and CAT SMART in Savannah, GA.
