Plotdrive

Plotdrive is the first continuous production system for narrative — infrastructure that transforms how long-form stories move from imagination to completion. Most books don’t fail for lack of talent; they fail when the workflow collapses somewhere between page 80 and page 300. Founded by brothers with backgrounds in high-stakes poker, VR, and narrative systems, we built what we couldn’t find: an engine that holds the entire shape of a story while authors work inside it.

Robust infrastructure creates a happier, more productive, and more prosperous society.

We've redesigned MRI from the ground up with new physics, algorithms, and hardware, all to bring cancer screening to the entire world. Our mobile MRI is an imaging clinic on wheels. No equipment to buy, no infrastructure needed. For a flat

Playgent

When enterprise agents fail in production, the conditions that caused the failure are critical: user state, data, tool calls, and context. Without a way to recreate these conditions, teams can't fix what broke. Playgent provides infrastructure to create high-fidelity sandbox environments for AI agents. Our environments come packaged as a single MCP url where tool calls are mocked, authentication is abstracted away, and test data can be initialized via natural language or JSON specifications. Tea

Hotel websites don't convert (<0.5% vs. 5-10% in modern ecommerce), booking engines
