| Prophesee is the inventor of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems.Prophesee’s patented sensors and AI algorithms, introduce a new computer vision paradigm based on how the human eye and brain work. Like the human vision, it sees events: essential, motion information in the scene, not a succession of images.This Metavision®method allows for unprecedented speed (>10 000fps time resolution equivalent), dynamic range (>120dB), data volume (10x to 1000x less) and power efficiency (<10 mW). Prophesee bio-inspired revolution opens a new path to absolute efficiency and safety in autonomous driving, Mobile, IoT and Industry 4.0.Prophesee was founded within iBionext Start-up Studio (Paris) in 2014 by Ryad Benosman, Bernard Gilly, Christoph Posch and Luca Verre. The quartet brings a strong combination of experience in image sensing, neuromorphic computing, VLSI design, entrepreneurship and business development.

| Balyo designs, develops and markets totally innovative handling robots. Thanks to its navigation technology, unique inside buildings, Balyo transforms standard forklift trucks into standalone intelligent robots, capable of working alongside human operators.The technological breakthrough introduced by Balyo has permitted fleets of robots tonavigate in warehouses or in factories without any additional infrastructures. In contrast to traditional automated trucks, inflexible and costly, the Balyo model does not require lines on the floor or reflectors to guide it.In 2015, Balyo, a company of 60 employees, signed a partnership agreement with the European leader in material handling, Fenwick / Linde, for the common commercialisation of a unique range of intelligent robots. Building on this success, Balyo signed in 2016 a second partnership with the American specialist in material handling Yale / Hyster with an aim to growth increase in the Americas.In line with the concepts of 4.0 Warehouse and factories of the future, Balyo offers industry and logisticians increased competitiveness in their goods handling operations. | $10.7M / Series A / Mar 31, 2015 | ||
| EnerBee is an industrial start-up developing energy harvesters, which, thanks to motion, replace batteries in consumer and industrial smart devices.All of us are making extensive use of devices – like watches, remote controls, connected objects at home or with us, etc. – which requires batteries or plugs to be charged. More than 30 billion coincell batteries are sold every year throughout the world. EnerBee is industrializing a multi-patented motion-based generator, which replaces these batteries or cables to power wireless connected objects thanks to the motion. | $2.6M / Venture - Series Unknown / Mar 13, 2015 | ||
| Fotokite is a team of autonomous vehicle and aerial robotics experts set out with a mission to help first responders save lives and preserve property. Our patented technology enables us to provide solutions that get installed in the top of fire trucks and public safety vehicles, so that when a firefighter shows up to their scene, they push a singlebutton, and their Fotokite system opens up, deploys itself, and flies up to 45 meters in height to provide the first responders with mission-critical information about their scene. From up there, we provide both thermal and regular video down to the ground to give teams visibility and elevated intelligence over their scene.The information delivered helps them size up and assess their incidents quickly and without drawing additional team resources like normal drones. We actively use a tether to provide power up the line and data down the line to deliver a fully autonomous, situational awareness system with 24-hour-plus flight times. The real benefit to the user is the fact that they gain this information without ever piloting the system- it’s as simple as it gets. They simply push “launch” on a tablet, set their altitude and camera angle, and the system takes care of the rest. Once up in the air, the system is also set up to live stream that aerial information to other teams on the same site, or back at the fire station to provide more eyes on the scene than were possible before. They use this information to gain perspective and context of their incident, and then deploy their resources in a more data-informed way. | $1M / Seed / Feb 01, 2015 | ||

| Neurala is the company behind The Neurala Brain—deep learning neural network software that makes smart products like cameras, robots, drones, toys and self-driving cars more autonomous and useful.Unlike traditional AI companies, which designed for super computers connected to the Internet, our first project was for NASA to be used for autonomousplanetary exploration. Super computers were not available. Battery life was limited. Fast internet access was impossible. Our deep learning neural networks had to be lightweight and perform in real-time without ground intervention.With our constraints, we modeled the Neurala Brain on animal brains because animal brains are highly efficient “computers” that do more in less space and with less power consumption than the computers we use today. The brain also knows how to use eyes (cameras) and ears (microphones). This approach worked and we are now bringing The Neurala Brain to market. Our smart, fast, anywhere brain works on systems from single board computers to large servers. | $750K / Seed / Dec 10, 2014 |
