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.

| Enerbee | 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.

EnerBee is industrializing a multi-patented motion-based generator, which replaces these batteries or cables to power wireless connected objects thanks to the motion. | $2.7M |  | Mar 13, 2015 |  |
| Neurala | 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 |  |
