| Urban Sky is developing the first-ever reusable 'micro-sat' version of a near-space balloon, armed with sensors that collect high-value Earth observation data over entire cities, serving a multi-billion dollar imagery market and making daily and weekly aerial imagery collection a cost-effective reality. Leveraging advances in componentminiaturization, first-of-its-kind balloon reusability, and the high vantage point of the stratosphere, the Microballoon drastically reduces the cost of high-resolution remote sensing and weather-related data capture over broad areas, leading to more impactful data over more areas than ever before.With a new wealth of data from the stratosphere - this completely untapped layer of Earth’s atmosphere - we can fundamentally change the collective human understanding of the surface of our planet and urban centers. | $30M / Series B / Feb 06, 2025 | ||
| Butlr is an AI people-sensing platform using body heat to detect occupancy, headcount, body posture, and activity, and generate accurate, real-time, and historical spatial insights for healthcare and sustainable buildings. Their sensor technology detects human presence anonymously using low-resolution thermal data and advanced AI and machinelearning. | $38M / Series B / Aug 26, 2024 | ||
| SirenOpt is accelerating sustainable and smart manufacturing of advanced materials using intelligent characterization and real-time decision-making to drive the creation of innovative, high-performance products that fuel the advancement of society. SirenOpt was founded in 2022 as a spin-out from the UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Department.SirenOpt is pioneering a paradigm shift in advanced materials characterization by leveraging cold atmospheric plasma, machine learning and predictive analytics to non-destructively create a uniquely distinctive, multifaceted material fingerprint in real-time.
