|---|---|---|---|
| Enact Intelligence builds underlying technology for general-purpose robots, reimagining the entire robotic stack from the ground up to solve the ultimate bottleneck in robotics: dexterity. Rather than relying primarily on vision models, Enact builds proprietary actuators that measure force directly inside the joints. This creates a human-like "nervous system" and muscle feedback loop, allowing robots to efficiently learn and robustly execute highly precise, contact-rich physical tasks across industrial, retail, and manufacturing environments. | $30M / Pre-Seed / Oct 22, 2026 | ||
| ZML develops a production inference stack that decouples artificial intelligence workloads from specific proprietary hardware targets. The platform compiles open-source machine learning models directly into optimized code for multiple chip types without using traditional Python runtimes. | $20M / Seed / Jul 08, 2026 | ||
| Primepoint is an AI construction intelligence platform that automates drawing navigation, submittal review, and constructability analysis. It helps AEC teams reduce rework, improve collaboration, and accelerate project workflows. | $10M / Seed / Apr 13, 2026 | ||
| Gradium.ai provides audio language models that enable natural, expressive, ultra-low latency voice interactions at scale, unifying speech generation, transcription, voice transformation, and dialogue in a single neural architecture.The platform acts as an audio-native counterpart to text-based large language models, processing tasks like real-timespeech-to-speech with delays under 200 milliseconds through optimized architectures, efficient tokenization, and hardware-aware deployments. It supports multilingual capabilities in English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, with plans for expansion. | $70M / Seed / Dec 02, 2025 | ||
