Affirm

In 2005, our founder Amy Porter recognized a critical gap in the professional services market: lawyers, accountants, and association leaders were struggling with outdated payment systems that couldn't meet their unique compliance and operational needs. She founded AffiniPay with a clear mission - to deliver secure, efficient payment solutions specifically designed for professionals. What started as a focused payment processor has evolved into something far greater. Today, AffiniPay operates as 8am, a comprehensive professional business platform that serves over 260,000 professionals across legal, accounting, and association sectors, trusted by more than 175 bar and professional associations. Over two decades, we've transformed from a payment processing company into a complete ecosystem that empowers professionals to run stronger, more profitable businesses. Our portfolio of solutions - including LawPay, MyCase, CasePeer, DocketWise, CPACharge, and ClientPay - integrates payments with practice management, case management, compliance tools, and client communication platforms. Recognized as one of Inc 5000's fastest-growing companies for 13 consecutive years, we continue to innovate because we believe that when professionals have the right tools, they can focus on what truly matters: their clients, their calling, and their impact. The future is bright at 8am, and we're just getting started.

Complex manufacturers face a daunting reality: their supply chains span thousands of suppliers across dozens of countries, yet regulators and customers demand complete transparency into every component, material, and environmental impact. This creates an existential challenge where managing compliance, sustainability reporting, and supply chain risk becomes a manual, error-prone nightmare that can cost millions in fines, blocked market access, and reputational damage. Assent exists to solve this problem by providing an AI-native platform that automates supply chain data management, giving manufacturers the visibility and control they need to build products that are deeply and durably good. As a certified B Corporation founded in 2010, Assent combines powerful software with expert services and the industry's largest supply chain data network to help companies navigate the complex landscape of product compliance, ESG reporting, and trade regulations. The platform supports 100+ compliance and sustainability topics, enabling manufacturers in sectors like medical devices, aerospace, electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment to reduce risk, lower operational costs, and build trust across their value chains. By unifying platform technology, human expertise, and supplier intelligence, Assent empowers over 1,000 companies to meet evolving regulatory requirements and customer expectations with confidence - turning supply chain sustainability from a burden into a competitive advantage.

We're building a connected operating system that's making autonomous robots work together seamlessly. Our team has been leading the open-source movement for over a decade, creating AuterionOS as the foundation for everything from delivery drones to defense systems. We believe in open standards and interoperability - our platform lets you control diverse fleets of vehicles from multiple manufacturers through a single, unified interface. Most of us came from the open-source PX4 and Pixhawk projects, so we know firsthand how painful proprietary, closed systems can be. We're building the software we wish existed when we started - platform that enables network-centric operations where teams of autonomous vehicles can coordinate and accomplish missions that would be impossible for isolated systems working alone. From enterprise drone operators to government defense programs, our technology is helping organizations rethink what's possible with autonomous systems.

At aedifion, we combine deep technical expertise with a passion for sustainability to transform how buildings operate. Our cloud-based platform leverages artificial intelligence and real-time data to optimize building operations, reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 40% without requiring expensive structural investments. spun out of RWTH Aachen University in 2017, we've grown from a research-driven startup to a team of nearly 100 professionals united by the mission to digitally decarbonize the built environment. Our culture thrives at the intersection of building technology, data science, and software engineering. We believe in creating solutions that deliver measurable environmental impact while providing tangible cost savings for property owners. From implementing IoT edge devices to deploying AI-driven predictive controls, our cross-functional teams work collaboratively to solve complex challenges in building automation. We value continuous learning, academic partnerships, and pragmatic problem-solving - qualities that enable us to deliver sophisticated yet practical solutions that make buildings smarter, more efficient, and environmentally responsible.

We're an IT and Engineering consulting company that believes tech has no boundaries - neither do we. What started as a three-person team in Australia back in 2004 has grown into a diverse family of 70 amazing people spread across Stockholm and Bengaluru. We rebranded from Soltia to Aqilea in June 2024, but our DNA remains the same: we love technology, design, and quality, and we're passionate about bringing together talented folks from all over the world to solve real problems for our clients. Our journey has taken us from a light bulb moment at an Australian university to becoming a DI Gasell-nominated company (four years running!) with ISO certifications to prove we take quality seriously. But honestly, we're most proud of our culture - the kind where 15 different nationalities work side by side, sharing knowledge and genuinely enjoying the ride. Balance isn't just a buzzword for us; it's how we operate. Whether you're a consultant, partner, or client, you'll find us approachable, innovative, and always ready to think beyond the usual.

Founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka, we set out to solve a fundamental problem: data needs to move continuously, not sit still in silos. Our platform helps companies stream, connect, process, and govern their data in real-time so they can react faster and make better decisions. Every day, we work with engineers, architects, and leaders who are building event-driven architectures, powering real-time analytics, and creating the foundation for AI applications. Whether it's through Confluent Cloud, our fully managed service, or our self-managed options, we're committed to making data streaming accessible and reliable for everyone - from small startups to the world's largest enterprises.
