In 2021, AI vision­ary Raquel Urtasun founded Waabi with an unwavering belief that Physical AI could revolutionize how humanity moves and connects. From the opening spark, Waabi has pursued a simulation-first approach to autonomous trucking, building an end-to-end AI platform that can reason, adapt, and scale across real-world environments. The company developed Waabi World, a high-fidelity simulator; the Waabi Driver, an AI-powered stack designed to learn from simulated and real-world data; and a Direct-to-Customer trucking model that integrates with current logistics networks. Waabi has established partnerships with Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Uber, and it has attracted investors including NVIDIA, Porsche, and BlackRock, underscoring the belief that a single, shared AI brain can power both autonomous trucks and robotaxis. The Toronto-based company emphasizes safety, interpretability, and verifiability, aiming to accelerate deployment on public roads while reducing the cost and risk of traditional road testing. Today, Waabi continues to expand its global footprint with offices in Toronto, San Francisco, Dallas, and Pittsburgh, and it remains at the forefront of Physical AI by advancing Waabi World and the Waabi Driver. The company has publicly discussed a major funding round and strategic collaborations that position Waabi to scale across industries and geographies, deploying autonomous transportation solutions with safety and efficiency at the core. The Waabi story is about turning a bold Canadian AI dream into a worldwide platform for autonomous mobility, backed by leading technology partners and a growing ecosystem of investors and customers.

Traditional software development is broken: teams struggle with disconnected tools, security is an afterthought, and innovation slows under the weight of complexity. GitLab exists to fix this by providing the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, where teams and their AI agents ship secure software faster. Founded in 2011 as an open source project, GitLab now serves over 50 million users and more than half of the Fortune 100, replacing fragmented toolchains with a single platform that unifies planning, coding, security, and deployment. Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world. As an all-remote company with 2,500+ team members across 65+ countries, we've proven that distributed teams can build world-class software at scale. With over 170 consecutive monthly releases and 5,000+ contributors to our open core, we're transforming how organizations like NVIDIA, Siemens, and Lockheed Martin deliver value. GitLab doesn't just store code - it orchestrates the entire software lifecycle, giving every developer, security professional, and operator the tools they need to build the future.
