In 1995, brothers Stanislas and Godefroy de Bentzmann founded Devoteam with a vision to help organizations navigate the rapidly evolving technology landscape. They recognized that businesses needed expert guidance to leverage emerging technologies for sustainable growth. What began as a French consulting firm has grown into a EMEA leader in AI-driven tech consulting, with over 11,000 tech natives spread across more than 25 countries. For nearly three decades, Devoteam has evolved from a traditional IT consultancy into a transformative force specializing in cloud platforms, cybersecurity, data analytics, and sustainability. The company now helps enterprises worldwide embrace AI and digital transformation to create lasting value. As tech architects, Devoteam guides businesses through complex technological shifts while remaining committed to their core belief: technology should serve people, not the other way around.

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.

Ritual is building the network for open AI infrastructure, bringing artificial intelligence on-chain through a sovereign execution layer designed for AI-native operations. Founded in 2023, Ritual tackles the fundamental flaws in today's AI landscape: centralized APIs, lack of computational integrity, privacy risks, and censorship resistance. By merging cryptography and AI, Ritual enables developers to integrate AI models directly into decentralized applications with verifiable computation and privacy-preserving schemes. The company's first product, Infernet, is a decentralized oracle network that allows any protocol, application, or smart contract to access AI models with just a few lines of code. Ritual has raised $25 million in Series A funding led by Archetype, with participation from Accomplice, Robot Ventures, dao5, Accel, and others. With a team of 11-50 employees based in New York, Ritual is working with world-class advisors including Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol co-founder) and Sreeram Kannan (EigenLayer founder) to build the schelling point for AI in web3.

Pathway is shaking the foundations of artificial intelligence by introducing the world's first post-transformer frontier model that solves continual learning. The company's breakthrough architecture, called BDH, outperforms traditional Transformer models and provides enterprises with full visibility into how the model works. By combining this foundational model with the fastest data processing engine on the market, Pathway enables organizations to move beyond incremental optimization toward truly contextualized, experience-driven intelligence. The company was founded in 2020 by Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who built a team of AI pioneers including CTO Jan Chorowski (who worked with Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton at Google Brain and was the first to apply Attention to speech) and CSO Adrian Kosowski (a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at age 20). Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California with additional offices in Paris, France and Wroclaw, Poland. The company is backed by leading investors including TQ Ventures and Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer architecture, and is trusted by enterprise clients such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.

In 2017, our founders Ty Harris and Matt Wielbut recognized a critical gap in the homeowners insurance market: comprehensive coverage that was actually simple to understand and purchase. Drawing from Harris's experience at Liberty Mutual and Wielbut's background building two insurtech ventures, they founded Openly in Boston to rebuild insurance from the ground up. They saw an opportunity to leverage actuarial science, machine learning, and cutting-edge technology to create a platform where independent agents could provide premium, customizable coverage without the traditional headaches. What started as a vision to make premium insurance straightforward has evolved into a technology-enabled company serving homeowners across 24 states. Openly offers guaranteed replacement cost coverage up to $5M and liability coverage up to $1M, with policies that are truly customizable to individual needs. The company's leadership team brings over 200 years of combined industry experience, having identified and addressed the fundamental gaps in traditional insurance - from customer service to technology. By embracing what works and eliminating what doesn't, Openly continues to expand its footprint, partnering with independent agents to deliver clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind to homeowners who deserve more complete coverage at competitive prices.
