Influur was born out of a critical gap in the creator economy. When co-founder Alessandra Angelini worked at CNN, she discovered that brands struggled to connect with influencers - influencers were overwhelmed with thousands of messages across platforms and simply couldn't keep up. Together with her co-founders, Angelini envisioned a platform that would revolutionize influencer marketing the way Google AdSense transformed advertising, creating a seamless bridge between corporate brands and the creator world. Today, Influur stands as the first two-sided marketplace purpose-built for the creator economy, backed by $10 million in Series A funding from Point72 Ventures and HTwenty Capital. The platform hosts over 30,000 verified influencers and 5,000 brands across 11 countries, offering cutting-edge AI tools that help brands predict campaign performance and ensure creators get paid on time. Unlike platforms that scrape web data, Influur maintains a verified community where influencers typically respond within 24 hours. The company's innovative financial tools include an escrow-based payment system and instant payouts, positioning Influur to become the financial backbone for creators worldwide. With offices spanning Miami, San Francisco, Mexico, and Argentina, Influur continues to scale rapidly, serving major clients like Meta, Warner Music Group, Paramount, and Netflix while redefining how brands and creators collaborate in the digital age.

At ConsenSys, we believe the future of finance is decentralized, open, and accessible to everyone. Founded by Ethereum co-creator Joseph Lubin in 2014, we've grown from a small collective of Ethereum believers into a global team of over 700 technologists, researchers, and builders. Our engineers and designers work with long-term conviction and open-source principles, contributing to every major Ethereum upgrade from the genesis block through The Merge and beyond. We operate as a remote-first, Ethereum-native organization where autonomy and collaboration drive innovation across products like MetaMask, Infura, and Linea. We're not just building products - we're architecting the infrastructure for a new global economic system. Our team combines deep technical rigor with a mission to make web3 universally easy to use and develop on. Whether we're launching MetaMask Mobile, developing institutional-grade staking infrastructure, or advocating for smart policy in Washington and Brussels, every ConsenSys team member plays a role in decentralizing trust. We champion the builder instinct in everyone, creating tools that empower millions to control their digital assets and identity. If you're passionate about shaping the next layer of the internet and want to work alongside people who believe in decentralized systems as a path to greater equity, you'll thrive here.

We're a cybersecurity team building platforms that help organizations make sense of threat intelligence and manage cyber risk more effectively. Most of us came from the security industry, so we understand the real challenges analysts and security teams face every day - drowning in alerts, disconnected tools, and siloed data that make it nearly impossible to see the full picture. Our platform brings together threat intelligence operations, security orchestration, and cyber risk quantification in one place, so teams can actually operationalize their intelligence instead of just collecting it. Now part of Dataminr, we're leveraging AI to help defenders detect threats faster, prioritize what matters most, and communicate risk in business terms that leadership understands. We're headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and work with hundreds of enterprises worldwide who trust us to help them stay ahead of adversaries.

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.

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.
