We're the team behind SAS, a global analytics and AI software company that started as a statistical analysis project at North Carolina State University in the late 1960s. What began as a tool to help agricultural researchers make sense of their data has grown into one of the world's largest privately held software companies, with our software used by most Fortune 500 companies. We're still privately held and still led by our co-founder Jim Goodnight, who helped turn this university project into an independent business back in 1976. Our software helps organizations access, manage, analyze and understand their data to make better decisions. We've spent decades building analytics platforms that combine data management, advanced analytics and AI - and we invest heavily in research and development to keep pushing what's possible. Whether it's helping banks detect fraud, hospitals improve patient outcomes, or manufacturers optimize their supply chains, we focus on solving real problems with data. We're known not just for our technology but for our workplace culture, which has earned recognition from organizations like Fast Company, Forbes and Newsweek.

We're a team of clinicians, engineers, designers, and builders united by one goal: halving the time it takes to deliver patient-first care. We built Heidi as an AI Care Partner that handles the mundane administrative work - documentation, form filling, and task management - so clinicians can focus on what actually matters: their patients. Most of us come from healthcare or have experienced firsthand the burnout that comes from endless paperwork, which is why we're so passionate about getting this right. In just 18 months, we've returned more than 18 million hours to clinicians worldwide, supporting over 2 million patient visits each week across 116 countries and 110+ languages. We work fast, ship small, and aren't afraid to fail in pursuit of building something truly original. Backed by nearly $100 million from investors like Point72, Anthropic, and Blackbird, we're expanding globally while staying grounded in our mission to double healthcare capacity.

Infrared builds the infrastructure layer for Proof of Liquidity on Berachain. The protocol simplifies interaction with Berachain's novel consensus mechanism through liquid staking products that make PoL accessible to everyone. As the flagship application of Proof of Liquidity, Infrared maximizes value for stakeholders through social aggregation of BGT via infrastructure-level PoL vaults and liquid staking derivatives like iBGT and iBERA. The protocol provides a comprehensive suite of products designed to optimize rewards and user experience within the Berachain ecosystem. iBGT serves as the liquid version of the Berachain Governance Token (BGT), allowing users to stake while maintaining liquidity. iBERA offers liquid staking for BERA tokens, making staking accessible without the technical requirements of running a validator. The PoL vaults automate complex reward optimization strategies, enabling users to maximize their returns without deep technical knowledge. Backed by leading investors including Framework Ventures and Binance Labs, Infrared has raised over $16 million to establish itself as the premier liquidity staking protocol on Berachain.

With 6 million merchant locations globally, 1.6 billion issuing accounts on file, and the capacity to process 25,000 financial transactions per second at peak, we are the invisible force powering everyday financial interactions for millions of people worldwide.
