CruxOCM is transforming midstream pipeline operations with human-centered industrial automation software that serves as a co-pilot for control room operators. The company's RIPA™ (Robotic Industrial Process Automation) platform enables pipeline operators to increase throughput, reduce operational costs, and improve safety without requiring infrastructure changes or additional headcount. Since its founding in 2017, CruxOCM has established itself as a leader in the energy sector, serving major clients like ONEOK and securing $17 million in Series A funding led by Microsoft's venture fund M12 in 2024. CruxOCM's closed-loop automation software executes operating logic in real time, sitting seamlessly on top of existing SCADA and DCS systems to enhance - not replace - human operators. The technology has demonstrated measurable impact, reducing human intervention by up to 85% in critical operations and addressing the fact that approximately 95% of safety and environmental incidents in heavy industry are attributed to human error. With over 2.4 million miles of pipeline in the USA alone moving millions of barrels of oil and gas equivalent daily, CruxOCM's solutions unlock immense value by capturing idle capacity, optimizing power consumption, and standardizing execution across pipeline infrastructure.

At Cribl, you'll find a team that works fearlessly, learns quickly, improves constantly, and celebrates wins at every turn - all while laughing a lot along the way.

In 2018, Crusoe was founded with a revolutionary insight: the massive computing power needed for the future didn't have to come at the expense of our climate. Co-founders Chase Lochmiller and Cully Cavness pioneered an energy-first approach, initially converting wasted natural gas from oil fields into power for computing operations. This innovative beginning evolved into a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company that would fundamentally reshape how the world thinks about the intersection of energy and computing. Today, Crusoe has transformed from those early bitcoin mining roots into a leader in sustainable AI infrastructure. The company designs, builds, and operates purpose-built data centers and a cloud platform powered by clean energy sources including wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower. With gigawatt-scale data center campuses and partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA and AMD, Crusoe enables organizations to build ambitious AI solutions without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability. Their mission to accelerate the abundance of both energy and intelligence has attracted billions in funding and established them as a critical player in the AI revolution.

In 2008, Crealytics emerged from a critical insight in the digital marketing landscape: brands were drowning in data but starving for actionable insights. The founders recognized that traditional marketing agencies were struggling to bridge the gap between strategy and execution, often resulting in wasted ad spend and missed opportunities in an increasingly complex digital ecosystem. From that realization, Crealytics was born as a forward-thinking performance marketing agency with a mission to help brands navigate the evolving digital advertising terrain. Over the past 15+ years, the company has evolved from a specialized search marketing firm into a full-funnel media agency that combines AI-enabled optimization, deep data expertise, and insight-driven creative strategy. Today, Crealytics has helped leading B2C and B2B brands like ASOS, Foot Locker, Urban Outfitters, and Staples generate over $500 million in extra profit, transforming how they approach paid media across search, social, display, video, and more.
