About

Fastino builds task-specific language models (TLMs) and agentic systems that deliver specialized, efficient AI for enterprise applications. The company develops GLiNER-2, a multi-task information extraction system with schema-driven interface for named entity recognition, text classification, and structured extraction. Fastino operates up to 1,000 times faster than traditional large language models while maintaining high accuracy, enabling real-time applications with sub-100ms latency. Their models are optimized for specific developer tasks including summarization, function calling, text-to-JSON conversion, zero-shot classification, information extraction, and PII redaction.

The company provides a personalization layer for intelligent agents, offering dynamic user-level context and memory for applications. Fastino has established significant market presence with 200,000+ monthly downloads, 2400+ GitHub stars, and 90M+ end users. Backed by $25M in seed funding from Khosla Ventures, Microsoft, and Insight Partners, Fastino serves enterprise developers building AI systems that require predictable pricing, superior performance on targeted tasks, and the ability to operate without GPU infrastructure for certain use cases.

Swiftly, Inc.

We're a team building software that helps transit agencies make public transportation more reliable and efficient. Most of us came from the transit world or have spent years thinking about urban mobility, so we understand how frustrating it is when buses don't show up on time or when riders can't trust the information they're given. We're determined to solve this problem properly by creating a data platform that gives agencies the tools they need to run better service. Today, over 200 transit agencies in 12 countries use our platform to share real-time passenger information with riders, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance. Our customers include major agencies like LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, MBTA, and WMATA. We've helped agencies improve on-time performance by up to 40%, increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%, and analyze transit data 90% faster. At the end of the day, we're working to make transit a more attractive option for everyone who depends on it to get where they need to go.

TWOSENSE.AI

Twosense builds continuous authentication platforms that eliminate passwords and secure user identities through behavioral biometrics. The company's AI-powered system analyzes unique user patterns - including typing speed, mouse movement, and device interaction - to verify identity in real-time without interrupting workflows. Organizations across healthcare, financial services, and contact centers deploy Twosense to achieve passwordless access, stop session hijacking, and enforce zero-trust security policies automatically. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York, Twosense launched with the U.S. Department of Defense as its first customer before expanding to enterprise clients. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing IAM infrastructure from providers like Okta, Microsoft, and OneLogin, using Continuous Access Evaluation (CAEP) signals to maintain real-time security posture. By replacing manual authentication with automated behavioral analysis, Twosense removes the single largest vulnerability in most organizations: human behavior.

NODA AI

We're a veteran-owned team building orchestration software for defense autonomous systems. Instead of focusing on individual platforms like drones or vehicles, we're developing the software that makes heterogeneous unmanned systems work together across air, sea, land, and space. Our approach centers on algorithm superiority - creating tested tactics, techniques, and procedures that can be deployed rapidly to complex mission environments. We believe the future of defense isn't just better hardware, but smarter coordination between existing assets. Built by patriots, veterans, scientists, and AI practitioners, our team brings deep experience from NASA, DARPA, MIT, Georgia Tech, and the USAF. We've developed products like Urza (our universal orchestration engine) and LARIA (our tactics development environment) to help government and industry partners design, test, and deploy autonomous behaviors. We're not interested in the traditional defense industry approach of closed, monolithic systems - we're building open, collaborative tools that work across different vendors and platforms.

Hayden AI

Hayden AI exists to solve one of the most persistent problems facing cities today: inefficient and unsafe transportation systems. Every day, illegally parked vehicles in bus lanes and at bus stops delay thousands of transit riders, forcing buses - and the people who depend on them - to wait in traffic while cars block their path. This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a crisis of accessibility that disproportionately affects seniors, people with disabilities, and communities that rely on public transit to access jobs, healthcare, and education. Hayden AI's mobile perception platform combines cutting-edge vision AI with purpose-built, vehicle-mounted hardware to identify and document traffic violations in real time, giving cities the tools they need to enforce transit laws and keep bus lanes clear. By partnering with transit agencies and municipalities across the United States, Hayden AI has become the largest provider of mobile automated bus zone and bike lane enforcement systems, deploying technology that measurably improves transit performance. Studies have shown that buses equipped with Hayden AI see speed increases of up to 40% on some routes, reducing idling time and carbon emissions while making public transit more reliable and accessible. The company's privacy-first approach focuses on identifying objects, not people, ensuring compliance with security and privacy regulations while delivering the data insights cities need to optimize traffic flow and improve public safety. Recognized as a six-time GovTech 100 winner and named to TIME Magazine's Top GreenTech Companies of 2024, Hayden AI is proving that practical AI applications can transform urban mobility and create more sustainable, equitable communities for everyone.
