Kitware

We're building the new Adobe of tomorrow - an AI-first design platform that's redefining how creators work. Our platform combines the best creative AI models with deep editing control, transforming quick ideas into brand-ready design work. We've grown from a startup to millions of users in just two years, backed by $45M+ from investors who also backed Slack, Dropbox, and Figma. Our team of 120+ people spans 30+ countries, all working remotely to make professional design accessible to everyone. We're product-led at our core, with engineers, product managers, and designers shaping everything we build. The platform features AI image generation, vector creation, text effects, mockups, and thousands of templates - all in one intuitive canvas that helps creators produce standout visuals faster than ever before.

We launched in 2000 as a spin-off from ViaSat, pursuing terrestrial applications of advanced wireless communications technology. What started as a focused research effort has grown into a global leader in highly advanced algorithms, waveforms, and communications systems - ranging from small form factor radio products to fully integrated solutions for mission-critical operations. Our flagship TSM waveform powers a wide array of Software Defined Radios, delivering voice, data, video, and position location information across massive, scalable networks. We serve defense, government, public safety, and commercial markets worldwide, focusing on mobile ad hoc networking that performs reliably when conditions get challenging. Our team of engineers and scientists continues pushing the boundaries of what's possible in tactical communications, ensuring that when nothing else works, TrellisWare keeps teams connected.

Banxware is an embedded lending and orchestration-layer fintech that helps small and medium-sized businesses access capital through the platforms they already use. The company focuses on SME financing for contexts where banks and lenders need structured, decision-grade data rather than just funding capacity. Banxware positions its 'orchestration layer' as the bridge between loan origination and capital by applying AI-powered data structuring, automated assessments, and instant decisioning across embedded platforms. For partners such as marketplaces, payment providers, POS providers, and other aggregators, Banxware enables white-label loan offerings inside their own customer journeys. The materials describe end-to-end automation for loan origination (and optional loan management), digital KYC/AML, and a 'one integration' approach to reduce operational complexity (e.g., handling many applications without a proportional staff increase). Banxware also emphasizes data-driven risk scoring and cashflow-based underwriting to improve conversion and risk assessment, with the intent of making SME lending faster, more efficient, and more profitable for its partners.

In 2021, LiveKit's founders recognized a critical gap in the developer infrastructure landscape: the tools for building real-time audio and video experiences were fragmented, complex, and ill-suited for the emerging era of AI-powered interactions. They started LiveKit as an open source project to make building real-time applications significantly easier for developers everywhere. What began with a media server and some SDKs has evolved into a comprehensive developer platform for building voice, video, and physical AI agents. Today, over 200,000 developers and teams - from leading AI and robotics labs to Fortune 500 companies - rely on LiveKit as the default infrastructure layer for building AI that can interact with the world in real time. The platform powers OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode, facilitates billions of calls annually, and enables seamless multimodal AI interactions across web, mobile, and embedded devices.

In 1985, our founders recognized that the future of transportation would depend on something that didn't yet exist: comprehensive, accurate digital maps. Barry Karlin and Galen Collins pioneered the digitization of navigation with a vision to revolutionize how people and businesses understand and navigate the world. What began as Navteq evolved into HERE Technologies, now the world's #1 location platform powering over 180 million vehicles across more than 200 countries and territories. Today, HERE serves as the unified live map for the world's leading automakers and enterprises. Our location platform enables automotive innovations from automated driving and digital cockpits to advanced driver assistance systems, while also supporting logistics, navigation, and location intelligence across industries. We've been a pioneer in mapping and location technology for nearly four decades, creating the first digital map and continuously pushing the boundaries of what's possible with spatial intelligence. Our open, secure platform puts privacy at the forefront, giving customers precision, flexibility, and control over their location data as they build safer, more efficient, and more intelligent solutions for the future of mobility.
